Well, since no one’s commented, I thought I might. I took the quiz to find out which Narnian you are. Came out as Prince Caspian. Interesting quiz.

Also read Devin Brown’s Caspian wish list. Yes, good luck at getting any of your wishes fulfilled, Devin. If they listened to any of your suggestions, I’m sure it’d be a better movie. But since they won’t, I don’t have any hopes for it being anything other than the typical Hollywood schlock.

Yeah the quiz was interesting. I came out as Peter. As far as the film, I know it will be different from the books in some respects. There are some scenes from the various trailers that I know are not in the book itself. I still can’t wait to see it though.

I came out as Reepicheep. Don’t quite know how that makes me feel and what the expectations are. Should I start signing myself as King of Rats? Might that not be misunderstood? And how about the tail question? The fact that I don’t protest my lack of one, does that make me morally superior to Reepicheep? Should I be aspiring to Aslan next? Is that blasphemous? Is that why he wasn’t an option in the quiz?

How peurile I am. Maybe I’m not ready to be Reepicheep. I should definitely be an Edmund. So impulsive. Making decisions without considering the consequences.

Better than being a rat who can’t plan, though.

I scored a 60 and I am, apparently, Lucy.

This was a lousy, skewed quiz and I don’t know how they get their results. The questions were bonkers. Who in their right mind would run out onto the road to a dog that’s in immenent danger of being hit by a car? Risk your own life and the driver’s and make orphans of your children for a dumb dog? Get real.

Thanks for the links, though!

The questions also ask for absolute answers where sometimes the answer depends on having more information. For instance, in the scenario of the dog in the street, for me it depends on whether it’s my dog or not. I would absolutely try to run out and save my dog (within reason of course. I’m not going to orphan my son to do so). But if it was just a random stray dog, I would probably just stand on the side of the road and either flag down the driver or try to call the dog to me.
Another example would be the TV commercial about starving kids in Africa. I generally wouldn’t rush to the phone to give my support to that organization, but only because I already support other organizations that already do that. I usually don’t like the fact that those TV ads try to guilt you into giving. I prefer a calmer more rational sales pitch, and from an organization that I know and trust.
So most of those questions have a lot of “It depends” attached to them. On top of that, they are arbitrarily attaching values to the options that they do have for you. So yeah, it’s only minimal entertainment value I think.

Oh, and I scored as a Lucy too.

I was in a bookstore today and saw a row of shelves full of Prince Caspian merchandise.

I picked up one book and looked at the cover and it filled me with ire and dismay. It read:

“Based of the new feature film”

What!?

Let’s hope the book lives up to the movie then.

I don’t know which explanation is worse: that the person who did the cover blurb is trying to market the book by appealing to the (presumably) broader movie audience, or if he/she honestly doesn’t know that the book is the original source. Either way, it feels like a step back from the days when the kids (and grown-ups) were waiting outside the book stores for the release of DH.

It’s enough to fill a grown man with dismire.
