I'm washing my hair that night.

I'll put my money on anything other than (a). :-)

I didn't try reading Lewis until I was in my 20s and my entrenched atheistic sensibilities were shocked. Probably unreasonably, but shocked nonetheless. (I much prefer his writing when his religiosity is up-front: The Screw-Tape Letters, for instance.) While the movies seem much tamer than the books, I still can't get excited about them. If I do go, it'll be because the kids dragged me.

I'm also getting a little tired of fantasy about and for kids. What about something featuring adults for a change?

(I figure it's only a matter of time before urban fantasy and paranormal romance will get their day in the sun...)

Have you seen Nightwatch and Daywatch?

[seanwilliams.livejournal.com]

Nightwatch yes, Daywatch no. I must get around to it sometime. That's definitely the kind of thing I'm hankering for.

Constantine isn't far off either. Less cute, more balls (if you'll pardon the gender-specific allegory). :-)

Pan's Labyrinth? Please forgive dodgy spelling. It's early in the morning and I have a cold.

I love PL. Personally, I too, am hankering for more adult orientated fantasy. But most filmmakers think fantasy is kid-stuff. Which is what a lot of the general population thiknk too, which goes to show how dumb they are.

I shouldn't get started on this subject. It's a pet peeve, and I can go on for hours, with illustrative quotes.

On another note: I'm buuying The Changeling this weekend.

Yes, PL is a definite improvement. I thought the fairytale aspect sat rather poorly against the grim realism of the rest of the tale, but it was a bold experiment and very powerful despite its flaws. I took Seb, 15, and he declared it to be the best film he'd ever seen. That's high praise from someone like him. :-)

I hope you enjoy The Changeling. Imagine it on the small screen as you go. I want to see the crabblers in three-d!

I'm hanging out for the special edition of The Changeling with David Cornish's illustrations. Until I'm rich enough to commission it, I'll just have to go for the mass paperback.

I'm probably more agnostic than atheist. It's not so much the idea of some invisible deity I have a problem with, as it is the truly sickening things humans have done to each other down the centuries on behalf of [random_deity].

Now, as for politics ...

[seanwilliams.livejournal.com]

Agnosticism makes so much more sense. After all, it's impossible to prove a negative, so atheists are always going to be working from an untenable position. Alas, my early reading of Robert Anton Wilson convinced me that I had to believe *something*, and this was all I could stomach. Well, this and the Church of the Subgenius. Jesus Cthulhu (http://ru.aoizora.org/jesus-cthulhu.html) wasn't around back then, alas. :-)
