| As an avid reader of the Narnia Chronicles as a child, I absolutely knew the second I saw Tilda Swinton's sexy middle-aged ass that I had to see the movie. I suppose you could say that Narnia Chronicles were the only classic series featuring make-believe animals that I ever finished reading. That was either because 1) it was enjoyable to read or 2) it was the only series of fantasy books that I was given by someone who felt sorry that we were too poor to buy books. Actually, I truly did enjoy reading the Narnia books. Sure, I don't remember shit about what happened in them now (something about mice and onions, I think), but I do remember that they were absolutely confusing and impossible for a fourth grader to understand fully. I guess the fourth graders who went to Bible study might have understood it, or not understood it but saw the underlying Christian ethics of it all and thus were enlightened by it. But I do remember barely getting through the books because of the style of writing and vocabulary. Or maybe I just have a alzheimer's and The Silver Chair was really a breeze to read. In any case, I took my little sister out to watch the movie last night, and, I have to say that I sort of am disappointed. Oh sure, she loved it, but we take her to the cinemas rarely enough that she loves every movie that she sees that comes with popcorn and a large soda. First of all, I loved Tilda. She was a wonderful White Witch. Her acting was great and I loved her wardrobe (no I'm not vain). She was everything and more that I envisioned the White Witch to be while reading the books. She was badass and sexy and androgynous. Point made, let's move on. Second of all, I also loved whoever played Edmund, because he has the emo-rebel thing down. I wonder if he'll grow up to be the lead singer in an indies emo band. They can write a song that goes something like: "The big talking lion loves my brother more." In all seriousness, though, Edmund has always been my favorite because he wasn't perfect (Jesus, who gets things right the first time nowadays anyway). The freckles boy did a great job in annoying everyone and making them all want to strangle him for being a cowardly shit. Good job, Edmund! Finally, the other kid actors were terrible. Well, not terrible, as I don't watch movies enough to be a good judge in acting, but, they were all so annoying. Now, the annoying thing works for Edmund boy because he's dark, short, and brooding. He's supposed to play like a broken record and piss everyone off. Everyone else has to make the audience fall in love with them and fear for their safety! I, on the other hand, wanted one of those birds to drop a rather large rock on all three of them. The special effects were great, yes, but nothing makes up for the lack of endearing qualities in the characters. No, not even large, simulated, talking lions. Oh and Tumus, your kidnapping skillz need work. Call me up and we'll work on refining your style. |

| Aw man. I really enjoyed reading the books and watching a local play...twas really good. Now I'm debating whether or not to see the film. XP I don't want to get disappointed. Yeah, the effects are nothing if the actors are nothing as well. |

| Firstly, thanks for the comment on my blog! I have to say that most people who just use patterns as layouts can't design for shit. But you;ve done a really good job with it, and I adore it! :) Kudos for that! So in short....don't go to see Chronicles of Narnia unless you've never read the books? Because I sure as hell haven't. Was Tilda Swinton in a terrible Leonardo diCapriio movie (although most are) called the Beach? Or am I too busy staring at the complexity of the fleur de lis that I have no idea what i'm talking about? In any case, your french is way better than mine. ;) |
