The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
snalin:
So what if there's references to the bible in the Narnia books?
It's not good damned preaching. Lewis just used the fairy tale he knew best to get inspiration. I mean, if you rewrote the bible to a novel, it would be HELL GOOD. Seriously. I've read the story of Kain and Abel as a novel, and it ruled.
I guess this is what Lewis wanted to do, take the rather good biblical elements and integrate it into fantasy.
Surgoshan:
Yeah, East of Eden was really good.
A whole lot of the Bible wouldn't make very good literature. It would make horrific literature you would want to use as an indicator of a deranged, criminal mind if someone enjoyed reading it. That's a different issue, though.

I thought the movie was okay, but I missed a fucking Red Sox no hitter for it.
Fucking balls.
squawk:
I really liked this movie! Also Edmund got hot.

My big issue with the movie was that it absolutely and entirely did not stand on its own. I saw the first one once and that was when it first came out on DVD. I've never read the books either, as noted previously.
That said, half the time I didn't know what the ever loving fuck was going on. All I could really remember was that the first one had four kids, there was some ice lady and the Lion died and came back on that slab thing that appeared to be broken. The movie didn't seem to make a point to explain any of this shit either. It was pretty and all, but the more I think back on it, the more I have to admit that I think it was pretty bad.
Meanwhile, Rachel hated it due to apparently constant inaccuracies to the books. If you can't make your movie faithful to a 200 page fucking book enough to please the core audience and simultaneously make it impenetrable to people who aren't familiar with it, you've fucked up your movie. I wanted to like it, I really did. When it comes out on DVD, I'll rent the first one and this one and watch them together to see it it's enjoyable, but as it stands, it definitely failed as a stand alone movie.
