Also, not only would he have had conversations with his wife, but we are negelectinga key member of Jack's inner circle, Dorothy Sayers, the unofficial Inkling. By all accounts he valued her insight and input into his writing as much as that of Barfield, Dyson, Williams, or Tolkien. But given...

Yes....yes, it is a joke. Thank you all for humoring me.

I think it's worth mentioning as far as LOTR vs HP are concerned, that Tolkien was not writing a novel in the same sense that Rowling was. Based not only on his appendices but on my own reading of Keith Baines translation of Sir Thomas Mallory's Le Morte De Artur, it becomes abundantly clear to...

Thank you. And how right you are. Also, remember, Lewis himself provided shelter for evacuees during the air raids and undoubtedly saw many girls behaving not unlike Susan and Lucy wherein the elder sister assumed the matronly role over the younger at risk to her own development. Further, one...

I think it's worth mentioning a few things: first think back to LWW. Edmund, when in the thralls of the White Witch, is just as obsessed not only with his Turkish Delight and being a prince, but as he treks to her catsle alone he thinks of nothing but "trains, and bridges and cinemas". Those...

It’s been a few years since we’ve heard any news on the Netflix Narnia front, but due to the pandemic many properties and projects were shelved, delayed, or outright cancelled. Now, we have it on good authority that the Netflix is going full steam with first season of their TV series based on...

I can see it. Personally considering how they say "may he live forever" in reference to the Tisroc, I'd assume some level of influence on the Calormen culture came from either ancient Egypt or Babylon considering that was a common entreaty to the pharaoh of Egypt or the King of Babylon, or the...

You are correct! Honestly, Tash bares more of a resemblance to Horus, who had served as the God of War in some dynasties, and Shiva the Hindu god of destruction with the multiple arms. Considering Tash appears in The Last Battle, I doubt any resemblance is far from accidental.

Apparently one of the "in" phrases that young people use these days is "I can't even." This phrase bugs me for many reasons, among them is the fact that apparently they didn't bother to finish a complete sentence. Thus, I figured it would be fun to try and figure out just what these young...

I got lost of them! Back when I was a sophmore in college my best friend and I went to see Revenge of the Sith as Anakin and the Emperor. We walked around school dressed in our costumes. Since it was finals week I tried to do a Jedi Mind trick on the professor to get the calss out of finals...

So by now, we have all heard the news about the upcoming movie "The Lion Awakes." WHile it is not Narnia related, I thought it would be fun for fans to try and cast the rolls for this film. YEs, that means you can say who you'd like to see as CS Lewis, JRR Tolkien or any other important figure...

Yes, the day that films like The Matrix and Terminator warned us about has finally come. Your Expensive graphing caculator, your ebook reader and even your computer have turned against humanity and are out to rule the world. You just had to accept that Farmville request on Facebook that allowed...

All right, we've had our share of "who would win in a fight threads. It's time to pit the two greatest dwarves in an epic duel. In one corner we have Gimli son of Gloin.... in the other Trumpkin the Dear Little Friend. While I like them both, I got to cast my vote with Gimli. Namly as Trumpkin...

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...

We have lots of threads about what song we are listning too now or what your favorite song is... it's time for one devoted to Playlists! List your favorite playlist on your itunes, or MP3 player... One of my favorite play lists is called: From Narnia to Middle Earth the songs: Waiting for the...

My aunt had a very wise policy with her daughters regarding the new Narnia films. They could not see them untill theyy read the books. However only one of my three cousins has read them. One has said on no uncertain terms that she prefers to read Twilight and other books like that and would...

I wasn't sure where else to post this, so Mods feel free to move it if you think it works better in another location. Thanks1 Any rate, this past weekened my father and I attended Star Wars in Concert. A two hour orchestra cocnert featuring music from all six Star Wars films that told the whole...

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...

Seeing as "the kiss" in Prince Caspian is just as devisive as "Greedo shooting first" in the Star Wars Special editions, in the spirit of that debate it's time for... SUSAN KISSED FIRST! Lets face it there is some discord as to if Susan kissed Caspian first or the other way around. I just have...

I figured with all the heated tension on the forums( I'm not entering any thread at this point with out at least donning Iron Man's armor for protection..;) after the trailer I've figured it would be fun to start a nother "fun" thread on par with the silly ideas thread namely one on...
