I love all of your quotes Arielle! This is one of my great favorites from the time I was a kid. And all through my long life. I've found it to be true. :)

I agree with you that those scenes are reminiscent of other "burn it down" sort of cleansings in CSL books and Tolkien ... but it seemed out of place here, because nothing we learned about Narnia under the Telmarines in the whole course of the book suggested that school was a like a prison and...

Specter's analysis is so good, changing the actors/genders and seeing how it comes across just as lovely in the "saving what we love" scene, so I won't add to that. What I will do, out of old habits of relating everything to Jesus (hey, Apostle Paul did it, so I am following in his footsteps...

What a great observation, Arielle! Although Edmund wasn't there for Christmas gifts, he received the greatest gift. Well said!

I agree with a lot of the things you say you like, Peeps, particularly that focus on honor and doing your part. St. Francis said something to the effect, "I have done what is mine to do, may Christ teach you what is yours." And I love Lucy's reunion with Aslan in PC and what she learns, that she...

I agree with a lot of your points, Peep! I think the Miraz storyline is very fascinating and adds a great dimension to the movie; I noticed that as I was watching the other day. He's a good villain in the film. It's true Hayden Christiansen did some bad acting -- but he was so cute! I remember...

Thanks Specter for the very astute response to all the charges leveled at all the female heroes! I love Moana so much -- and I never read it as any kind of feminist manifesto. She's just the one who gets the call, and she doesn't triumph over any evil men trying to hold her back ... I am a...

Belated welcome! I don't get here as often as I would like, but I would be happy to see more new posts and new members!

OMG I totally forgot about Rose and her "saving what we love" speech when, in fact, it was one of the highlights of the film for me! I did NOT see that as girl power or feminine superiority at all but as deep, spiritual truth! She is a stand-out character, not cuz she's female, but because she...

Aw, thank you for taking care of Hope the Cat. She sounds lovely. I am praying she, and Ardis, will be OK.

I agree it is very sad! Which part didn't you understand?

I rewatched Prince Caspian this weekend, as I had been listening to the audiobook and had a hankering to see the film. I honestly don't remember what I thought of it when I saw it in cinema, except I remember saying that it was a good adventure film, but not a good Narnia film. basically for the...

Aww CF it's too bad those comics didn't survive! They sound awesome! I loved Jurassic Park when it came out in cinemas back whenever it was, 100 years ago. I feel like it was the first movie I saw that had surround sound or Dolby or whatever it was -- the sounds seemed to be coming from all...

I fear you may have to rely on fan fics; I don't think Lewis' estate will allow anyone to write new books with the characters. Comic books are another matter, but they would be the same stories we already have, if they were made.

I tend to agree with this. I like that, it helps place HHB in the publication order, which I like. I suppose we are all partial to the order in which we originally read them and always think of them in that order. Now here's a heck of a note. After the pandemic lockdowns and troubles began, I...
