“As a child, I really enjoyed all of His Dark Products. I was really psyched when The Golden Compass was going to be a motion picture. Holy shit, it was among the worst movies I’ve ever seen. And not in a ha-ha-funny sort of worst movie, like The Room, but just bad.”

“Which is an embarassment, because it had some best casting choices, like Nicole Kidman as Mrs. Coulter and Sam Elliot as Lee Scoresby.”

“LikewiseEva Green, Ian McKellen, Daniel Craig, Ian McShane, Christopher Lee, Kathy Bates!!! The movie was simply lousy with acting skill. Short of something like Film 43, I believe Golden Compass is the best cast work of garbage I have actually ever seen. What a colossal loss of capacity.”
