'Shindig'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
My sister is looking forward to seeing the movie in part to get it out of her head.
I wish her luck.
the journalist could develop no sympathy for the characters because they "weren't smart enough" to move away to San Francisco
Your restraint was notable. Jackass.

HAH. I read the story however many months ago and I STILL can't get it out of my head. The movie will break me in many different ways, and I need to see it soon.
Makes more plans for Jan. 2
My poor sister. She's unholily obsessed with this movie. I think if she'd fandomed before, it wouldn't be such a shock. She wants to be free of it, I suspect, but can't...oh, god, I'm going to say it..quit it.
She's read the story, just about every interview, gazed longingly at trailer screen caps, gotten both a free ticket and a paid ticket to see it before it opens officially in the UK...poor thing.
Apart from the offchance she despises the movie, it's not going to get better. And may very well get worse.
Saw Narnia.
Love love love. I forgave them Lucy not being blonde (maybe that was just the cartoon? my head? I think it was in the book) once I saw the actress. Marvelous. I loved the casting of all the children and how they actually looked like siblings. I loved the period detail and feel. I didn't mind the changes because none of them seemed a) gratuitous or b) completely out of sync.

I need to be an email buddy with your sister for awhile, I think.
Now I'm somewhat afeard to go see it.
See it! It's so good!! Really wonderful. And sad. But good! t /inarticulate
I just want to scoop them up and keep them safe and young and beautiful forever and ever and ever.

I agree, Trudy. I LOVED Narnia. It was so beautifully done. I didn't remember that Lucy was a blonde in the book, but the actress who played her was the cutest.thing.ever.
