The discussion continues with a post I had last November on flying concerts, and my pick was Simple Minds, “Don’t You Forget about Me”. It seems some people had strong opinions otherwise. Many of my trolls gave me a earful that Pink’s Glitter in the Air at the Grammys was not on the list. I must say that her performance in terms of choreography was supreme, and she clearly is in physical shape to hit the notes in those positions. I won’t link the site due to her rather scantily dress, but that aside it is an amazing performance.
Over the holidays, I did take in a movie, which is rare for me. I average a movie about twice a year. The Voyage of Dawn Treader. The kid who played Eustace was a superb actor, and I thought represented the character well. Of course, the effects were stellar. The waterfall scene where Reepicheep goes to Aslan’s Land was probably the most explicit Christian narrative in the film and was moving but they did leave out significant lines.
The movie did drag on at times, and failed to be as detailed with the actual passage as the book, but that is to be expected. The filmmakers I thought took some liberties with Lucy’s obsession with her and her sister’s looks than Lewis did. All in all, I preferred it over Prince Caspian, but not as much as the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. I think diehard Lewis fans while critiquing some portions of the film will be moderately pleased.
