I meant to get up this morning and write out my thinky thoughts on Narnia, but then I had to lie abed ridiculously late. But now, I meta!

I think that maybe Prince Caspian isn't that great as a movie. I think the first half, especially, might be very confusing to people who are not me. One of the advantages these people have with me is that I don't just love Narnia, I consider it bloody well sacred. Just saying "Aslan's How" or "the Horn" is going to get me there. So I go in, as it were, pre-disposed for bliss. But I also got the bliss, big time. and when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again. )

Gilly linked to a post in [livejournal.com profile] despatches on Jack Sparrow being broken down in pairing fanfic, located here. It surprised me, because in truth that's my biggest disappointment with the Pirates franchise - they didn't break Jack Sparrow down.

We keep wanting to have these characters in our shiny things who are bad and brash and silver-tongued. Han Solo, Jack Sparrow, Dean Winchester. There's a definite mystique there. But my instinctual response to that sort of character is to assume that they're wearing a mask, and to want to tear it off of them. To break down the inhuman hostility of masks and beings. )
