Does Caspian have a silly accent??

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

You know, I notice that actors send to spontaneously develop bizarro accents whenever they say their [fantasy] character's name. He may read his other lines perfectly normally, who knows.

Ooh! If you're able to get caps, I'd love some! :-)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I'm holding out for a much larger HD file--it was supposed to come out Wednesday anyway. But I'll definitely send you caps when I get something we can actually see details in. : )

[greyduck.livejournal.com]

Huh. I neither loved or hated the first movie. I think I'll see what the rugrats think of it when the time comes.

[dramedy.livejournal.com]

HEE! This makes me very happy.

[londonsparrow.livejournal.com]

Though I've known Narnia for so much, much longer, I still get the uncomfortable feeling of a Potter/LOTR mashup that others may see. But hey, it's very flashy! Is that William Moseley kid eighteen yet? So I don't have to feel weird? Speaking of, Caspian: mroaw~.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Speaking of, Caspian: mroaw~.

First five minutes of Stardust, all I'm sayin'.

Sadly for me the most exciting thing about the Caspian trailer coming out is that it means we're that one step closer to Dawntreader.

The second most exciting thing though is the fact that this looks pretty awesome.

Doesn't Lucy look old though? Susan, meanwhile, looks younger. At least when she's in school uniform she does. It's surreal.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

You know, I'm excited because I never really liked the Caspian book, so there's pretty much nothing they could do that would disappoint me or piss me off in the least. AND THEN DAWN TREADER YAY!

[princessstarr.livejournal.com]

EEEEEEEEEEE.

There are no words to describe how insanely excited I am over this.

Also- was there a random Tilda Swinton cameo in there?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

YES! I have no idea why she was there and I DON'T CARE! JADIS 4EVAH.

[flickchick321.livejournal.com]

Holy crap. That's awesome. Although the beach bit looks like they got stuck in Pirates of the Caribbean.

So excited. It's like, "We're Narnians, and we're here to kick your ass."

[hollywdliz.livejournal.com]

Heh. I was thinking, "OMG, they're 'Lost'! Maybe Sawyer is Prince Caspian!"

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

I saw the poster for this tonight in the theater and was actually even more excited about it than going to see TGC. :)

Speaking of TGC, after seeing it, I have to say...I really liked it, but in some way that is hard to define, I feel like both the book and the movie are missing something. Like, they are good to read/watch, and fun, and I enjoyed them a lot, but...I don't know. I think part of the problem for me is Mrs. Coulter being so very hard to read, motivation-wise. It's distracting. But I don't think that's all of it.

Do you know what I mean at all? Hrm.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hmm. See, I love Mrs. Coulter--her motives and agenda actually change over the course of the trilogy. I can't remember exactly what her purpose was in taking Lyra up north (or intending to), unless it was the whole preventing-the-prophecy thing and she really did intend to intercise her. But then she walks in on the intercision, and her maternal instincts take over, and it's like even she's bewildered by them. She ends up acting against her own beliefs to protect Lyra, and even betrays the "good" side once she's over there, but by the end, she's finally gone over to Asriel. And I love that, that she has this self-confused internal conflict even as she's going around seducing and kidnapping and poisoning like a total badass.

I enjoyed the movie while I watched it, but I felt kind of blank afterwards. But I often feel like that after walking out of a big movie--a little shell-shocked, almost. (I remember being so buzzed at the end of POTC2, but that was because they had a fantastic end shot, and at the end of Stardust, but that's because it was just such a warm, sweet movie anyway.) So I do want to see it again to see what I think after a second viewing.

YEA Caspian trailer! I am actually pleased at how well the movie and the the first one,which really isn't the first but I'm just picky, turned out visually. But I can't remember half of the stuff in the trailer happening in the book. :( and Caspian is the one book of the whole series that I lent to a friend and never got back. *sigh* I have to go reread it before the movie comes out. but at least I have a while.

and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one waiting for Dawn Treader :)

[athena799.livejournal.com]

Prince Caspian is a stone cold FOX.
But it's been a long time since I read the books (12 years). I don't remember there being so much battle in the novel...

[farasha.livejournal.com]

There was a lot of battle going on offscreen - the children mostly weren't there for it because for half the book they were either a) being recapped or b) being led through the forest. I'm sure they'll rush both parts so as to put more action in the movie, which is a move that I can certainly agree with.

[rainpapercup.livejournal.com]

OH SNAP!

Now I'm excited.

[trash-addict.livejournal.com]

ROWR. I can't even remember how much I like the first one (I think maybe I thought the Christain allegory was a bit heavy handed - but we'll blame the book on that, not the movie), but I will go see this if only for Ben Barnes.

[blackdiamants.livejournal.com]

PRINCE CASPIAN LOOKS LIKE BECKETT.
There. I said it.

[hollywdliz.livejournal.com]

OK, I will try not to judge too much by the trailer (I remember thinking the "Fight Club" trailer was really lame and now it's one of my favorite movies), but it looks like they've done the same thing they did with LWW -- added extraneous action scenes that add nothing to the movie except an extra hour of running time. Archers being flown into the battle in eagles' claws? The White Witch is back as a popsicle? What? I appreciate the difficulty of translating a book onto the screen, but LWW fell pretty flat for me, and I don't always feel that way about movies based on books I know by heart (see HP:GoF and PoA, for example).

But hel-LO, Prince Caspian! Rowr.

[the_rainbow_jen]

I thought that too, but given that the stories are pretty simple and straightforward, if they merely told what was on the page, it'd be pretty flat in comparison to everything else out there, fantasy wise. Over many viewings, I have come to like the action sequences in LWW. Not sure how I'll feel about these, but I'd definitely give it a chance, because I adore the books so much.

And Caspian can have my children any day. Yeah, baby.

[floorlamps.livejournal.com]

AW MAN this whole Narnia movie franchise is basically the realization of my childhood dreams.

SO EXCITED CAN'T WAIT

[evilbearhunter.livejournal.com]

HOMG!!! AWESOME! (PS I am still totally in love with Peter but I will crush cheat on him with Caspian. Damn, dude.)

[hollywdliz.livejournal.com]

Bitca, I will fight you for him! You can have Peter. He is more age-appropriate. I think. Um.

[casirafics.livejournal.com]

The trailer is approximately seventy-six kinds of win. (As with the first movie, my favorite part of it all really comes in with period Britain and how it intersects with the fantastic -- for that matter, it's why I just about grinned myself to death while watching Order of the Phoenix, a.k.a. Harry Potter and the Marvel of the Oystercard -- so the subway transition struck me as just plain gorgeous.)

Am I the only one, though, who snickers every time she sees the phrase "C.S. Lewis' Epic Masterpiece"? The book is the width of a DVD case and I can read it in under half an hour without even trying. ;)

[blackdiamants.livejournal.com]

JADISJADISJADISJADISJADISJADISJADISJADISJADISJADISJADISJADISJADISJADISJADIS.

[karintheswede]

Hee!

So many pretty things, all in one trailer. The prettiest, of course, being that they're closer to Dawntreader now, and that was the Narnia book I always came back to.

[christwise.livejournal.com]

Ok, so the books were not a part of my childhood* and my world was not rocked by The Lion the Witch and The Wardrobe film, and that's putting it lightly. But this one looks much more interesting. Except for one thing...

Fauns don't live to be 1300 years old do they? Damn.

*My Dad is the total opposite of the parents freaking out about The Golden Compass. When I asked him if we had a copy of TLTWaTW book around the house he said "we don't have crap like that." Heh.

[farasha.livejournal.com]

Don't worry. There'll be more Tumnus in The Horse and His Boy :)

[lheena.livejournal.com]

I....





Am I misremembering? But... Isn't Caspian supposed to be, like, nine?

I mean, yes, hot, but he wasn't supposed to be older and hot until the next book. D: He was still under stewardship of King Miraz, and he has to flee when Miraz' wife gives birth to a baby boy - they're going to slaughter Caspian to make the baby boy be the new king, and his teacher, Cornelius, turns out to be a dwarf, and that's how all that goes - and he gets Queen Susan's horn and blows it in Aslan's Howe (How?) because he needs help.

.... Stewardship and teachering and things do not happen when you are twenty. D:

[hollywdliz.livejournal.com]

But you can't be hot when you're nine. And because the last movie had no hot men to ogle, the laws of the universe demanded that Caspian be oglable in this movie. Well, my universe.
