Well, it's good to hear people like it. I guess I expected too much. I was hoping for the hit out of the park. The movie that was going to open the flood gates for other Christian gendre's.
It's coming...
Wait for it.... |

| I sort of liked the nod to the CS Lewis "he's either the christ or crazy" argument they put in the movie. |

I just saw it and it was fantastic. I don't know what I expected from it, but I really loved it. I wasn't really excited about the witch though... her acting was a bit bland. But otherwise, I really really liked it. In fact, I haven't had that positive a response to a movie in... well, I don't really know how long.
Did I meantion I liked it? ... well, loved it really.  |

I just saw it. It was a decent movie. Not the best I've seen lately but it was entertaining.
I disagree about the witch's acting though.... how hard must it have been to not blink for the entire show? |

| It was cool. For me, the best was the beaver's dialogue, quality stuff. Over-all it could have used a little more juice, but I'd probably see it again and recommend it to my friends. |

I saw it yesterday - it was good but not great. Hopefully enough of my students will see it that we can talk about it (and I can lend out the 7-volume series, which I have).
Will they do a pre-quel of The Magician's Nephew? |

I have a couple of returnee students, and we started reading the series in November, anticipating the movie's release. All 3 of us thought Nephew was a waste of time (not enough battles, way too obvious Xtianity).
We're planning a special event to go the theater and see it together this week, maybe next. I notice it's doing slightly better than King Kong at the box office, and that's cool. |

Am I the only sane, educated and well read individual who thinks that Lord of the Rings is one of the absolute worst movies/novels of all time?
As an aside.... Narnia does kick the ever living shit out of Lord of the Rings... It's refreshing to see wizards who actually cast spells instead of just set off fireworks... oh yeh, and 3hrs? Go *beep* yourself. |

Son Deuro...I missed the joke. Were the dead in the zombies called gendre's? I tried to look up on google...but nothing...sorry, I'm a bit of a work when it comes to that kind of humor.

Nah, just something about the way you worded your post made it seem so... ominous. Since you misspelled genre to make a word that didn't really exist, I just thought I'd come up with the most frightening interpretation I could, and probably nothing more frightening can be unleashed than a horde of zombies. It probably wasn't that funny to begin with, and now it's REALLY not funny.
Oh well. |

Too bad, because I thought it was just getting funny.
The Holy Grail crossed with star wars....could it get any better? |

Saw it today. Very good. I recommend it. Liam Neeson's Lion is the best of the species I ever saw, though not good enough (quite) to make me believe that Christ is My Lord ... no one involved in the movie wanted that, nor did I, so it's a success all around. The lion was so good, though, I did end hoping he would find the other end of the Wardrobe and come out on our side of it ... now THAT would be a story, beat King Kong all to hell.
I gave the the two reurnee students I mentioned a homework assignment to make a list of at least ten ways the the movie departed from the book by Thursday, and told them the next week's assignment would be a compare/contrast essay explaining which one (the book or the movie) was better. And why.
At dinner, the new wife told me about a British guy she met who spent a couple of years on a Masters degree at Yonsei (and untold money) who recently got a FT job editing and translating for a Korean daily you would have heard of ...
I asked her, very gently, "Does that guy get get to take 12-year-old kids to a movie and later get them to talk about why they liked it or didn't? And get paid for it? Or does he instead spend 8 hours a day staring at a computer screen in an office cubicle with bad coffee and slightly better tea?"
And the quality of the smile she gave me over galbi this evening me makes me think I found the right gal and she found the right guy ... well, we're both hoping so, I think. |
