If only it would actually have the FILMS.
I'm not trying to bring my fanboyism down, but seriously, I really can't see the shows lating that long.

But I highly doubt it will be, with how popular the books have been, no doubt this thing will really take off. Childrens' fantasy is the type of thing that sells these days. But then again, you never know.
I was actually surprised with how well Narnia did, I wasn't expecting it to be as popular as it was. The things that make the books so great doesn't translate to the screen very well, and the Christian community took to it like mad. It was kind of annoying to pass church buildings and see them advertising it on their signs. I don't even think Lewis would have like it being pushed so much as an allegory, something he was not to fond of. He had an interesting idea in mind when he wrote it, and he added a good dose of his personal theology to it, which he did with most of his fiction. But people take it now as event for event allegory of the gospels, which it is not. People write books about it and give sermons on it, for Pete's sake, if it is what you are trying to make it be, then it is a bit redundant isn't it? Why should you have to wrap your Bible stories in fantay before you can throughly appreciate them. Eleminate the middle man, when you want a Bible story pick up your Bible. Narnia is much more than that. Anyone who has read much of Lewis' works will understand this. Lewis himself admited to not being the fondest of allegory, and said that people tend to take it to extremes and see things that were not intended by the author (too true!), this is most certainly the case with his books.

I agree. There are parts of the story that are obviously strongly influenced by it, but (A, the allegory goes much deeper, making the story about childhood growing up, and other themes, and (B, definining it soley as such great dimishines the power of a wonderful piece of writing.

I'm not saying she looks bad. She looks pretty good for a woman her size. But that's definitely not just curves she has.

"Jennifer Ellison is like a size fucking six - she's not curvy... curvy's when you've got a bit of weight all over, instead of having heavy tits."
Charlotte Church
Or maybe it's just me. I just find her a bit...much.
As far as I can see with Sara Ramirez, she's actually kind of chubby, which is probably why most of her pictures show her almost fully clothed.

?Curvy? That's what I call fat.
She's....full bodied. I'd hardly call her fat; besides, to be curvy, you need a bit of weight. She's a damned sight prettier than lots of the stick figures that the media parades around. If anyone ever figures out why Paris Hilton is attractive, will they please let me know?
I...guess. Maybe I'm thinking of curvy as fuller or "big-boned," so to speak.
Likewise, Jennifer Ellison has plenty of curves in all the right places.

Curves does not have to equal fat though.
I agree.
Take a look at Candice Michelle. She's definitely got curves, but she's not fat.

I suppose not. But I think that she's got a certain sensuality about her that I like with her Latina look. As I say, she doesn't jump out like supermodel, but that's what I like about her.

It really is hard to say how Star Wars is perceived these days. I don't think the general population flat out hates the prequels, but I do think they are just getting indifferent to Star Wars in general. I only say that because the same thing happened in the 80s, people move on.

Perfectly valid point. I think that Lucas's track record for TV is a factor, but you're right that they probably didn't sit down and go "lets have a look at EVERYTHING that this guy ever made."

There is room for cautious optimism; Jackson COULD come back. If the movie gods smile upon me. It's looking more and more like it, and New Line would be awful stupid to pass up another billion dollars.
Evidently, Peter Berg is interested in making Dune. Not quite sure how I feel about that, but maybe he'll surprise me. I can't help but wish that it was someone else, but a wish is just that. Just as long as Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson are kept THE HELL AWAY from the screenplay.
Anyone have personal picks for a Dune director?
David Lynch- I'd love to see him do it as he always intended.
Terry Gilliam- Need I say more?
And Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy will only get made if Northern Light (AKA The Golden Compass) is successful.
