so, two things.

1) O. MG. Narnia blew me away. I.. had tears from sheer joy a few times, I was so, so happy, at how absolutely perfect it was. I mean ok not absolutely, there were some changes and things made up, but really? I didn't mind a single one of them, they were either minor things (shorter time span when the wolves are hunting down the pevensies and the beavers) or things that pulled out character things (peter's uncertainty about leading in a battle), things like that, which I really didn't mind.

Debating a little on the White Witch's dreadlocks *giggles* but aside from that.. And I want to go check back on the stone table scene, I mean some things were left out and that was fine, but.. they kinda didn't really show the stone knife, which struck me as odd. And I don't recall there being that much structure around the table, but that I'm really not sure on. But again, very minor things.

It was absolutely gorgeously done, the cinematography was just beautiful, the music was nicely done, the acting and effects all perfect - which I'd worried about a little. I didn't catch a single bad note in the digital effects, which's rare. *dancing* I'm so happy. ^____________^

Tumnus was darling, I love him more than ever. And the kids they had playing the main roles were perfect - not quite how I'd pictured them when reading, but that's because the characters got older as I did each time I re-read. *g*

So yeah. Deeefinitely gets my highest recommendations.



2) Bono is one of Time's people of the year, him and the Gateses, for all their work on world poverty and things. ^_______________________^ Article here. That made me so, so happy to see this morning...

...only it was really, really odd at the same time, and I felt all the closer to it somehow - I dreamed about Bono last night, first time in a long while. Only.. I dreamed that he was sad, *really* sad, almost to despair.. I was sitting down and he was kneeling on the ground, his head in my lap, holding onto me, and I onto him, there were a few other people around.. and all that they said hurt him more, I could see it.. they were saying things about all of his outside work, his work for charity and debt relief and how much politics he'd gotten into, and I don't remember if they were mocking him or saying that they expected more.. but I knew he was upset because he felt the burden was so heavy, and that people saw him as much more than he felt he was.. he kept saying he was just a singer.. and they expected so much more of him, and he couldn't live up to it.. and my heart broke for him, I could see.. it had broken him as well... so I held him near and tried to tell the others to stop, to leave him alone...

...so his grim expression on the cover of Time really struck me this morning. I really don't know..it was just strange.
