I am outraged by the animal abuse! Putting spikes on CGI bears. How dare they! /sob

Can one be in-raged? I know you can be enraged, but what about in-raged?

That's inrageous!

Poeple with outies are inraged. That's why most people are outraged - because we have innies.

I have an innie!

Damn, my bellybutton is broken.

I'm hardly ever outraged. I hope there is elective surgery available to repair it.

My son really wants to see this but I haven't decided yet what to think. I eagerly await your review Alex, as they are always insightful.

Here's my review.

It has flaws, particularly in that a lot is crammed into it while still staying under 2 hours.

Overall, though, I liked it.

There is really no religion in the movie, without knowledge of the books it would be difficult to say with certainty that the Magisterium represents religion and not any of the plentiful examples of secular authoritarian oppression (Stalinist communism; Rush Limbaugh's delusional views of the Groupthink American University Campus; etc.)

I'm glad I saw and wrote the review before reading the long article about the process of getting the movie made in this month's Atlantic. It is a good read but would have been too influential on my thinking.

I'm outraged by the level of suckage that appears in the trailer. However, if the Christians hate it, I might be pleasantly surprised.

scaeagles 12-07-2007 11:13 AM

Hmmm....what if I posted "if gay people hate it, I might be pleasantly surprised"?

Would that be considered bigotry? I'm just wondering....

I kinda lost interest in the movie when the bear started talking in the trailer.
