The Golden Compass

It's hard to say what was worse about this movie, the very digital effects or the constant stream of expositional dialogue. I kept wondering as we watched whether the cityscapes and backgrounds were original or borrowed from the models of Naboo created for Star Wars Episode I.

Pain scale score: 4 out of 10

Thankfully the snacks were better than the film. In addition to the always delicious Salt and Pepper flavored Kettle Chips we also sampled the new (to me) flavor of Oreo cookies, Strawberry Milkshake. To my surprise and delight the cookies were actually pretty good - the strawberry flavor worked well with the chocolate cookie.
