Footnote

Nth Position magazine presents this letter from C.S. Lewis as showing that he "would have vehemently rejected adaptation" of his books to film or television. I think it shows the opposite, that he did not object in principle, but thought that it couldn't be done by actors in costumes.

That's exactly how it reads to me. Not that I care, anyway- the only objection that matters to me is my own. And I feel about Narnia the way I felt about Tolkien- bad idea to put this stuff on film.

(Interesting navbar on that site- at least on my monitor. I like the way the "links" tab sits in the center.)

Y'know, until you said that, it hadn't occurred to me it wasn't deliberate (on my monitor, it's "contributors", "discussion" and "links" - is this a subtle attempt to sell me a larger monitor?)

I feel about most books that it's unnecessary to put this stuff on film; I suppose it makes more sense from the film's point of view than from the book's.

(And allow me to say that your current icon introduces a whole new aspect of your personality - I had not previously suspected the existence of a twinkly seasonal Stencil!)

twinkly seasonal Stencil!

In all the world, two people know about that side of me. One of them made the userpic.
