Perceived?? Um, you mean the part where the heroine kills God? The part with the assorted flavors of whacked-out angels? The whole trilogy and its "everything Christians hope for is a lie at best and a repressive plot at worst"? Yeah, I tend to perceive a little bit of a bias there.
in plainspeak: the revived Christian voice will boycott the film and it will be box office poison
I'm not gonna see it; Pullman annoyed me sufficiently with his interviews alone that I decided against putting any money in his pocket. Too bad; I enjoyed the first book and parts of the second, but never bothered with the third.
Oh, then you missed the *best* parts, then. The third was one long screed that, at the end, completely lost its nerve and reverted to the worst conventions of "young adult" fiction.
