I actually had a hair dresser that told me that my hair is "dark-blonde". I considered myself a "brunette", though I guess you could say I'm a dirty blonde.

Oh yes. Though I'm sure that some others here on the forum would have some ideas. I understand that some things in the books would have to require changes to make it work for a new medium. I would like Emeth's meeting with Aslan to be 100% from the book, though it may not happen that way. They...

Frollo was actually a priest in the original Victor Hugo novel. Disney changed his position to judge for a couple of reasons: 1. They want to give him more power in the city of Paris, passing judgment on gypsies and such. 2. They didn't want to offend the religious by having one of their most...

Happy Birthday!

I know that a villains movie or backstory has been popular in the Hollywood industry lately. Though I can't see any of the Narnia villains getting their own movies. Though you could think of their backstories just for the sake of speculation. Here's a random thought- Rishda turning to his...

Digory's mother is named Mabel, but his father is not named. He doesn't really make an appearance since he's away in India. Polly's parents aren't even mentioned (other than that she mentioned that they sent her to bed without dinner). And yes, Walden named Mrs. Pevensies "Helen" because it was...

A movie or series could decide to name the White Witch's dwarf again, like Walden did. I'm not sure if there's any that I could think of, since it probably won't be "Ginnabrik" again. On second thought about Emeth's six brothers, a movie or series might do something with them, even just a brief...

More like for Bree's wife.

Right. I've actually thought of "Seren" for her (it's Welsh for "Star"). Right. I'm not sure if there's any other horsey sound names that I could think of, though. Right. The only female Telmarines named are Prunaprismia and Gwendolen. So the nurse would have to have a Telmarine sounding name...

There are quite a few characters in the books that are not named. Though it shouldn't surprise us that a movie or series adaptation would want to give some of these unnamed characters. Here's some that I could think of from each book- MN- Possibly Mavis for Jadis's sister and Albert or Paul for...

I think that this issue of racism when it comes to the Calormenes has been going on for years.

It doesn't bother me. Though I could see it would bother some people. The series were written for their time.

My favorite scene in the series is where Emeth meets with Aslan. While it may not be 100% from the book, it is my hope a movie or series gets it a right. The thing is not to make it epic, like a big helicopter shot. It should be more like a documentary, where we see a close up shot of Emeth...

Oh no! I'm not sure how I would feel about that! It's no wonder Hollywood tends to have anti-heroes these days.

Susan turned down Rabadash not because he was a Calormene; it was that he was a "cruel, luxurious, and self-pleasing tyrant", let alone that he eats garlic and onions. "Yet when he was with us in Narnia, truly this Prince bore himself in another fashion than he does now in Tashbaan. For I take...

[An eighth chapter. Hope you enjoy] Chapter Eight *** Rishda and his soldiers were searching through Chippingford for wherever Marietta had gone to. Soon they came to the home of a Narnian merchant. "Do you know the whereabouts of the tavern maid, Marietta?" asked Rishda, "Do you know...

This may sound random, but there's an implication that Calormenes smell of garlic and onion. Some might find the line a big offensive. There's been debate about that the depiction of the Calormenes was racist. Well, when I read the series as a ten year old, I actually didn't really think about...

The aspects of Calormenes in Narnia has not been the only issue. My all time favorite Shakespeare play is Othello: The Moor of Venice, and there's been debate if his depiction is racist. Well, I don't think we can know for sure what William Shakespeare's intentions were for Othello. Some might...
