I'm not especially interested in narnia but tilda swinton playing the white witch was one of the best casting decisions ever.

Payndz posted:Nobody under 60 gives a crap about Narnia, stop trying to make it happen, Hollywood. I remember watching the Prince Caspian adaption made in 2008ish and they were very obviously aiming at the Lotr market, with huge, epic cgi battles, which is very much what Narnia was never about.

My mum in her 80s has been a ransomware victim and ponied up £400 to a 'very helpful firm' whose contact number was on the 'blob on the screen' that stopped her using her laptop last week when I was on holiday last week :rollyeyes:. I said why didn't you phone me first? She said "I didn't know where you were"- hello, mother, it's a MOBILE phone for a reason! I get my mum's email (she gets her own - but I also get it on thunderbird so I can keep an eye out and noticed it this evening). I phoned the company who had the audacity to send her a feedback email with a phone number on it - couldn't tell from google whether they were definitely scammers or not though I thought they probably were, so I called them up. "IT World" is the company. She almost certainly clicked on an email purporting to be from someone she knows with a link in it (I didn't have my laptop with me when I was away so wasn't able to intercept it) The bloke sounded very nervous when I said I was ringing on behalf of my elderly mother and I wanted to know exactly what service he had done for her. He reckons they've installed a firewall on it and she's paid £400 for 2 years. I suspect there's no chance of her getting the money back, dad got scammed out of £250 a few years ago by one of those "I'm calling from Windows leave your computer on all afternoon so we can fix it if you pay us £250" phone calls and the credit card company said "well you got what you paid for - you left it on all afternoon and the computer was ok afterwards". Anyway, I've contacted someone I know & trust who can give her laptop a thorough check out. Just thank goodness she doesn't do internet banking!

How many times have they tried to make Narnia a film franchise now? I read all those books when I was a very young kid and a lot of the heavy-handed Christian symbolism went right over my head for the most part, and I still thought they were a bit poo poo.

I'm with Tolkien on the Narnia books. The heavy handed Christian allegory is poo poo and distasteful, and that the worldbuilding was also poo poo because Santa would never co-exist in the same universe as Fauns.

History Comes Inside! posted:How many times have they tried to make Narnia a film franchise now? I remember being about 10 and reading "The Last Battle" in bed, and it really spooked me. So I went downstairs - mum was away and dad let me watch tv with him. He was watching a film about Joan of Arc and she was getting burned at the stake. Ho hum!

I seem to remember The Last Battle being really racist as well, with a weird Mohammed allegorical character (I think it was a donkey dressed in a Lion skin or something).

The 70s? cartoon was a thing that got played a lot when I was young. I could believe that was a lot of the nostalgia / brand recognition that got all the movies kicked off.

The best thing I ever read about Narnia was when someone calculated how much the water pressure would be forced into Narnia be if you threw the wardrobe and let it sink to the bottom of the Mariana Trench. Which I could find it, but it would totally kill everything there. Not sure if it also did how long it would take to drain the seas.

The joke is that "I have information which will lead to the arrest of hillary clinton" is a meme, with the implication that people tweet it right before they turn up dead. I primarily associate it as beginning with epstein but tbh it sounds like a trump tweet from 2016 that got applied to him.

To the point where I probably went too far but at least she won't accidentally end up impoverished. In primary school if it was raining at break time we'd all pile to the gym hall to sit around a small CRT to watch either a Narnia adaptation or The Borrowers so I've developed a lifelong aversion to both properties. Just boring shite.

I only ever read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and I'm a bit suspicious of anybody that claims to have read any of the others TBH. I was really excited the first time I found Turkish Delight for sale because the book made it out to be so delicious, and at my young age I assumed it was either something old-timey no longer available or just entirely invented. Well, it turns out it's real but it's dogshit, thanks for the disappointment C. S. Lewis
