and so... the sequel to the lion, the witch and the wardrobe is hitting the screens. quite honest, i never really finished watching the first. we were en route to oklahoma and i swapped channels between the sound of music and narnia. let's just say that opposed to valium, they make pretty good lullabies sending you off to dreamland.

the one thing that gets to me is how almost all the kids are almost useless save for maybe the eldest brother and the sister with the bow. the other two are just... calafare? like, prove to me that they're worth something and the great big lion didn't bestow upon them souvenirs of their time in narnia. epic movie, not that it was brilliantly epic but rather wasted an hour or so of my life, pretty much summed up the whole show, in a more brain-damaging manner.

also, couldn't they have prettier children? okok i'm horrible. but really... british child actors as of late (barring radcliffe, watson and grint although they're no longer child actors...) aren't that easy on the eyes. alas the woes of puberty.

i loaned my book to someone else, even the written text seemed a lot more interesting than the movie. i'm hoping caspian will shake off the skeptic veil over my eyes. or at least the directing and the acting. the trailer looks pretty promising. so please dear nuffnang, help me enjoy the simpler aspects of fantasy instead of dissecting it into a teeny tiny million pieces and ruining the magical surrealism it would have otherwise offered oh-so-many others!
