The other day I came across a Mr. Monk movie that came out last year. I saw someone posted on here about Monk a while back. For those who enjoyed the Monk series about the OCD detective that ran from 2002-2009, this movie was great and refreshing! The first few minutes are a little slow, but...

So #61 has been solved then, right? One duchess and three dukes. I'll try #68. Uncle Andrew had to pawn his watch and chain in order to entertain Jadis to (a) the exceedingly expensive and ostentatious lunch that she demanded. Although Bree, Hwin, Shasta and Aravis raided some farms before they...

I've only been watching two series these days. Blue Bloods is in its 14th and final season, but it is being spread out with some episodes in the Spring and the rest in the Fall. I saw all of Season 4 of The Chosen in theaters; unfortunately, it will be a while before it is released on DVD or...

Sir Godfrey, I love how the weather you experienced timely reflected the mystery and glory of Christ's Passion, Death and Resurrection. What a remarkable consolation of God's presence. I was bummed I had to miss Holy Thursday and Good Friday services this year and didn't think I'd have energy...

And back on #64: #64. (tricky) (a) Aravis (b) Liln (c) Jadis (d) Polly I found a connection with Aravis and "lady." After Aravis and Hwin cross paths with Shasta and Bree (for the first time), Aravis tells them her story. When recollecting about how she evaded her marriage to Ahoshta, she...

Sweet! Score one for #61! :cool: I'm still thinking about Aravis in #64. (If anybody else knows, please feel free to steal my thunder!) Meanwhile, let us remember to look at #66: #66. (medium) (a) not shutting oneself in a wardrobe (b) the cleaning of a sword (c) the spelling of abhominable...

A couple of days ago, I started an anti-inflammatory diet. How fortunate I am to have access to a wide variety of nourishing foods, herbs and spices. I am finding this diet helpful. I actually have a sinus infection right now, presumably from allergens. I am also rather woozy and fatigued at...

"Duke of Galma" popped into my mind. I love how I still know right where to look, when something very Narnian does finally pop into mind. On Board the Dawn Treader, Drinian recounts the tournament at Galma, one of the closer islands visited before the Pevensies joined the ship. The duke wanted...

Astronomy has always fascinated me, so last year I purchased a telescope. I started reading about interesting planet sightings and busted out the binoculars. I quickly became hungry for more. I eventually bought a $30 telescope online, that took me forever just to find a bright object in. It was...

Dukes and Duchesses! (does that not sound like something Trumpkin might say?!) In #61 (d) Lord Bern was made Duke of the Lone Islands. Choice (a) could then refer to the unnamed duchess (the other remaining mortal with fairy blood was simply a charwoman, which I just learned is an English word...

I've been really nostalgic for this community lately. You all are so much fun and encouraging. This thread of yours is one of my favorites, Peeps. I'm really glad how you've kept it going over the years. It looks like there are several puzzles still needing solved, so I'll have a go at a couple...

Three of the five of us got together again to see The Chosen Season 4, this time Episodes 4-6 last Saturday (logistically the other two guys needed to go at other times). Four of us are going together again this Saturday, as the final two episodes are now playing. Here's a recap of how well the...

Okay, now I see MrBob, and thank you for acknowledging my post. Yeah...I think we do see some things different. I know for one thing that what I want is for as many little details that are in the book to be included onscreen. Now, sure, that could take different forms. I DEFINITELY think that...

MrBob, that's exactly how I "picture" the picture in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader! It sounds like we visualize the same thing we read the text. I would like to see at least a few shots of most of the picture frame, not showing them shrinking, but showing them a gradually smaller and more...

I am in a The Silver Chair frame of mind right now, so I've begun re-reading it, and am just barely in the second chapter. There is so much to work with with The Silver Chair for an opening sequence, and there are so many ways they could go about this. Here are some of my ideas. They could...

I went to the theater with four friends Saturday, to see the first of three parts of Season 4 of The Chosen (Season 4 Episodes 1,2 and 3 combined into one showing with one intermission). I was disappointed how few people were there (about a third of the seats were filled). It was a 3pm Saturday...

A few years ago, a priest friend of mine introduced me to "The Angel Gabriel." While it does have a distinctly Advent feel, because of the fourth verse it also continues well as a Christmas song. To date this is my favorite version. The stage and lighting transport me to Bethlehem, and the...

It's weird to me that I don't necessarily have a favorite, although there's some I'll watch every few years like "Home Alone." This year my mom, a friend and I watched "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year," a 2008 Hallmark that was light on the romance and heavy on the humor. My friend who...

I like your ideas and predictions. I guess ideally I'd like to see the adaptations in publishing or chronological order, although I don't have any qualms on some tweaking on that. In fact, when I read the books the first time through, it wasn't in either order. As I wasn't much of a reader...

That comparison of Adamson's Peter to Shrek is on point. It's sad but true. I don't see the line in and of itself as racist. Some people have lighter skin, some have darker skin. If a viewer were to take issue with it, isn't that a reflection of their own outlook? I agree that lines like this...
