I saw the movie, and read the second book.
Thus far it is a depressing read. Characters die horribly,
some are tortured mercilessly before death...and all manner of horridness
occurs.
:-\
I certainly wouldn't let my kid watch/read this stuff.

What's even more fun are the Zoloft 'Bipolar' bears. ;)

Even better, the polar bear with armor looking like it was purchased at
K-Mart won the battle.
But still: Polar Bear combat.

yeah, I spent more time filling in the gaps to my daughter than
watching the movie.
I was pretty excited to see this movie after I read the trilogy.
After seeing the execution of this movie, I can't say that I'm
disappointed that the next one will probably not see the light of day.

Gnosticism is a specific belief system that says in essence that the "real
truth" about Jesus was hidden and that his message was changed very early on
into something it was never meant to be. Gnostic beliefs typically are much
less exclusive than any kind of fundamentalist belief.
In a way, Gnos

No, I would say that, for example, Thomas ("doubting Thomas") was the

I'm sure the ones who are upset have not actually seen it and
therefore they're spreading a lot of FUD about the movie based on
hearsay.

The chief Rabbi is only the chief Rabbi of Israel. It's a political

of the sort. We don't have anything like that. Orthodox Judaism has no
