cute overload
Walked into "Narnia" extremely skeptical (I guess I'm like Susan). But despite the TINY screen (names in the credits were literally chopped off), the dirty seats, the noisy Alaskan audience, and overall shittiness of the theatre (I think the last movie I saw there was either Flubber or Mulan) I pretty much enjoyed it.
Mostly because of that darling little Lucy with her giant eyes and pudgy little cheeks. And Liam Neeson's soothing voice.
But seriously folks, I mean maybe it was my childhood Sunday bible study classes kicking in, but the religious overtones in that movie were so blatant; at one point I just wanted to yell out "OKAY I GET IT, ASLAN IS CHRIST, LET'S MOVE ON" but figured that was probably the repressed religious background speaking.
I don't think I got the religiousness of the books when I was reading them...oh well.
I gave myself a pat on the back though for ID-ing the soundtrack artists before they came up at the end of the credits (Emily, my now ex-suitemate, makes it a point to stay until the very end of the credits, out of respect for the crew & people who....well, made the goddamn movie, so that habit of hers kind of rubbed off on me); I definitely pinned Alanis, but wasn't sure if the first singer was Imogen from Frou Frou. Turns out I was right, go me. Her voice is so unique though, I could probably call her out in a crowd of strangers if she was humming something.
Mmkay will update later, must dash.
