Perfection

We went to Narnia at 9pm last night, which would have been fine if it was an ordinary length movie. Unfortunately it's nine hours long so when we came out Lee wanted to talk about stuff from the movie and I was some sort of achey neck zombie who just needed bed.

Actually, I would have been quite happy to say nothing at all about it, just let it sink in. I guess this is how people who've read the Lord of the Rings book felt when the movie turned out good?

Simply put: I loved the Narnia movie. I found it to be utterly what I imagined as a kid. I was lush and spooky and friendly and epic in all the right places. I thought the child actors were all astonishingly good, especially Lucy who seems so young! (Ok, she's ten, that's not that young...hummm...must be small for her age.)

Without spoilers I'll just say one more thing: Perfection. I am so satisfied with this movie that it was like eating a roast turkey dinner. Even though it was long it didn't feel it. It took it's time where it had to and skimmed over bits that weren't important. I want Susan's green dress, and the silver one from the end.

Ok, that was more than one more thing.

I have a wedding dress fitting this afternoon, then a bitsy of Christmas shopping and it's up the coast for dinner and party.
