I guess it didn't take. How odd... My cyber woes apparently continue (for the most part I said I have no desire to see this one at all, even on video, and am hoping your post will deter any backsliding I'm prone to on my convictions)!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30810438.post-65088613470755490222008-05-23T17:35:00.000-04:002008-05-23T17:35:00.000-04:00???

I had precisely the same reaction. I wanted...LOL! I had precisely the same reaction. I wanted to quote Inigo myself, but I was there with my hubby, who is not a Princess Bride fan and might not have got the reference. As it was, I got a good private giggle out of it, but not one the moviemakers intended, I'm sure.<BR/><BR/>It is always very dangerous to go see a movie when you have loved the book. I became a Narnia fan as soon as I could read, and have read the series more times than I can remember over the years. While I'm prepared to allow a certain amount of leeway to a producer in remaking a story (it's a different medium, changes have to be made), gutting the central theme is going too far. Taking important characters and twisting them into something very different is also hard to handle.<BR/><BR/>If they had made an incredible masterpiece, I might have forgiven them anyway. But they didn't. They made a so-so movie. It's not a terrible movie, but it doesn't hold a candle to Lewis' vision.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600030574995481267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30810438.post-6609369861597724762008-05-18T20:17:00.000-04:002008-05-18T20:17:00.000-04:00I don't know if that is the case about the hyphena...I don't know if that is the case about the hyphenation, but I do agree with your review about Prince Caspian. I also left you a reply at my blog explaining haramfest.<BR/>My other daughter also noticed that Peter was unnecessarily angry. She read the book five times. She wasn't too happy about her beloved William being so angry all the time since he wasn't in the book.<BR/>Julia, on the other hand, kept quoting from the Princess Bride:<BR/>"My name is Emilio Montoya, and you killed my father. Prepare to die!" everytime Caspian drew his sword. The letters in the word verification spell plavgua. We should come up with some sort of aquatic definition for it.Mother Effingbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01264056812587985898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30810438.post-3448316365761961952008-05-18T18:35:00.000-04:002008-05-18T18:35:00.000-04:00Ah.
