I loved the part in Shadowlands where Lewis realizes he's never known the first thing about pain, for all he's been lecturing on how a Christian should face it, not until he loses his wife.
Great movie.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

That's an awesome movie, WDC, I loved it.
Me, too. I've always had an intellectual crush on Lewis, and Hopkins made him so tender and sympathetic yet still sort of crusty, and stuffy and thud.

and thud
Oh, yeah. I've always had a bit of a writer crush on C.S. Lewis, so having Hopkins play the role (and he's one of my actor crushes) just made the movie that much more swoon worthy.

Take your fingers off it, don't you dare touch it, you know it don't belong to you, to you...
You mean other people have intellectual crushes?

And writer crushes? Awesome.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Writer crushes? You see any actors with their own threads here?

The writers are ours. They came to us. Our own. Our...
*cough* Yeah, we have big writer crushes around these parts.

Oh, yeah, I heart Lewis big time. I used one of his books on the synthesis of Platonic and Aristotelian systems within Medieval Literature to analyze his entire Narnia series for a history of science course. Suprisingly, I don't much care for some of his other fiction. But I like his non-fiction excessively.

Yeah, I just want to have a cup of tea with him. You know that book, The Five People You Meet in Heaven, I've never read it, or even the comments on the covers. The title sends my imagination soaring, more than it grabs me to read the book.
Anyhow, when I see it, or hear it mentioned, I'm always trying to figure out who'd be on my list. Lewis is always there. I play games with it, though...like, "Okay, I wouldn't actually be 'meeting' Dad or Nana, because we've met. So I'd just be seeing them again. So, I still get to see all *my* people, and if I'm limited to five, it's just five new people. Right. Now I can meet five people. Okay, Jesus, Lewis..." and then I go off into a big fantasy about having tea with Lewis. It's a sickness, Buffy.
