The Real Question about The Golden Compass

December 11th, 2007

EW’s PopWatch blog has brought up a very good point: why on earth does Daniel Craig’s character Lord Asriel shave his beard after he goes to the cold, snowy North? And why does the film waste time to show him shaving, instead of killing Roger or plotting to kill God or any of the exciting things that Lord Asriel does? Is the razor theme a nod to Sweeney Todd, which I’m hoping will be a much better movie?

For my money, Daniel Craig looks much better with a beard. It helps to balance out his humongous ears.
