yep - be spending up in sydney next week then thats it - start saving each week for the real tour
i was only talking to someone this week, he asked me how much id probably spend on pearl jam this time - i told him maybe two g with tix, hotels, petrol, airfair, food ....
again, i was dismissed as being mental :rolleyes:
and that was before he heard the part about Pearl Jam... heh
Twas an honour to meet you last night Kyra, can't wait for tomorrow!
aww you too!! It was fun, i was bit tired though, fridays always suck for me, uni from about 8 then to markets straight after. Normally go home straight after markets and collapse into deep sleep!! But was great to go out and hang out with such lovely people.
What time do you think you'll get there tomorrow night?
Hey Kyra, not sure, i might try convince them to head to the jubilee hotel just down the road from the tivoli for some dinner and a few drinks before hand perhapsh.
Disappointing *tut tut* I only had 3 pages to read :rolleyes:
Having a ball here in Brissy. Wozza, Sam, (my)Glenn and Sarah have just gone off to the GABBA to watch Brissy smash the Dockers
I was spewing cuz all of the Dockers team were on my flight here...BLEK!!!
Friday night (Lost Dogs) was FAN-BLOODY-TASTIC!!!!!! My gawd....it didn't matter what song they played, they nailed it!!!! Twas a very messy night and for once I was the first one to go to bed....at 4am!!! It was great to finally meet you and Steve, Kyra.....Steve's a champion - he must have wondered what the hell he was doing there with all of us freaks :eek:
Well.....I'm off to have a look around the city and prolly get lost... might see if I can find the Opera House LOL!!
My sister and brother-in-law are in Italy so Leigh and I took my niece and nephew to Chronicals of Narnia: Prince Caspian.
Man, the first one sucked....this was much better....but the four main actors still CAN'T ACT!!!
Aslan is cute though. I want one!!!
It's funny because the book version of The Lion The Witxh & The Wardrobe shits all over Prince Caspian imo
The movie version of TLTW&TW stays very close to the book which was extremely satisfying to me, so hopefully Prince Caspian follows the same principle. I think it helps when you have both a director and a producer who are also big fans of the books and know the books inside out.
The next movie, "Voyage of the Dawn Treader" will be the movie to watch out for. That's a great book.
I always found it funny that these books have a great following seeing as though they have VERY strong religious principles running through them eg Aslan = God
I recommend anyone who likes these movies to go and read the books, starting with #1 - The Magician's Nephew

To be honest, I've never read the books! I've only watched the cartoon and I remembered a fair bit but nowhere near ALL of the story. We bought the books before the first movie came out but they're still sitting on our bookshelf. I'll definitely read them one day.
I just wish the main actors were a bit better. That King Peter actor just doesn't do it for me.
Being a fan of the books, how were the actors for you? Did you like the first movie?

I recommend anyone who likes these movies to go and read the books, starting with #1 - The Magician's Nephew
why is it some think TLTW and TW is first in the series?? think there's some controversy over the order :eek: have only read the one.. need to hit the rest i think!
i still haven't gotten around to seeing those!! loved TLTW and TW growing up so this better be good :eek::D
did the kiddies like it?
They're 11 and 14 and they both said the first one was "okaaaay" and they thought this one was much better....but I don't think they loved it or will be raving to their friends about it or anything.
Prince Caspian is quite cute though....if I was 15!

There's not much room for the actors to work with because that's EXACTLY how they're portrayed in the books. I think people forget that these books were written over 50 years ago so everyday dialogue is somewhat different now than what it was then.
Still, the acting is nowhere near as wooden as Hayden Christensen in Star Wars Ep 2 & 3. He was more wooden than Pinnochio

TLTW&TW was written first but the Magician's Nephew is the first in the series. It tells the background story to TLTW&TW (The Professor's connection with Narnia, how the White Witch came to power, why there's a lampost in Narnia etc)
