    It's a SFF book. Nerds like SFF, haven't you heard?

    That's a valuable lesson, you have to use the British tastiness scale, which is a lot different than normal people's.

    CS Lewis was a science fiction writer as well. Among other things he foretold the geo-stationary satellite.


    Bwahaha, excellent troll! I salute you sir. Getting modded "+1 Informative" is the icing on the cake.

  6. How will this movie be popular? by hunterx11 · · Score: 5, Funny
    The League of Concerned Christians will no doubt lambast this movie as Satatnic propaganda, due to its depiction of magic and speaking beasts.

    It's only natural to confuse them, since Lewis and Clarke did so much exploring together. :)

  8. Since this is Hollywood, we can do the trailer... by DiamondGeezer · · Score: 3, Funny



    "In a world of peace, four children are sent to a strange house, where they find a portal to another world of perpetual snow and talking animals."

    *Cue gratuitous beaver shot*

    "My word, Sons of Adam and Daughters of Eve! Come in and and have tea!"

    Four children clash hands together and shout "Talking Beavers! Excellent!"

    But then one encounters a mysterious woman:

    "Yes, dear boy. I am an evil witch! You can tell by my impeccable manners and cut-glass English accent!"

    "Uh oh!"

    "Like some Turkish Delight?"

    "Are they like Hershey Bars?"

    "Yes, but not quite as evil and low carb as well"

    To be continued...

    *sigh*

  10. Pretty Disney Perfection by xombo · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm sorry but it seems as though Narnia doesn't believe in dust. Everything in the trailer appears squeeky clean. One thing I particularly enjoyed about the Lord of the Rings was that pieces were dated well and you could honestly believe that this is something that exists in reality.
    Frankly there's no way an old British woman and four children could keep that house perfectly dusted.
    Furthermore, what's with the horrible choice of colors? I've never seen so many primary and secondary colors used in costume and set design in my life. If Narnia is so primitive, technologically, wouldn't it make sense that they would have to use natural dyes--frankly you can't get colors that perfect from natural dye.
    Disney just isn't selling it.
