Movies

There is a fantasy movie in theaters right now, a bit of anti-Christian garbage called "The Golden Compass" and even though I love a good fantasy movie this one will not get a dime from me, I won't be seeing it in a theater and won't be bothering with it when it comes out on DVD either. The Golden Compass is based on a book written by a sworn atheist, Philip Pullman, where witches are good, the church is bad, and in the end, god dies. I did read the whole vile Pullman series, "His Dark Materials" (it was loaned to me so he didn't get a dime from that either) and found it offensive overall.

After the first book I thought he was misguided, by the second book I thought he was a deluded heretic and by the time I finished the third I was convinced his co-author was Satan himself. I'm not joking nor am I exaggerating, this was my actual reaction.

The next fantasy movie I plan to see is the next installment of the Chronicles of Narnia. The Narnia books are Christian, and entertaining as well, we don't need to support creeps like Pullman to get decent fantasy. Lord of the Rings is another example of GOOD fantasy that is not anti-Christian but actually pro-Christian.

Here is the trailer for the next Narnia movie, Prince Caspian. If you haven't read the Narnia books you really should, they are great stuff, easy to read and fast moving too.

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

Wikileaks and police state censorship

I saw an article today on SF Gate about some nit wit Bush appointed Federal Judge ordering a website I'd never heard of called Wikileaks shut down because they were publishing some bank documents from some corrupt Swiss bank. The amusing thing is that they can't actually do it! Even more amusing is that this just draws attention to the site and makes it that much more visible, yay idiot goons! :-) There are mirror sites all over the world and it's almost impossible for thuggish police state goons to figure out how to close off all of the leaks :-) One mirror site is here: http://wikileaks.be/wiki/Wikileaks The US site they tried to close down is still here: http://88.80.13.160 "Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe,...

Child Driven Education

Here is a Ted Talk with Sugata Mitra on Child Driven Education... very unschooling-like I think.  :-)  I've seen videos of him before, this is an update on his research on letting groups of kids learn on the internet, mostly without any supervision at all.  Posted via email from The Angry Gnome
