[IAKaraokeGirl]

Me! Me! Me!

The kids and I saw it Saturday. I thought it was a pretty darn good interpretation/presentation of my most favoritest book of childhood. My eight-year old son, who'd read the book a few months ago, LOVED it. I purposely hadn't re-read it prior to seeing the film...which means the last time I read it was probably 25 years ago. :D

Yeah, I was ALMOST tempted to stay and watch it again, as my children begged me to do. ;)

[wyndhy]

not yet but i wanna

*jumps up and down waving arms like crazy* :p:D

we'll probably get to see it between chrismas and new year's - when we're at the 'rents (aka-free babysitters)

My wife and I went on Saturday and we loved it, too!. Absolutely wonderful show for kids and adults alike. Theatre was packed and it was in four theatres in the megaplex we went to and was being offered about every few hours ... and this was the second day of it's being shown. And, it was one of the few shows I've been to where people applauded when it was over.

Now I'm anxious for it to come out on DVD. :)

[dreamgurl]

I'm going tomrrow, I hope it's good I haven't read the book since I was 10.

[Scarecrow]

Not yet, but hope to go soon.


Did you see where Paromount is buying out DreamWorks?

[sodaklostsoul]

Kiddo wants to go, she is reading the books now.

[Oldfart]

Not yet, but as soon as I can.

I want to see this version of Aslan.

[Lilith]

My little kiddo is dying to see it. We'll go next week.

...Did you see where Paromount is buying out DreamWorks?
Scarecrow,

Yes indeed. It would seem that Paramount thinks it is cheaper to purchase talent that grooming their own.

I hope they have better luck than the Orioles have had. :(

[dicksbro]

I hadn't seen that about Paramount buying DreamWorks. Heaven forbid they end up ruining what has been a very talented company. I hate seeing these companies that get a good start doing quality work get absorbed by bigger companies. Pet peeve of mine.

[Cheyanne]

Not yet! But as soon as it comes to our little theatre we will! :D

(The Narnia series was one of my favorite series books - still is actually.. :D)

[dreamgurl]

Alright peeps this has my seal of approval if that means anything, amazing sets and the kids were great actors.....i thought it went well with the books unlike " the Notebook" and others i have seen lately.

[lizzardbits]

OMG! i just got back from seeing it and Mrs. Beaver's voice had an uncanny resemblance to my future mother-in-law's voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I, too, cannot wait until it comes out on DVD with all the neato extra things

[wyndhy]

i was a mite disappointed :(

[Aqua]

i was a mite disappointed :(
:eek:
Really? How so?

[wyndhy]

it had a cheese factor...the magic of the books didn't translate to the film well.

and it coulda been a bit shorter...the hollywood version of a significant glance was way overplayed. removing just half of them would have cut the movie by about 20 minutes.

the matrix move didn't help either. :p

[Aqua]

I demember the Matrix move... When was that?

[wyndhy]

when peter was fighting with the white queen toward the end of the battle and he pulled a neo (~impossible backward bending of the spine) to avoid the sword (~projectile moving across frame: speed not to exceed .0006 miles per hour)

[Aqua]

Ah yes. I guess it didn't bother me too much cause they didn't use the 'camera moves 180 degrees around the backbending freedom fighter' shot.

[wyndhy]

lmao.

king kong is next.

[Aqua]

Yes!

Bring on the big monkey!

[wyndhy]

nawwww...that's a guy in a suit.
:p

[Lilith]

nawwww...that's a guy in a suit.
:p


Thanks for spoiling it for those of us who still believe in him :( bah humbug :D

[wyndhy]

psst...lil. i think you may have a bigapecomeravagemewithyourgentleways fantasy.
jus' sayin'.

[Lilith]

He and I already have a past. In the 4th grade I won a 10 foot paper mache' King Kong from a raffle. He was covered with chopped up wigs and holding a Barbie and a King Kong decorated cake.

I wuvs him

: swoons hoping he catches me all Fay Ray style :

[Aqua]

Hi Lil,
have you noticed my wookie-apelike shagginess?

[Lilith]

Hi Lil,
have you noticed my wookie-apelike shagginess?

did you think that was a coincidence????

[Oldfart]

Are you pushing to be his little Wray of sunshine?

Just saw Narnia, loved it.

[wyndhy]

Yes!

Bring on the big monkey!
i really liked it. really amazing, actually.

except :o ... is it just my lest-than-stellar attention span and my hope-the-kids-are-being-good guilt or have movies gotten really, really, really frikkin long?

[Oldfart]

Yes.

[Lilith]

I did not read the books. I really enjoyed the movie. My kids both liked it as well. I watched for wyndhy's Matrix move and def saw it. My oldest said it was the only bit of cheese. I loved the costuming.

[BigBear57]

We saw it last night and I enjoyed it. My son the critic however, made several remarks that it was missing some elements from the book. He admitted he enjoyed it but constantly included a but when doing so. LOL He's such a trip. My daughter whacked me for going to see it while she was at work, I guess I'll go again for her sake.

[Aqua]

BTW... did you all know there's a wookie in Narnia?

[Oldfart]

No, but if you hum a few bars, we'll fake it.

[jseal]

Aqua,

I took the family to see it Friday evening. A good presentation of the story from the books. Well received by the rest of the audience as well.

Enjoyable film.

[wyndhy]

i think i just built it up too much.
