so i went to see The Golden Compass this weekend ONLY because i liked the parts in the trailer where the polar bears fight.
Well i wasn't disappointed. If you haven't seen it yet i won't give anything away except to say that if for no other reason, you need to go see the Ice Bears (as they're called) in The Golden Compass. They wear massive armors and fight great battles. and they have their own kingdom called Svalbard. sweet.
Sir Ian McKellan provides the voice for Jorek, an ice bear who is featured prominently in the film.
So if you have some free time and few extra bucks, try to catch this cool little movie.
Aside from the ice bears who are the REAL stars of this movie, the film also features a very statuesque Nikki Kidman as well as Daniel Craig who's also easy on the eyes.
Two thumbs up says Bacon Soup.

The Ice Bears is the name of Knoxville's hockey team. Mickey and I always laugh about this because you could add the word "ice" in front of any animal's name to make it a hockey mascot. Ice Monkeys, Ice Worms, Ice Sloths...
I accompanied Mr. Avila on this trip to the theater and it is a great movie. The Ice Bears are BAD ASS and Sam Elliott is funny. Plus, even though I watched this movie, I still love God and Jesus and am not considering atheism anytime soon... imagine that!
Louisiana had an ECHL (third tier pro hockey below AHL and NHL) called the IceGators. The real question is who would win that war? The Ice Bears or the Ice Gators? I think the Ice Gators have an advantage given their natural armor and low center of gravity.
Sign me up for the Ice Ninjas vs. Ice Pirates game. Or movie. Or video game. Pretty much any thing you could do with ninjas vs. pirates on ice would be ok with me. The ice bears could referee.
Wouldn't the ice bears just eat the ice pirates and ice ninjas? You really don't want your refs eating the competitors.
I think the ice bears would win over the ice gators because the bears know how to survive in the extreme cold. The alligators would just freeze up and die!
Meaghan is correct. the gator (or any crocodilian for that matter)is an ectotherm, meaning it cannot regulate its own body heat. it needs an outside source of heat to maintain its body temperature. if it gets too cold it's body systems begin to shut down.
Ice Bears, on the other hand, are perfectly adapted to the frigid climes of the polar north. With a thick insulating layer of fat, hollow translucent hairs and black skin and a tapered body for streamline swimming, it is the apex predator withing its range. It is as adept at hunting seals as it is at taking down caribou. It is lord and soveriegn of the arctic tundra.
my money's on the ice bear.
But it's an ice gator. Obviously they have solved the cold problem the same way that cold blooded fish and arthropods thrive in arctic waters.
excellent point mr. johnsTon. this issue clearly needs further analysis. I think that Mickey should weigh in. For some odd reason i really respect his views and i think that he would be able to tell us definitively who would win an epic battle between an Ice Gator and an Ice Bear. Clearly the gator would have the advantage in a water fight. but the bear, more nimble on land and with its sheer power would have the upper paw on land. Mickey, you decide.
I vote for Ice Gators, simply because 1) they have adapted to cold conditions, hence the name Ice Gators and 2) they have more teeth than bears.
That really is a tough one to call. In the end, though, Chuck Norris would just step in and kick both their asses for not excepting Christ or the supremacy of Chuck Norris. Case closed.
But Ice Chuck Norris doesn't really have a ring to it.
somehow, inexplicably, Mickey's answer is correct. i'll accept it without challenging.
God's will is done.
