One of the executive producers of Revelations is a friend of mine. I'll probably not bring it up unless I get around to watching it.

That's a sobering article, Tommy. But not particularly surprising.

I read a review of Revelations (in People or TV Guide) and it specifically said it wasn't like the Left Behind books but more creepy and lots less preachy. The actual review was pretty positive.

Hi Dawn!

Everyone who knew them both was convinced that they had had an affair, and everyone was also convinced that it ended after just a couple of months. But Lewis couldn't allow himself to walk away from the mess: he'd promised his friend to take care of his mother, and the fact that he'd subsequently slept with that mother and she'd turned out to be mentally unbalanced didn't free him from that promise; in fact, in his mind, he was now more responsible for her than ever. She was unwell, widowed, without a son, and now fixated on him because he'd sexually used her, so clearly the only thing that could make it all worse than it already was would be to abandon her. So he stayed. He supported her and her daughter financially, said "How high?" every time she told him to jump, and made a conscious decision not to get involved with any other woman while she was alive because, having been such a selfish sex-obsessed bastard, the least he could do was spare her that pain. (And this was even before his conversion; he was a furious atheist at the time, but no less a rigid moralist.)

Damn, *this* is the movie that needs to be made, not Shadowlands.

Oh, but I loved Shadowlands!

Which is not to say that I don't see half a dozen plot bunnies hopping around in that particular episode of Lewis's early life.

Fair point; I really enjoyed Shadowlands, too. However, I think the Jossverse has forever warped me into wanting the dark and complex side of things, now.

So I amend; *in addition to* Shadowlands, I'd also like to see a movie of The Mixed-Up Highly Inappropriate and Entangled Misadventures of C.S. Lewis' Early Life.

Timelies all!

Another lovely day here. and I had to spend it at work. Alas...

Going back...

Watch out, Sydney!

Much I did not know about C.S. Lewis I've now learned thanks to JZ. They do need to make that movie.

Revelations. I may need to watch just to watch. They seem to be marketing it as a horror movie.

Oh, when in doubt about where to take a plot, I always ask myself "What Would Joss Do?" (And if I get too grim, I have two CPs who'll both say, "Isn't this kinda Season 6?")

I'd also like to see a movie of The Mixed-Up Highly Inappropriate and Entangled Misadventures of C.S. Lewis' Early Life.

I could work on that, only for me it'd end up something like The Mixed-Up Highly Inappropriate and Entangled Misadventures of the Early Life of a Regency Gentleman Loosely Based Upon CS Lewis, With Subsequent Redemption Because I'm a Romance Writer, Yo, and am Therefore Obliged to End on the Happy.
