They had them available new and used--I got a new one through one of the vendors for less than $5!
I remember first reading the story in Reader's Digest before the movie was broadcast. In fact, that's why I tuned in to watch, since I really loved the story. They did an excellent job of adapting the story, and all the roles were performed very well.
"Who Am I This Time?" first broadcast on American Playhouse 20-some years ago, starring Walken and Susan Sarandon, directed by Jonathan Demme and based on the Vonnegut short story.
OMG I LOVE THIS MOVIE. I actually own it, having bought it from Amazon.com a couple of years ago (I had to wait, like, 6 weeks, for them to locate a copy.) The chemistry between Walken and Sarandon in this flick is
scorching.
Plus, it's such an adorable story. I didn't know it was based on a short story by Vonnegut! Neat.
I am not sure if I will like this narnia....
we will be making sure that Christians go in droves
He says this like the general moviegoing public is lacking in Christians.
Is this why the Southern Baptists called off their boycott of Disney?
That's not the Narnia I know.
But everyone does know that the Narnia books, in particular LionWitchWardrobe, are Christian allegories, right? I'm not trying to be condescending; I've been talking to people lately who didn't know that, which is, of course, the way a good allegory should work--still a good story even if you don't see the parallels (see Gulliver's Travels).

I don't think my parents did, or they'd never have bought the books for me.
They probably know that *now*, but I'd have to check. They live a life pretty isolated from organized religion.
