A movie should bring the Golden Compass to the attention of the
fundamentalist book baning people.  It always surprised me that they
went after Harry Potter as "Satanist" for being about witches (as if
there weren't ten zillion other books with witches from Wizard of Oz on)
and ignored Pullman's series, which, by his own admission, was
deliberately anti-religion.
