Yawn.
Wow, isn't this pretty.
Yawn.
Have we been here all day.
It was a very disjointed sort of movie. It's like they did scenes from the book rather than finding some sort of narrative structure to connect it all together. Characters just are, they don't develop. Reasons for characteristics are just stated never given any background. The four childred are the Kings and Queens of Narnia. Why? Because the prophesy says so. Allright then. All hail the Kings and Queens.
Who do you want to lead our army into battle? The king of course. Has he demonstrated any gift for combat or leadership? Is their something in his background that points towards military brilliance? No, but he is the king. Then let him lead. Off we go.
As I thought about how the kids became king all I cold think of was this quote from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail":
Dennis: [interrupting] Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

So much for the flickr badge idea. Dammit
