Who Has Been Crowned PRINCE CASPIAN?

Counting down for Boozi's review of this. by instant_karma	Feb 4th, 2007 02:50:52 PM
I can hardly wait! Let's just hope the director isn't some no talent hack who makes everyone's teeth too white.
Ha! My last post jumped to first. by instant_karma	Feb 4th, 2007 02:52:17 PM

Fingers crossed for some angry atheist complaints! by CreasyBear	Feb 4th, 2007 02:55:15 PM
Or at the very least, some hopes that The Golden Compass will put Narnia in its red-state place.
Can't wait by Mister Inbetween	Feb 4th, 2007 02:55:30 PM
I'm looking forward to the scene with the Werewolf and the Witch. I hope they do it justice.

It's the Chronic-WHAT?-cles of Narnia by Cheif Brody	Feb 4th, 2007 03:15:07 PM
I wish they'd make a sequel to that video before they make a sequel to this LOTR wanna be. Yawn.
THE NARNIA LION GOTTA EAT! by hadez	Feb 4th, 2007 03:15:11 PM
Somebody had to do it
Hmmm, Red State? I think CS Lewis would by modlight	Feb 4th, 2007 03:38:27 PM

wah
They're doing another one? by OBSD	Feb 4th, 2007 03:45:01 PM
Great. Two hours of "Medium shot, close up. Medium Shot, close up. Medium shot, close up. Wide cgi shot... medium shot, close up." Don't give us a sense of scope, don't make me believe this film takes place on another world, just keep harping on that claustrophobic medium shot so I can't even begin to believe that they're ever going to escape that snowy soundstage. Nothing takes me out of a movie more than the director's inability to transport the audience out of a soundstage and into a fully realized world. Jeez, Disney, spend an extra couple of million dollars and shoot this shit outside during the winter scenes. You don't have to use real snow, but c'mon!

I give up, where does GOTTA EAT come from by Vindibudd	Feb 4th, 2007 04:15:18 PM
please enlighten or link it for me.
Gotta Eat is old and busted by CTU Mole	Feb 4th, 2007 04:17:31 PM
"I just got off the phone/blackberry/iPhone/subspa ce radio" is the new hotness. But it came from the last line in 'Codename:The Cleaner'. See, stupid.

Hero cast. Now to cast the baddie. by LittleDudes	Feb 4th, 2007 06:17:17 PM
Hulk Hogan would be a good choice. I hear he's available too.
original order by LegoKenobi	Feb 4th, 2007 06:53:10 PM
well, hooray, then -- this means that they are going to make the movies in the original order they were published in, instead of the ridiculous chronological order they are now organized by. thanks, disney, for giving the viewers some credit and letting the jumps around in time stay!
CTU Mole by The Funketeer	Feb 4th, 2007 07:10:35 PM
Got off the phone with comes from Harry's Oscar noms post where he had to let us know he was on the phone with Del Toro as the noms were being announced.
The "Gotta East" guy and "Little Miss Sunshine" guy by heywoodfloyd2001	Feb 4th, 2007 07:38:05 PM
should be put to death. Not funny at all. The fact that these same idiots keep posting it over and over again is fucking lame. I hardly ever post here but it is so sad to see the same idiot typing "this years Little Miss Sunshine" over and over again, and now this idiot who keeps writing "Gotta Eat." Why don't you two losers go and lose your viriginity, huh?
Hey heywoodfloyd2001 by LittleDudes	Feb 4th, 2007 07:54:29 PM
You sound like you gotta eat.
He should have stayed on The History Boys by IndustryKiller!	Feb 4th, 2007 07:57:21 PM
If that's what he was contracted to do. If he asked and they let him out fine, but he's not the only person in that play and when you do a show there are lots of people who count on you to do your job so they can do theirs. It's just very unprofessional to just walk out like that for the allure of Hollywood. Then again I'm not passing judgement because I don't know the nature of the situation. It's not like these massive Hollywood epics are going to do so much for his career, at least if he wants to make decent films. He might get the part playing Denzel Washingtons partner in whatever awful film Tony Scott does next but Scorcese isn't going to be looking for his next lead in the new Narnia film. The original was terrible (Im speaking purely from a film standpoint as Ive never read the books.) and these huge franchises tend to be much bigger than any actor in them. If he was really excellent in the play and getting buzz he should have just stuck with it and done good independent films and taken things from there.
They need to invent a LOT for this one by performingmonkey	Feb 4th, 2007 08:26:27 PM
A few weeks ago I was reading Temeraire and thinking Peter Jackson will have to come up with some seriously inventive shit to actually make an interesting movie out of it. The same applies here with Prince Caspian. It's the most boring and story-lite of the books and around a quarter of it (or maybe more, I can't remember) is a long flashback of Caspian (who's supposed to be more like 14 than 25 which is what this guy is!) learning from this old wizard guy how he should be the true king of Narnia and not his generic evil uncle. He escapes to find old Narnian animals as seen in the first book and they 'summon' the four kids back to Narnia (which in the end is pretty pointless because they do nothing, just see their old castle all broken down and witness Caspian becoming King). There's literally nothing more to it. They'll have to create extra material to stop it from sucking. They won't have as many problems adapting the next two books - The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader and The Silver Chair. Both of those used to be my favourite books when I was about 10. Then they should do The Horse And His Boy before combining the last two books, The Magician's Nephew and The Last Battle into one big movie which shows the birth and death of Narnia.
THE GOLDEN COMPASS won't do shit by godoffireinhell	Feb 4th, 2007 08:30:25 PM
since they removed the Church from the movie version and replaced it with "The Magisterium" some kinda fascist thing without the religion.

Handy for disabling fat men sliding on poles as well as obnoxius ads though in case of good websites i am willing to make an exception.
TOTAL FUCKING BORING!!! by Motoko Kusanagi	Feb 5th, 2007 01:39:40 AM
Who cares about this kiddie crap??? Narnia Chronicles 1 = Eragon 1
I just got off the phone with Peter Jackson... by oh_riginal	Feb 5th, 2007 02:43:12 AM
... and he lost all ability to speak Elvish and began babbling in a mixture of klingon, huttese, and spanish, and according to the interpreter, he was yelling about how much Prince Caspian will be the next Eragon.
You still around, CreasyBear? by raw_bean	Feb 5th, 2007 04:26:25 AM
I'd love to disappoint you by pointing out that I'm an atheist who despised His Dark Materials and has some fond memories from childhood of Narnia, and am looking forward to Caspian far more than the Golden Compass.
A Brit responds by MrTrilby	Feb 5th, 2007 04:38:06 AM
Hang on a minute - isn't suing everyone at the drop of a hat a stereotypically American trait? How is it "so British?"
heywoodfloyd2001 by Err	Feb 5th, 2007 07:24:45 AM
should be put to death. Not funny at all. The fact that this idiot complained is fucking lame. I post here but it is so sad to see this idiot complain and whine. I mean, if he wants someone to listen to him bitch and moan, maybe he should find his mommy or maybe a shrink. Why don't you go to the mall, head into the Hot Topic store and find an emo girlfriend/boyfriend for yourself so that you two can write poems about your problems on this board and then cut yourself?
Red States, eh? by BizarroJerry	Feb 5th, 2007 08:08:38 AM
Y'know, everyone who is explicitly or even vaguely Christian is not a Republican. I don't mean this in a political-debatey way. It's just kind of a weird assumption to make.
Bilbofett by Anna Valerious	Feb 5th, 2007 08:17:52 AM
Henson productions is saying that "Power of the Dark Crystal" is going to be released in 2008 at this point. And the fact they've decided to postpone the "Legends of the Dark Crystal" manga release from Spring to November proves it. Oh, and I'm starting to become fond of this Ben fellow...and the fact he's playing the young Nathaniel Parker makes me even more hot...
Needs more gore and more Anna!!! by Thomas Cromwell	Feb 5th, 2007 09:40:04 AM
This film might suffer without Tilda in it so they should sack adamson and get Tarantino to direct and write the script and get a better composer as Gregson Williams was shite. Aslan's should be pure Irish, Sean Pertwee should play Miraz, the guy from Stormbreaker should play Caspian and the fucking gorgeous Anna Popplewell should get her kit off.
Ah, the chronicles of racism! by bigpth	Feb 5th, 2007 09:49:04 AM
I read through all of the chronicles when I was a teen, and they are good up until the "The Last Battle" where the "darkies" and their "monster" god come and end the world.

narina=LOTR wannabe by hif4life	Feb 5th, 2007 10:29:51 AM
you know the sole purpose of these narnia movies is to cashing on the success of lord of the rings and the harry potter movies. i saw narnia and i was so bored by it, it was clearly done without any real imaginaiton or emotion, it was just a by the book rip off of the other movies.. boring

Anna Popplewell has great lips and a nice pair of...elbows! ;P
Get Uwe Boll on this pronto! by Spandau Belly	Feb 5th, 2007 11:07:13 AM
He could really juice up this franchise by casting some C-list washups and TV stars and circumventing the screenwriting process in favor of more drunken improvised scenes and include some footage of video games being played, maybe this time it could be 'Age of Mythology'.
Anna Popplewell is... by Thomas Cromwell	Feb 5th, 2007 11:10:33 AM
an English Rose, a wonderful actress and a brunette to boot. Brunettes do tend to be the hottest ie. Eva Green, Emmy Rossum, Shirley Henderson etc.
Ben Barnes is MINT! by finky089	Feb 5th, 2007 11:55:17 AM
wait, who's Ben Barnes?

BARNES Yeah, Narnia helped me buy my first Caddy so that I could be in a banner ad on Ain't It Cool.
Red State? You don't mean THAT Ben Barnes? by Onomaki Forp	Feb 5th, 2007 12:05:24 PM
The former Lt. Govenor of Texas? I mean his accent is all wrong, plus he's kinda old for the part...68 is a bit...What? A younger Barnes? Junior Barnes if you will? Didn't he hit Cosby in the face with a slushball? "Junior Barnes?....Junior Barnes?...You gunky!!!"
Ben barnes is also the name of by emeraldboy	Feb 5th, 2007 12:28:37 PM
former director of the abbey theater in Dublin ireland.
What was refreshing about narnia was by emeraldboy	Feb 5th, 2007 12:42:19 PM
that the filmmakers gathered together a cast of youngsters with previous acting experience except lucy whose first film was Lion the witch and the wardrobe. I hate that there was no blood in the film and it made the film weak there was a scene where Tilda swinton is about to kill aslan and they edited it such away that you dont see aslan being impaled. It literally cuts away to susan and lucy sobbing at the death of thier friend. Tilda swinton was great in that film. But the kids were proper actors too so that helped.

Boozi vs. MiraJeff by nemesisdarkside	Feb 5th, 2007 05:58:49 PM
Uwe Boll can referee. TOO SOON!?! Quint should have been the one to go in the 1st place. I also have a thing for brunettes.I've always had a thing for brunettes, maybe it's coz girls of all ethnicities look good brunette, while the same can't be said for blonde and redheads. That's not to say I don't like blondes or redheads though. That would be a stupid reason not to date a girl! :D
You can call us Adam Burr... by nemesisdarkside	Feb 5th, 2007 06:04:46 PM
by the way we dropping Hamiltons! My last post made no sense. What I meant was I like girls of all hair colours (even purple ;D) but I find myself attracted to brunettes most of the time and not that I'd "tolerate" a girl being blonde/red. Hahahaha.
A 25 year old playing a 13 year old? by Prior Walter	Feb 5th, 2007 06:53:42 PM
Quite a bit of a stretch.
Alison Lohman was 24.. by nemesisdarkside	Feb 5th, 2007 08:24:27 PM
or 23 when she convincingly played Nic Cage's 14 yr old daughter in Matchstick Men. This may be BS, but I read even Ridley didn't know she was that old. However, this post is irrelevant as this guy might end up looking like a "WB/CW Teenager". Anna Popplewell. Anna Popplewell! Anna Popplewell!! Damn you Thomas Cromwell!!! ;P
Motoko Kusanagi... YES! by oh_riginal	Feb 6th, 2007 01:16:48 AM
I almost forgot about the campaign to get Mel Gibson for the human-less AVP3 movie! IT MUST BE DONE! Oh, and someone get on the horn and get the most awesome movie never made into production... BUSEY VS NOLTE!
