Something particularily interesting to note in Hrose and His Boy is the notion of Narnia and the North. It has often been said that Shasta and Bree are traveling North to freedom from bondage. Appropriatly, two other great journies of freedom, the Exodus of the Hebrew from Egypt, and the...

Something interesting I noted about Voyage of the Dawn treader, was the ending point of the journey. Typically in such literature( such as The Odyessey, The Aineid, or the Voyage fo St. Brendan) the characters travel from East to West. Even in LOTR the Isles of the Blessed are located in the...

I've read complaints by some that it is a bad thing that the filmakers have chosen unknown ( or virtually unknown) actors and actresses to portray the characters in Narnia. Personally I think this is one of the things the filkmakers have done well at. Would any one have prefered to have say...

So Star Trek fans are called Trekkies, Lord of the Rings fans are called Ringnuts or Tolkienaphiles, fans of the DC comics ( Superman, Batman) charcters are called "Johnny DC" and Marvel Fans ( Spider-Man, X-Men, Hulk, Iron Man) are called "Marvel Zombies", so what is the collective name for us...

Ok, I know it's a long ways a way, and there is no gauarnteeing it will happen, but I figured for the sake of discussion, how about we discuss a certaina spect of the Last Battle. It has nothing to do with the end of the story or the batle istelf, but rather a tiny detail that may get some...

This thread is just for the fun of it, but let us say you could cast any actor, living or dead in an unoccupied role in the Narnia films, who would you cast and in what role and why. Seeing as we have five Narnian Chronicles left to see as film there is plenty of room to play around with...

Already on this forum there are numerous threads discussing the allegorical aspecst of Narnia. But Lewis was a Litererature PRofessor as well, and loved mythology, literature, and just stories in general. What other parallels to other works of literature, and mythology can you find in the chonicles?

Now bare with me a moment. One thing I loved in the film version of Return of the King is that they managed to work Tolkien's discription of Frodo sailing away into the dialogue as Gandalf said to Pippin, " They grey rain curtian of this world passes away and all turns to silver glass. And then...

I saw this over on the OneRing.net ( I'm sure many of you did too.) http://www.thebookseller.com/news/73781-page.html

TV spots of the DVD versus the theatrical release Does any one else think they are advertizing PC on DVD better then they did for it's run in theaters? I'm not just talking about the number of TV spots, but the content of their adds. In the summer they were aiming more for the "5,000...

I decided I'd start a thread here for another book by Tolkien, that isn't LOTR or the Hobbit. Any rate has any one here read hsi Father Christmas letters? It's a really neat collection of letters from "Father Christmas" that Tolkien wrote to his children. It's amazing to read as you can even...

Ok, so roamnce novels about Vampires are really popular so how long before some writer/publisher tries to recapture lightening in a bottle and take another horror film staple and give it a fanatsy romance novel.... Zombies! ( Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride with standing.) Just...

Ths may be something that gets borderline philosophic and it does the mods can move it. Any rate I work at a movie store and when a good number of the young angst ridden teens come in one of he most common thing they look for is "Joker merchandise" If they are even shown Batman they go" No, I...

Allow me to start with this disclaimer. I enjoyed PC. Not as much as LWW, but my reasonings for that are the same as with the books. LWW is a far more magical story then PC both as a book and film. I felt that Adamson was the right man to launch the franchise. His work with Shrek convicned me...

OK, this one may be a long way off , and it is hard to say what will happen with the franchise. But after all we are fans adn aprt of the run of fandom is casting actors we'd like to see in the movies as our favorite characters. So here it is. Discuss who we would want to play Polly and DIggory...

OK, so I work a retail job at a video store. Now, as it's summer, it means the hours are long and boring asno one is really coming in to buy anuytyhing 9 that and the economy is bad) so once product is out and out and organized there's not much to do but watch movies. One of the ones we are...

Authors Note: This story is something I was inspried to write a while back as kind of a League of Extrodinary Gentlemen style story, with out all the graphic sex and nudity that Allan Moore is known for. Basically some classic fantasy and sci-fi characters team up to save the world from a great...

Authors Note: This story is something I was inspired to write a while back as kind of a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen style story, with out all the explicit material that Allan Moore is known for. I thought he had a great idea, I just felt much of it was tarnished. Also unlike him characters...

Something I was wondering, providing they get that far in the series, is teh rating of the Last Battle. That one would be the most intense in the series. You have all your characters (save Susan) dying obviously, durring the battle Jewel the unicorn is killed, Eustace, Jill and Tirian are...

Yes, first there was Chuck Norris facts. Then some one picked up on it, modified it and made it Yoda facts. It was only a matter of time before the main man...er.. mouse Reepicheep, to get his share. Dont' be afraid to add your own but keep 'em clean. Fact 1: Reepicheep destroyed the periodic...
