The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian May 16
I freaking loved the Narnia books when I was a kid…until I got to the last one and found out what happened to Susan, just because she happened to like lipstick (even at age twelve I suffered from chronically thin lips).
But according to C.S. Lewis, if you use lipstick…well, I won’t spoil the end for you. I’m sorry, but you can use lipstick and still believe in magic.
So I won’t go see these movies. But Prince Caspian does look like it might not suck. If you’re 12 or under.
***Edited later: Okay, so a lot of you over-12 Narnia fangirls are upset about what I wrote above. I’m happy so many of you have retained your love for this series in spite of what CS Lewis did to Susan, which I found misogynistic. And…I’m trying to think how to put this: When you’re Catholic, you’re given a set of these books on your First Communion. At first you think, COOL!!!! BOOKS!!!!
Then all your CCD teachers keep talking about them. And slowly, round about sixth grade, you realize: THESE ARE RELIGIOUS BOOKS. And then they become not so cool (only because all your CCD teachers approve of them, and by then, you only want to read books that your CCD teachers DISAPPROVE of. Being completely immature, I am still in that stage).
And honestly, I just can’t get into things with talking animals. Excluding Chewbacca. Carry on.***
