Didn't see any protesters saw "Golden Compass" LOVED IT
The 700 seat Cinema Center Theater(the largest in town now that the Indians Hills was demolished) had very few people in it for the 5 o'clock matinee. I don't know if it was the bad publicity from the christian jihads or the after effects of the Wednesday shooting. Strange there were no preview trailers. I loved the film from the first moments. By far the best film I've seen this year. I hope the film does well, or the next two books won't be filmed.
no jihadis at my theater either, but not crowded at all for an 8 p.m. show. We are in Michigan though and the economy is depressed. the theaters have been almost vacant for months.
1. Haven't seen it yet... I'm waiting until I go home for xmas to see it with my younger sister
I recently read the book though... it's WONDERFUL! One of the best I've read in a while (Lyra is officially in my top 10 list of BEST FICTIONAL CHARACTERS EVER!).
I was the Chairman of the small local group that fought so hard for two months to save it. I still have a couple pristine autographed shirts around here somewhere we used for raising funds. There is a documentary on DVD available with the full story. It has played around the country at film festivals.
