Now, I'm not against the slight fabrication of a novel in order to make it more applicable to the big screen. I understand that verbatim transfer from novel to screen play is impossible. That said, I did enjoy The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Capsian. As a Disney action adventure film. However, as an adaptation of CS Lewis's second (technically third) installment of the Narnia series it it made me want to systematically send anthrax laden hate mail to anyone remotely involved with the project. Normally I am completely averse to spoiling the endings of things for people (except for that one time when I ruined the end of The Sopranos for CJ which was a complete and total accident as I do not watch the show and mentioned it in passing because I had seen a segment about in on "The Soup"), however in this particular gem of a quote it is unavoidable. SO read at your own risk.
Me: I mean there was absolutely no sexual tension and/or kissing between Caspian and Susan in the book!
Vince Andrews: Yeah I was just waiting for them to do it the whole time.
In hindsight this is probably one of the funniest things I've ever heard. Because clearly, and I feel Vince would agree with me, he was not waiting for them to do it. This is a movie based around the concept of four adolescent British children being relocated to a mystical land in which the hero is a lion. At no point is anyone "doing it." It was just one of those things you say to continue conversation. Everyone does it.
vivé Aslan!

I thought the movie was okay. I liked it but, it was nothing special. But, this is coming from the guy who has not read the books. I did notice the attraction between the two characters, not necessarily them "doing it" but I figured a kiss was going to happen. I say you get a mouse like the ones in the movie.
I agree Cal--she definitely needs a mouse like that one. It has to have the ear feather too. And a sexy name like Frederico or something.
the adjective "sexy" will NEVER describe the name "frederico".
You must not see the mouse I see in my head, Boudreaux. Frederico describes him perfectly.
