Lynne, I’m sure you’re partly right. But the film was the first of three and it did return. That means they would have made the next two and then cashed in on all the DVD sales too. Sure, it was no LOTR, but it wasn’t a flop.

Hello Alaln,

I’ve read both the books (loved them) and see the movie(blah). Honestly, I think the sequels are not goingto be made because New Line wanted another Lord of the Rings franchise and Compass didn’t deliver the same mega-returns.

The movie was not bad, but it could have been so much better. They picked the wrong director, basically. It plodded.

I think people are letting this Catholic nutcase take too much credit. Basically, money is what talks.

Good things to think about. I hate when religious people do stuff like this. It’s as if they think God is too weak to fight his own battles.
Christians should honestly just be taking care of each other, feeding the poor, visiting prisoners, speaking out against injustice, worshipping God, and quit wasting time with political crap. Then people will really get a glimpse of the God in the “best selling epic fantasy of all time”.

Mark – I’m a writer and a blogger. It’s what I do. You don’t have to read, but I’ll happily debate. Incidentally, I would never let your beliefs affect what I taught you if you came to me to learn Kung Fu. You will let that affect your perception of my ability to teach you though. Interesting, no?

Michael – You’re right, I remember him now!

I think I’ve sent you that radio link before:
http://www.atheistmedia.com/2009/05/bill-donohue-denies-catholic-church.html

Donohue is really really funny and worth Googling.

Here’s the choicest quote:

The culture war is up for grabs. The good news is that religious conservatives continue to breed like rabbits, while secular saboteurs have shut down: they’re too busy walking their dogs, going to bathhouses and aborting their kids. Time, it seems, is on the side of the angels.

Michael – is that right? Shame he seems to have such an influence then. You’d think the moderate Catholics would shout him down and denounce him as a spokesman.
