Concur.

So does yours.

Oooh. Damn ye and your midnightness. ::waaaants::

I will not rest until I've seen this film.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

At one point the Witch has TWO SWORDS and it is FREAKING AWESOME. And she PWNS EDMUND.

[hulamoth.livejournal.com]

Yes, and she was a hottie. Much hotter than Queen Susan "the fair". Was it really "the Gentle" as they said in the film? I so recalled "the fair" as her epithet.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it was "the Gentle."

[trixasaurus.livejournal.com]

SO. GOOD.

Omgsojellus! I don't think I'll be able to see it until next week which makes me sad...the *one* movie I don't get to catch on opening day. *le sigh*

[newsong.livejournal.com]

I'ma gonna go see it tomorrow at 3, the first offical day-showing. *grin* YAY!!

[trede.livejournal.com]

Totally unrelated, but...

AustralianMaleSQUEEEEEEEEE! I GOT YOUR BOOK TODAY!

Oh. My. God. I had no idea it was hardback. That was the first of the many delights to come. I haven't finished reading it yet [*ashamed*] but that'll happen soon.

I love it. I love it so much. It was the perfect early birthday present (I should mention here that we share a birthday (yay next Wednesday)) :D

I need to send away pronto for a bookplate. *hugs, happy.*

Um... *wild rabbit-in-headlight eyes, runs away.*

Red? Really? I wouldn't have thunk it, for some reason.

That's just not how she looks in my head...

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Well, apparently they used Georgie Henley's older sister, so I guess they had to go with whatever she looked like. It was more of a chestnut red-brown, not a flaming red, though.

Snow sets the mood... :-)

[cleojones.livejournal.com]

Well, I'll be able to check it today, thanks to the snow!

[eruvadhril.livejournal.com]

Dude.
BRAIN: But, she was blonde in the book...
SILENCE, BRAIN!

[scornedsaint.livejournal.com]

Damn you and your midnight screening and the fact that my sister's making me wait until Christmas to see it at the Montgomery Rave with her!

(so it really was "omgsogood"? I heard the sfx were amazing)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Aslan and the beavers were really, really good. They didn't do the part where Aslan romps around after the Stone Table, which I was actually kind of glad of, because there's just no way to do that in a movie and not have it be ridiculous. And the effects would have been first-movie-quidditch levels of bad.

[kira002.livejournal.com]

You big tease!

Tonight: Syriana and Sid goodness.

Tomorrow: Narnia and C.S. Lewis goodness.

Sunday: Poirot: Cards on the Table on A&E with more Sid goodness. Also, the Survivor finale.

Obviously this weekend = couch potato.

[scolixa.livejournal.com]

Dude, my cousin was an editor for Syriana. Go see it and love it and spread it around to all of your friends.

[falco-conlon.livejournal.com]

IT WAS GOOD?! OMG GOOD! AARGGG I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SUUUNNDDAAAYYYYYUUUURRRGGGGG!

[mysticowl.livejournal.com]

*cries* Still haven't seen it. I'm flying down to VA Beach in... six hours, I get off the plane at 10pm and we're driving straight to th 10:40 showing. Because I'll be damned if I'm going to wake up on Saturday still not having seen it!

[drpeprfan.livejournal.com]

She did have red hair! Maybe that last picture was showing Peter's hair or something...ok, so I think I died from too much "awwww"ing at Lucy, now deemed the cutest kid EVER to walk the planet (when she hugged Prof. Kirk...awww)
I think it would be appropriate to say that I was blown away. (holycrudhowcouldtheymakeamoviethatawesome? Edmund SHUT the wardrobe! You don't know how happy that made me...he leaves it open in the BBC one)

Jadis = kickarse White Witch (she had *two* swords!). They did SUCH a fantastic job on her.

I could probably rave forever about this, but I don't want to spoil things for people. One last comment and I'll stop - so when the kids were running away from the "White Witch" in the sleigh and went for cover under that snow bank, didn't you have a Fellowship of the Rings flashback? http://www.canoe.ca/JamLordOfTheRingsGalleryImages/hobbits.jpg

[drpeprfan.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I definitely share the Georgie Henley fawncrush...*not upset that they changed it to have him in the movie more*

[theatershadow25.livejournal.com]

Basically... i'm Jealous. it's actually quite amusing that people in their late teens onward are more excited about the movie than the age range the books were written for.
Heard something interesting:
Dear Fifth Graders,
I am so glad you liked the Narnian books and it was very kind of you to write and tell me. There are to be 7 of them altogether and you are already one behind. No. 4, The Silver Chair, is already out.
You are mistaken when you think that everything in the books "represents" something in this world. Things do that in The Pilgrim's Progress but I'm not writing in that way. I did not say to myself "Let us represent Jesus as He really is in our world by a Lion in Narnia": I said "Let us suppose that there were a land like Narnia and that the Son of God, as He became a Man in our world, became a Lion there, and then imagine what would happen." If you think about it, you will see that it is quite a different thing. So the answer to your first two questions is that Reepicheep and Nick-i-brick don't, in that sense, represent anyone. But of course anyone in our world who devotes his whole life to seeking Heaven will be like Reepicheep, and anyone who wants some worldy thing so badly that he is ready to use wicked means to get it will be likely to behave like Nick-i-brick. Yes, Reepicheep did get to Aslan's country. And Caspian did return safely: it says so on the last page of The "Dawn Treader". Eustace did get back to Narnia, as you will find when you read The Silver Chair. As for who reigns in Narnia to-day, you won't know till you have had the seventh and last book.
I'm tall, fat, rather bald, red-faced, double-chinned, black-haired, have a deep voice, and wear glasses for reading.
The only way for us to get to Aslan's country is through death, as far as I know: perhaps some very good people get just a tiny glimpse before then.
Best love to you all. When you say your prayers sometimes ask God to bless me.
Yours ever,
C.S. Lewis

Oh, and Cleolinda... I'm in Jealous love with your Narnia Icon... permission to take?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Of course! I have a whole folder of them I linked to in a previous entry. All for taking or customizing or whatever. : )

[spikes-nibblet.livejournal.com]

It did kick major ass, didn't it? I felt like a fifth grader again - exactly the same as I did when my librarian read it to my class. Awww.

And OMG. She was wearing his MANE?? *is dumb* I'll have to see if my more keenly-observant brother noticed this! Damn... I know she's hella evol and shiz, but - yowch.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Seriously, I've had the pictures for months and I *saw* it, but I didn't understand what I was seeing. It blends in with her hair and kind of looks like prairie grass or something, and Swinton said in an interview that Jadis just dresses herself out of whatever's at hand in the natural landscape--and they're in fields/meadows. I didn't realize what I was looking out until someone on Narniaweb said it.

[theblackdoll.livejournal.com]

the fact that I have not yet seen this movie is killing me. K I L L I N G ME.

[prncssaurora.livejournal.com]

DAAAAAAAAMN YOOOOOOOOU! *shakes fist* I will be seeing it in approximately 9 hours. Fweeee!

And also, redheads are the best. ;)

[megmatthews20.livejournal.com]

Did anyone else get to see the Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest trailer?

it ROCKS!

OMG CAN'T WAIT!

cheers

[drpeprfan.livejournal.com]

I did! I had actually seen it a few weeks ago on Yahoo Movies too, but it looks like they actually didn't kill it. I'm stoked! I just have to say that the "Captain Jack is Back" thing was great.

[deliciouspear.livejournal.com]

Worship my new icon beeeeeeeatch!

[xenocharm.livejournal.com]

:-D!

I loved it as well!
