    Just a gentle note that the concepts relating to Tarzan and his books are trademarked even though he is PD.

    In fiction, you have to give child heroes some sort of superpowers so they are not defeated easily.

    Star Wars -- ONE thread for all Star Wars - ALL Star Wars here

    Nope. Kenobi and Vader did not face off between RotS & ANH. There's an interview with George during one of the Celebrations, I think 3, where he said "they haven't seen each other in almost twenty years..." but now I can't seem to find it even though it was available a couple weeks ago. Strange...

    children as protagonists of war fiction

    The picture was found on the website of an Historical Society. I looked for a WWII era flower girl and page boy to illustrate my point.

    children as protagonists of war fiction

    I see this increasingly and... i just shake my head in disbelief! No one should believe that a young child can lead a fearsome guerilla force but, in at least one acclaimed book, one of the leaders in a resistance group was about 10 or 11 (it was slightly vague). imagine Eisenhower or...

    classic/retro cartoons

    I always thought that there will be one exception to Scooby-Doo's cowardice - if Scooby saw someone hurting a child, he would intervene to save the child - he's a Great Dane and can just maul the person attacking the child.

    classic/retro cartoons

    Even in his old age in the 1980s, Mel Blanc could reproduce most of his voices well. His throat was just better on some days he was recording than others. The ones that gave him trouble by then were the "yelling" ones like Yosemite Sam and Foghorn Leghorn. Something similar is happening for The...

    What Are You Listening To Or Watching Now??!!

    Doctor Who’s “the Eleventh Hour”. watching it, I think Caitlin Blackwood would have made an intriguing Lucy Pevensie had the BBC done a Wardrobe TV adaption in 2010.

    Indeed. I have to admit RYAN RUMBAUGH's fate of having to play a girl on stage was funny.

    How Did C.S. Lewis Die?

    When I think of how JFK and RFK treated Marilyn Monroe like a blow up doll and not as a human woman worthy of respect, I only hope that Aslan showed both men just what it is like to be vulnerable, femininely exploited and terrified. For all that I disagree with Reg Dwight, he got it right with...

    CS Lewis and Enid Blyton

    I’m glad Beating a child for daring to not obey you is something no longer expected of parent. Child abuse is horrible. take what happened to Judith Eva Barsi.

    What Are You Listening To Or Watching Now??!!

    Found this on a page about the kids who acted in Les Miserables: WHAT THE KIDS SAID LACEY CHABERT (Broadway) "I loved it! I got to wear makeup and get a huge black eye every night and that was so fun. I also had a solo song." ~ Los Angeles Times, 1994 "I was understudy for a boy's part...

    CS Lewis and Enid Blyton

    For all he was flawed, as is any human, CS Lewis used Experiment House in the Silver Chair to state several decades before the rest of the world that bullying is NOT character development for the person being bullied. Compare with Blyton who uses her self-insert character in Malory Towers to...
