The last half the movie is about quick, daring women taking down a single hulking misogynist threat who decorates his war machine with a death motif. Kinda spot on for the setting. <br /><br />The Golden Compass is about a rebellion against a repressive theocracy, and the visuals are amazing. Plus, Nicole Kidman has never been sexier, and she plays a perfect Ellen Dacoveney in that movie. <br /><br />Star Wars Ep I is all about the visuals. Lucasfilm designed Naboo based on Art Nouveau and the works of Alphonse Mucha especially,and I drew on those same elements for the Choicers. When you're seeing Naboo on screen you're pretty much seeing the Choicer Covenant.<br /><br />Finally, Talledega Nights is an amazing satire of Southern, white Christianity. There's alot about it that reminds me of the Lifer Enclaves. <br /><br />CHRISChris A.
