Today we’re going to get a little bit artsy as we look at a classic Quebecois film...

I realise this is old news, but honestly, the bible is REALLY hold news and you guys are still talking about it so I figured i'de post this, because I didn't quite get the whole scoop.
What was up with the movie The Golden Compass? Why did the church get all pissy about it? I mean, it's just a story... and from what I heard, they treated it like it was a bible written by Satan! Did anyone get the full story of why the church was so upset about it?

Back in the day before he became the great defender of free speech, Bill Maher was the grumpy, contrarian and somewhat libertarian host of a discussion show called Politically Incorrect. I used to watch that show with a mixture of interest, amusement and frustration. Interest by the points of view brought by Maher and his guests; amusement from Maher’s quick wit and frustration because inevitably there was a guest saying something insightful that Maher would shut down for no good reason than he disagreed with him.
Your thoughts?
Oh my my my.
Last night I saw an ad for the new "Saw" movie (horror slasher type series of flicks) and they actually opened the ad with
WWJD
And then asked, "What would Jigsaw do?"
Jigsaw being the psychotic killer, of course. Now I'm used to WWJD referring to Jesus, but usually I don't see the acronym "out there" in the wider culture.
