...and there were some really good effects of griffons/gyphons there.

lol that movie was a lot better than i expected it to be, and i expected it to rock

just ignore the blatant Christianity references and you're fine

Ghryphen · 01-01-2006, 05:29 PM

I want to see it

Raiyven · 01-01-2006, 06:43 PM

it was something else, to say the least.

The death and rebirth motif goes back much further than christianity

Matrix Revolutions, now, was blatant

Favourite character: Aslan

Rai, do remember that CS Lewis was an Anglican apologist.

Cerberus · 01-02-2006, 02:01 PM

CS Lewis ROCKS Go JESUS!

Raiyven · 01-02-2006, 05:18 PM

lol Jester. Is that what his sect is? Neat. I don't know much about Anglicanism really... a British history course i took last summer tried its best to explain all the Christian divisions to me, and i'm still lost. What is the bend of Anglicans again?

Cerberus · 01-02-2006, 09:49 PM

The Aglican Church was created by King Henry the VIII i believe because the Pope wouldn't grant him a divorce, so it's basically Catholic with the English monarch the head of the church instead of the pope. ;D http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglican_church

Raiyven · 01-03-2006, 07:06 AM

ah, Wikipedia. One of my professors looked at me funny when I wanted to cite it

Cerberus · 01-03-2006, 08:38 AM

I actually knew all that stuff, then, included a link for your perusal.

Wikipedia is gaining notoriety up to the Britannica level.

I do believe the Anglicans are going to have trouble when Prince Charles becomes king and head of the Anglican Church. Kinda funny when you think about how it got started.

yeah, Wiki's an awesome source for info, but a LOT of schools (postsecondary) reject it because you -never- know whether the information posted is scholarly or not.

Personally, i like it

I've done a couple articles on there

It was a great book. And I hear it's a kick-ass movie too.
