Thanks so much.

Pack Mules scare me. They run in packs and he-haw at the full moon.

No. (And Lynyrd Skynyrd once said that too!)

A VERY nice pirate. "Pardon me good sir, but thou'rt standing where I want to slay someone...."

LWW and the old TV Series MISSION IMPOSSIBLE. After going through the secret agent pile, the chief sees photos of the four Pevensies. After calling them in, he plays a tape. "Your job...should you choose to accept it...find and neutralize the White Witch who is trying to dominate the world...

I go with the old Mae West joke. When people ask me if I'm free this afternoon, I say, "I'm not free...but I'm reasonable." ;-)

I have something that might make you stop and think. Three of the Pevensies stayed loyal to Aslan and they learned his other name in our world. What exactly did Susan do that was worse than lipstick and nylons? I'll tell you, and it's lurking right there in The Horse and His Boy. She was ready...

"Gainfully Employed" is but one form of employment. In addition to what I do for The Dancing Lawn, including producing three 2-hour audio dramas for NFC, I am a National Advisor to the Spiritual Emphasis Working Committee at Trail Life USA, Regional Chaplain Advisor, Area Chaplain Advisor...

As a retiree I have more free time and can be more generous with things requiring my attention. And I appreciate your good words.

OOO TTT TTT EEE RRR

SSSS PPPP OOOO OOOO FFFF

Couldn't agree with you more! I think it's part of the deconstructionist myth that there is no happily ever after, just breathing room. You see that in the later Star Wars movies that speak of "balance" between the light and dark sides of the force because for all of forever they're both hanging...

That's just what we need...movies made by people that don't agree with the source material. Kind of like making Close Encounters of the Third Kind but changing the ending so aliens don't really exist and everything odd has another explanation.

People who read the Hebrew and Arabic translations read the books in the complete opposite order....from right to left, back to front. ;-) Seriously, one of the oddest things I ever saw was a college friend of mine from Jordan who had the translation of our current Inorganic Chemistry textbook...

Reading any other book than maybe The Magician's Nephew before LWW is something that only looks feasable to you because you already know the backstory. For someone who was, like, "What the heck is Narnia??" it would be different.

As someone who adapted material for performance, I agree. But changing for a medium and changing for a culture are not the same thing. An excellent example is the animated Peter Pan produced by Disney. He said it was the way Barrie would have written his play had he possessed the capabilities of...

Maybe I've been on this side of the pond too long....

I love the books. I like the movies. I am offput by the way the movies try to appeal to "modern"...(aka less spiritual)...audiences in areas such as Aslan's resurrection. I utterly dislike giving characters "depth" by giving them weaknesses or bad habits the author did not intend. And I hated...

No, nope, absolutely not, and probably not recommended. A lot of the books rely on setups from earlier works.

"Something of a star" is more of an American thing. In the UK, acting is considered a middle class profession like a computer programmer or a doctor. And even in America most child actors grow up to become real estate salesmen or organic farmers.
