No you're not. I edited that.

The Narnia films being mentioned? Ooh yes, get on with it, studio! Been waiting for the continuation for years! Not that the films have been amazing, but I am a fan of the books. The Silver Chair should work well on its own as a fantasy film, with its content of giants and underground thingymajigs, etc... (Okay, I can't remember much of it at the minute.) Pessimistic Puddleglum! What a character. Tom Baker ('70s Doctor Who) played him in the BBC series.

Agreed that The Horse and His Boy could be a tad dodgy. It might have worked 20 years ago. Now, they'd probably have to make the Calormen more like the baddies in Prince Caspian, rather than showing a blatant religion similarity. It's quite a different tone to the other films, not even taking place in Narnia for much of it, so I'm not sure audiences would receive it really well. I'd like to see The Magician's Nephew adapted, but again they would need to consider how to appropriate for a wider audience. The beginning of the book is sound, with poorly mum, magic rings, different worlds and all that, but how to show the 'creation' side without putting people off by the obvious Christian-creation-story parallels. I like the books as they are and don't like too much changed; however it is the film industry and things will - and, sometimes, must - be changed. 

Anyway, as you were...

[MeadowR]

What 'season' are they even on now? Think I must have only seen the original and then half of the second. Quite some time back, now.

[The Skarzs]

I don't even care. It isn't worth my time.

All I know about Pokemon is Pikachu. Also there's a cute turtle one I think. And a weird turnip one.

^ Gasp! Back in the day... when some of you weren't even born yet (yikes!), I was hugely into Pokemon. My interest waned after a few years, although I still enjoyed the earlier games. And there it is, still going, years later...

[Jukka the Sling]

I just... don't really get Pokémon?  Is it primarily a game, a TV show, or what?  And what exactly are the Pokémon supposed to be?

[Delthion]

Demonic creatures...

[The Skarzs]

They're the animals of that universe, I guess. So that means they eat them too.
Which also means they're basically forcing animals to fight. Which is illegal.


Pokemon is advocating animal pit fights and cruelty.

My abs are sore. From crunches. Crunches! Crunches are easy! I shouldn't be sore. Granted, I did do ninety of them...

[Rosie Willowwater]

Yo, @Ashleg aren't you supposed to be hosting this cellars election?

[Jetthebinturong]

Pokémon is primarily a game series. The anime and the card game are not canon to the main universe.

Pokémon is pretty messed up if you think about it (though it is portrayed the most Pokémon like to battle and doing so increases their bond with their trainer) but it's fun and creative and the Pokémon themselves are awesome. I could name all 804 Pokémon.

[Jukka the Sling]

Thanks for the explanation.

All 804? O.O

[The Skarzs]

I think most of them are their evolutions.
