    Narnia movie

    This seems to be the "hot thing" recently and i'm wonderig if anyone has seen it? I remember seeing it on TV when I was little and it was pretty cool but I couldn't understand everything that happened really.

    PS. The should have given Aslan some genitals.
    It's candy. Surely there are more important things the NAACP could be boycotting. If the candy were shaped like a burning cross or a black man made of regular chocolate being dragged behind a truck made of white chocolate I could understand the outrage and would share it. - Drosedars

        The 70s BBC version left something to be desired.

        I'm looking forward to the movie, although I'm guessing Disney will screw it up, considering that everything Disney has touched lately turned to ****.
        I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

          I like this article from the Phila. Inquirer:

          Basically, Disney is bribing Pastors to include Narnia in their sermons on Sunday.

          Hyping 'Narnia' to Christians

          Disney aims at Harry Potter crowd and the devout.

          By David O'Reilly

          Inquirer Staff Writer


          Attention, pastors: You have just four weeks remaining to work a lion, a witch or a wardrobe into your next sermon.

          Walt Disney Pictures is so eager for churches to turn out audiences for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, which opens Friday, that it's offering a free trip to London - and $1,000 cash - to the winner of its big promotional sermon contest.

          The only catch is that the sermons must mention Narnia, based on the hugely popular children's books about four British children who walk through an uncle's magic armoire into an enchanted kingdom.

          Sermo-mercials are just one of the ways promoters hired by Disney and its production partner, Walden Media, are peddling Lion as a kind of Christian-themed Harry Potter.

            Disney is commercializing Christianity. As a Christian, I find that very disturbing.
            'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

                Eh, you know what they say...

                It took the Jews to make Christianity into a Movement...

                It took the Greeks to turn it into a Philosophy...

                It took the Romans to turn it into a State...

                It took the Europeans to turn it into a Civilization...

                And it took the Americans to turn it into a Big Business, thereby allowing the money-changers back in the Temple.

                    Ebert and Roeper gave it thumbs up, and everything I have heard so far has been positive about the movie staying true to the story and the story's themes.

                    My impression is that Disney/Walden took a 'LOTR' approach to the film, which will mean I will probably love it.

                    I'll see it this weekend.

                        yeah, like so what's up with Aslan's balls?

                        Did the 'Emperor Over the Sea' get him fixed or what?

                        I wonder what the Narnia equivalent of Jews are...

                        Oh, I loved Narnia, especially in Prince Caspian when there is a real harcore bacchanialian revel led by Pan and a bunch of Maenads and it upsets the prissy Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve...

                          Read an article in German today which didn't sound sooo bad, it also said the Christian aspect does not play such a big role in the movie, more general mythological things.....
