The Lion, the Witch, and You

[vettecat]

Anyone want to go see "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" with us next Saturday night (12/10)? We'll probably be going to a 7 p.m. showing; most likely choices are Fenway, Chestnut Hill, or Dedham. Let me know if you're interested, and I'll keep you posted as specifics develop. Thanks!

(Fair warning: I haven't read the Narnia books, so I won't know what's missing. sdavido did his doctoral dissertation on them, so he'll probably notice all kinds of things you've never thought about...)

Oh that would be SO cool to see it with sdavido! I'd love to all of us go see it together, then repair to our house, stick the kids in front of toys upstairs, and sit around drinking wine or tea and discussing the movie! Darn geography! :-(

That does sound like fun! I don't think it'll work for this particular showing, but how far from Boston are you? Maybe we can meet you halfway sometime.

Heh. About 4 hours. And let me tell ya, 4 hours with young kids... well... ;-)

Actually, to be fair, they were *really* good on the trip to Milford MA for thanksgiving!

Clearly you'll have to plan a visit here next summer and we'll rent it on DVD (if we don't love it and buy it). We have plenty of room in the cabin right on the lake.

Uh, MEW? Trust me, I'm buying it. Even if it's bad, I'm buying it. We'll bring it by, and a Summer Narnia party would be fun.

Hmmmm. Wonder if there's a venue up there I could give a talk on the film and my work? We could go up to meet with ya all, and I could give the talk on a Sunday or something . . . Can you think of any group that would be interested? Gas money would be a help, of course, and I wouldn't turn down an honorarium *grin*, but I think this would be a SPIFFY event for a Unitarian Church, given what I've done with the material and the current interest.

Heck, if that pans out maybe we could come earlier . . . It's affordable if the Church or Organization says "Go see the 10am showing, and then come back here at 2pm for a talk . . . I could even do one for adults and one for kids . . . *evil grin*

I don't know if that's realistic when you add in the 4-hour drive...
