    It Has Been Great Fun

    I love fatuous answers. Like starting a story, "Once upon a time, matter met antimatter. Once."

    The four BBC Narnia films.

    True, true, about knighthood. But that's where you have to understand the British system of honours. There are several ranks of knight within an order just as there are in the military. And to be a Companion of the Order of the British Empire is like being told, "Gee, that's a pretty song you...

    It Has Been Great Fun

    It's like the old joke...What did Paul Revere say at the end of his famous ride? Whoa.....

    The four BBC Narnia films.

    What I'm SAYING is that AS A WHOLE acting is considered a middle class profession. Americans are the folks who pay their American Football players vastly, vastly more than they pay brain surgeons, Nobel Prize winning chemists, or their President. Same for their actors. And no, I didn't think...

    Mary Poppins and the Pirates.

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

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

    Mary Poppins and the Pirates.

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

    Krazy Krossovers (Do You Dare?)

    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...

    It Has Been Great Fun

    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." ;-)

    Do you think Susan ever made it to Aslan's Country?

    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...

    It Has Been Great Fun

    "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...

    It Has Been Great Fun

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

    Dying A Desperate Death

    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...

    Book Fan? Or Movie Fan? Or both?

    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.

    Which order do you think the books should be read in?

    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...

    Which order do you think the books should be read in?

    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.

    Book Fan? Or Movie Fan? Or both?

    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...
