MERGED thread on Comments re: TV spots, trailers & publicity stills

I agree, AK. But since the other characters look goofy on the poster but not in the trailer, I have hope that the dragon who looks silly on the poster will still look good in the actual film.
 
That could be St Elmo's Fire or it could be something to do with Lili or something else completely. On Nightmare Iland, it showed Jadis appearing with a green smoke, so that should not have anything to do with her.

As for Edmund having Rhindon, why not? Caspian had his sword and if Caspian was mature, he would allow Edmund to use his brother's sword.

People are not "overreacting," they are just commenting on what they see. For real! Give it a rest already. Quit trying to be a peace-keeping diplomat. I'm sorry...but can we not comment on a weird thing...a weird thing such as a blue sword glowing in Narnia...without "overreacting." Now I'm overreacting. I wasn't before but I am now! Dumb blue sword.

You know, I remember looking at one of the chidlren's book adaptations for LWW when it first came out . I saw the picture of Peter and Edmund praticing their sword skills and the blades looked blue and green. I thought it meant they glwoed or something. Then I saw the film and they didn't glow. It turns out... it was just the reflection on the blades.

That does make sense. After all Caspian will have his own sword. Unelss Caspian holds Rhindon close in the movie and says ," No. It's mine....I will call it Squishy."

Gee whiz; I'll just keep my mouth shut from now on. :mad:

Somebody said it might have something to do with Lilliandil. I think that's a pretty good idea. Besides, if it is reflection, it's awfully bright....I mean, for reflections, that is. Makes me curious to find out though. Maybe it's something that Aslan does to wake Edmund out of his dream?

Comenting on what they see... yes, that's what it is.

There's actually a long story behind that sword glowing blue. It was told to me by this weird hermit I found once when I got lost in the Sierra Nevada. I think it was around my 4th day without water and food. When I was about to collapse and die (*gasp*) this old hermit suddenly appeared out of nowhere. While he nursed me back to life, he told me the story of Rhindon. Of course at that time I didn't believe him because there was no evidence to back up his tale. This is what he told me:
"Rhindon, really," he said," was purchased by Father Christmas one day when he went to visit his weird cousin April Fool who lived in Middle Earth. While on his way to April's, he happened to bump into an even weirder character who called his self a 'rain gear' or something like that."

"Well," continued the hermit, "this rain gear dude was very drunk but it appeared that the effects of the alcohol were already dissipating. The rain gear didn't know what would happen to him if he suddenly found his self sober, so he was peddling this sword for a good bottle of ale. I think he would have sold it even for a tin cup of moonshine any day."

"Anyway, to make a story short, FC (will now stand for Father Christmas, not Football Club, ok?), when he found out that the sword was made by wood elves, he bought it from Rain Gear for an entire truck of Archenlander Ale that he pulled out of his bag."

"After his visit with April Fool, FC returned to Narnia and really forgot about the sword because, even though it was winter in Narnia, it was never Christmas, you see? Since he had no way to give out presents, he just put it in the bag and didn't think about it for a long time."

And here, the hermit lowered his voice as if he was afraid that someone was eavesdropping: "It just so happens," he said, "that he wasn't really supposed to give the sword to Peter, but since he had forgotten about it, and it was Peter's turn to get a present, he pulled the sword by mistake. Peter of course saw the sword immediately so FC could not put it back in the bag to exchange it for a toy without looking like a fool so he had to give it to Peter."

Now what does this have to do with the sword glowing blue IN NARNIA you ask?

Well, hold on to your seat because here is the second part of that crazy hermit's tale.

He got up and began to pace the room (remember, I was still in a daze and I can't recall if it was due to weakness or the hermit's BO). He continued speaking, absentmindedly as if he was talking to himself.

"They said," he said without explaining who "they" were, "that there was a tribe of Orcs from Middle Earth, who had been banished from every Orc controlled land because they insisted on calling themselves "The Happy Orkies." Apparently, this Orc tribe were the mythical (TDL's local myth) Half Dwarf-Half Orcs, otherwise known as "Dorks." Anyway, they met FC when he was on his way back to Narnia. These Happy Orkies followed him back to Narnia. They said," he said again, "that FC helped them settle down in an Island Owned by his other weird cousin, a magician dude."
Anyway people. I had almost forgotten that story until now. Now that I see the picture of Rhindon glowing blue, I can tell you that I know for sure that Dufflepuds are nearby!!!

Sorry if I gave anything away. I did not reveal any details about how this will be used in the film. This is a spoiler related thread and I just wanted to stop any rumors that might give people the wrong idea about the film.

I don't care if you write spoilers. But I think it's forum policy (and this is a subject especially sensitive to Paul, our admin) not to write leaked stuff that has not been made released publicly by Walden Media or Fox. The forum may get in trouble for releasing unofficial stuff, assuming, of course, that what you're saying is true.

Anyway, I'm moving the real story of the magic sword to this page!!!!

I have now seen the film. This is not really a big deal. It is Peter's sword. This scene is part of a climactic ending to a battle scene where the evil is defeated. Don't overreact to this. It is not a problem.

That's not really a BIG spoiler, but it is still a spoiler. ;) I kinda wondered if it had something to do with a battle....don't reveal any more! I want to be sort of surprised when I go to the theater! :p
 
Well, the boy (or girl) is now saying not to over react. I say he/She shouldn't have started the thread in the first place if he (or she) didn't want reactions or over reactions. And to come here and write spoilers like that without warning is mean and condescending.

I think it's being blown out of proportion. If people don't want spoilers of any kind, then they probably shouldn't be in the movie subforums. I don't think anybody should be blamed for something that was unintentional. Besides, almost everybody on this forum knows that there's a big battle at the end of the movie anyway!
