    The Last Battle vs. Other Works of "Apocalyptic Fiction"

    When I was a child I was scared to death to hear about the end of the world. You see, up untill third grade the subject had not been mentioned in the church my family attended. Then we we changed churches and one month the pastor did a series on the end of the age, and the Olivet Discourse...

    Historical Figures and other celebrities for President

    Since we've had a thread devoted to fictional cahracters for president once upon a time, I thought it would be fun to start one dealing with real historical figures ( barring ones who were already President of the USA, I mean George Washingyon, Thomas Jefferson and Abe Lincoln for President...

    Thoughts on the teaser poster

    Well, the first teaser poster is on-line! Yeah! So what do you all think of it. Yes it's simple. The best teaser posters tend to be. ( look at the teasers for LOTR.) The tag-lines are perfect. The Aslan image is powerful, and I love the siloute of the ship in his eye. Any other thoughts?

    The Public Schoolers.

    I get the funny feeling on this forum that I'm the only one who attended public school. It isn't my fault. My parents did not have the funds to send me to a private school nor the resoruces ( or time ) to homeschool me ( which would have been detrimental. I was socially awkward and sheltering me...

    Odd names for companies

    SO I was up at the mall the other day and I saw in a jewelry store an add for "Pandora Jewels". It struck me as an odd choice for jewlery. Pandora in Greek mythology was given a box and told never to open it, however the gods gave her curiosity and she disobeyed them, and that unelashed all the...

    VoDT in 3-D?

    No, it hasn't been announced that this will happen yet. However many in this thread have brought it up so I figured it should be discussed on its own. For me at least, I hope VODT is not in 3-D. Yes, Pandora in Avatar and Wonderland in the new Alice in Wonderland movie were amazing... but they...

    Why Lucy?

    Don't get me wrong, I love the character of Lucy. She's probably become my most favorite character in the chronicles. Yet at the same time, I have to wonder why would CS Lewis choose Lucy, the youngest of the Pevensie children and a girl, to be the first one to enter Narnia? Wouldn't it be...

    The Ending

    It has been pointed out in other threads on this forum that, if Silver Chair becomes a film we may not see the ending, Aslan dispatching Eusatce, Caspian and Jill into the school and giving the bullies the beating they have deserved. Now, I have read some essays, even by Christiasn denouncing...

    Was Peter too "perfect"?

    One of the biggest justifications for the change made to Peter's chartacer in the film Prince Caspian was that he was too "perfect" and therefore unrelatable. Contrary to this opinion, Devin Brown points out in the book Inside Prince Caspian that he does have a flaw, namely his doubts and that...
