My insecurity and paranoia make me a very overreactive person. I can't help it. It's an issue stemming from childhood. I make you out to be the bad person because I need someone to rescue me. Won't you rescue me today?
unfortunately not today. i'm too busy getting ready to flee the country...
maybe you should just work on those deep-seeded emotional issues stemming from childhood so i don't have to deal with the melodramatic bullshit anymore :)
if you like cs lewis..did you see the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe? what did you think? i really liked it and i've read that book countless times.
i own all the chronicles and have read them countless times as well, but i was SUPER disappointed with the new movie.
granted, it was pretty to look at, and fairly entertaining (i'm sure) to everyone who isn't super familiar with the story.
aslan's voice/personality/charisma was week. the battles weren't gory enough (not like in the books, and i'm really fucking sick of disney toning things down by ruining the intensity of a story to make a film 'child appropriate.') and jadis was nowhere near as icey/beautiful/evil as she needed to be. the whole deal with the stone table was different. the children were horribly cast. lucy was sensual, almost sexual at several points, which is wrong and just plain annoying out of a six year old. there were also a lot of small missing things, like flowers appearing every time aslan touched the ground after resurrecting.
basically, i like the 1988 UK made for TV version better, and feel that given the budget used for this particular project, they should have done somehting way cooler, or left it

i'm rereading the books and the battles are hardly mentioned at all. i don't know. i quite liked it and i'm very familiar with the books. i don't know. i also really liked the uk versions when i was a kid.
