"Prince Caspian" out May 16

[cloudy]

I know it's silly to look forward to this movie so much, but I'm still enchanted by the Narnia books, even though it's been way too long since I've read them.

This one looks to be good.

 

[Katyusha]

I know what you mean...I'm really looking forward to that too. I love the books and I loved the first one and you're right, it does look like it'll be good.

My husband and I rarely agree on the same movies but this is an exception. I can't wait for the movie to come out as well.

It's a great story and all 7 books should be read, not just "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe."

Erin

I agree completely

The wife and I will go and have read all the books.
Even got the girls to read them

 

[Salvor-Hardon]

I'll be taking the boys to go see it when it comes out, or at least the older one.

I was slightly miffed that the writer and or director for the first movie bungled (IMHO) the best line of the book

Lucy :"A lion? is he safe?"

Mr tumnus "Oh no dear child, he is not safe, but he is good."

 

[fieryjen]

I still haven't seen the first one with sound. I do own all the books and I've seen the old version movie, but I still want to remedy that before going to see Prince Caspian.

 

[alyxen]

Agreed! Read all of the books growing up, and liked the first movie (even though they did change some things unless I am remembering the books wrong). Will definitely catch this one in the theater though I think.

 

[English Lady]

Oooh, yay! I'll be defintely seeing this at the Cinema I love Narnia. I bet my little girl will want to see it, too. She loved the first one.

It had such a rip-roaring plot-- it should make a good movie

But I have to say that I start laughing every time I see the poster. Those tumbled locks! Those come-hither eyes! Those pouting lips! Too delicious.

Indeed.

 

[NoJo]

I'm really looking forward to seeing it.

The films are thankfully coming out in the same order that the books did. Prince Caspian was my least favorite of the books -- but I loved -- actually I was obsessed with -- them all.

I just saw the tralier in Cloudy's link above -- and I had a thrill of recognition -- like LOTR, the film's scenery fits exactly with my very clear imagination of how the scenery looked. Even such things as whether the characters move left to right. But the kids themsleves don't look like Pauline Baynes' drawings.

You TOO? Ha! I thought I was the only one who noticed that they weren't even TRYING to be subtle with the sex-appeal promotion this time around!

I wish I could show you them, but they had put up those posters of Caspian on street-level walls and construction lot barriers all around town...and people here are MERCILESS with paint markers on those sort of hipster-ish, pretty-boy, "look at how good looking I am" face-forward posters. He gets slammed pretty good. I should snapshot some and post them here.

You know what the real demographic is? Me. Middle-aged slash-fic-reading, soon-to-be-ex-housewife, women. If they have kids, that's fine, but-- BIIIG market there.

They learned from the Harry Potter phenom.

 

[Fallenfromgrace]

I read only the first book when i was little. And i re-read it many times because i was enchanted by it. Never did get to the others...

Still haven't seen ALL of the first film, i didn't get to go watch it at the cinema, and i fell asleep from unrelated exhaustion when my sisters were watching it on DVD a few months back...

Looking forward to watching the 1st one and then rushing out to see the second though

 

[Spawn_of_Cloudy]

Mom, you and me are gonna see this togethor lol cause I'll graduate by then.

Yay! C. will probably come, too, but you're probably a much better movie date than he is.

I'm not really awake right now, so I probably shouldn't comment on that...

*doesn't comment*

I never heard more than mutterings of the title, "The with, the wardrobe..." (I'm so friggen tired...) about the series until the movie came out.

 

[MrsDeathlynx]

The series was the only books I ever got from a Weekly Reader because my family was poor growing up and couldn't afford much but somehow my mom came up with the money cause there was a great deal on all of them together. I loved them and can't wait to see all of the movies if they do them all. Maybe this movie will be the one that we'll go to see and leave the little man with his Yaya to babysit so we can have some us time...
