Aslan: "You will always be welcome in Narnia."

Me: "Except you, Susan, cause you're bad and you don't believe."

Also, while Older Peter is all the hot (once he shaves), I'm not sure I can love someone who's named Cornelius Marmaduke-- Noah Cornelius Marmaduke Huntley. Unless I can say it like Milla in Fifth element. Hmm. Plus he's a vegan. I'll have to go with Older Edmund instead.

Fake snow is so sad. And you can't see anyone's breath in the snow scenes, and they're never really cold. (and I know cold, having been recently reacquainted with it last week.) Think of all the little kids in hot places who will be so surprised when snow doesn't behave like the movies.

Except that I will kick all of you out temporarily at various points. But other than that.

I don't see why they cast the kiddo as Edmund if they weren't going to cast the fella from "Enigma" as Older Edmund. It Makes No Sense.

Yes, apparently they're all welcome *if* they can find it.

While I had issues with it, I'm 95% sure the issues I had were with the book itself, not the adaptation. Such as the fact that the girls are busy cuddling the dead lion instead of fighting the war. Only bad girls go to war. Good girls are nurses. I'm pretty sure that was in the book too.

Yeah, and in the book when Susan gets her bow from Father Christmas, he tells her to use it only as a last resort, because it's a terrible thing when women have to fight. At least in The Last Battle, Jill just gets, "Here's your bow -- if you start to cry, make sure not to get your bowstring wet." And she remembers, too.

Yah, if anything, the movie's unobtrusive use of female centaurs and (I feel sure) cheetahs is more gender-equitable than the book.

In general, though, I would be extremely careful about describing nurses as not going to war. I get the point you're making about boys hurting/girls healing, but the stuff medical personnel has gone through in war is not at all negligible.

I should have said, "Only bad girls fight." Since in his world, they go to war, but they go for the nurturing purposes, not for, you know, *hurting* people.

Speaking of nursing, Hannah was really annoyed that Lucy didn't try her magic potion anyway on Aslan, and when I thought of it, it would have made that bit a little stronger, to have them truly exhaust their options there, and then have him come back independant of them (though I suppose they felt sacrifice and resurrection is strong enough on its own).

Yay for Edmund!
