‘Golden Compass’ Breaks A Record. Of Sorts.

March 8, 2008 – 12:51 am

March 6, 2008 – 10:01 pm

On the heels of the cutting board, comes the doormat. The invasion is still in full swing. I kinda wish I hadn’t taken down my old counterinvasion site.

Filming begins on what Variety says is “part of a planned three-picture arc” here in New Mexico starting May 5. Full article here.
