Yay for BBM!
I got my copy today and need to watch it to see if I got one of those messed up wide-screen/full screen jobs, but I'm holding it like it's the Grail or something. I just want to look at it for a while.
I liked 'Narnia' just fine. Yeah, Lewis wrote it with Christianity in mind, but even he in the end dismissed his own series as 'childern's stories' and they are.
I love the fact that it's supposed to be a Christian fable, Aslan as the Christ figure, but the denizens of Narnia celebrate Xmas! Santa Claus makes a cameo appearance! How can Aslan be Christ-like if they already know about the Christ?!?!
Silly.
Despite Lewis' attempt, he made more of an eastern religious fable, than a western one. What a Tolkien wannabe.

he also missed the point of self-sacrifice. if Aslan knew he'd come back to life, then was his death really a sacrifice?

Bingo!
Well said star. No sacrificing oneself to death for others really counts if you know you're going to come back to life a few hours later!
What kind of Indian-giver sacrifice is that? It's more a card-in-the-sleeve/pulling a fast one/deceitful act than anything noble.

I think that's great figure. The AA winner Million Dollar Baby made about USD 25,000,000 in DVD sales last year. The AViator $35,000,000
Revenge is sweet. So many right wing types were saying DVD sales for this would be mariginal because only a very limited group of ppl would buy the DVD. Those edgey non-gay ppl who went to see the film won't want to the DVD. Ha!
More money for FOCUS. Those ppl have to be so happy. Not bad for a film that cost only USD 15,000,000
I bought two so I did by deed.
I wonder how much in DVD sales CRASH will make??? It won best picture.
1.4million x 20USD = pretty good.
