It's my favourite of the boo...1) I loved VotDT! It's my favourite of the books so I obviously preferred it to Prince Caspian and they really did the book justice. That might just be because I haven't re-read it recently but still. I liked how they kept in the really clear metaphor of how Eustace couldn't take off the dragon skin himself but Aslan could for him and all that. I didn't necessarily like Prince Caspian less, I think it's just different considering that it's set during war time rather than peace although my biggest gripe with the film is that they had to put a kiss in it. Spoilt my enjoyment of the whole thing! Well, slight exaggeration...<br />2)Question: have you read Dracula? (Not that I have so it's a bit of a pointless question) I'm just curious whether it's just sparkly vampires you avoid or whether "classics" are OK.<br />3) Oh, back to VotDT. 3D or 2D? If 3D, what did you think? I thought it was mainly only good on the water bits and at other times the annoyance of having to wear glasses over glasses out-weighed the 3D benifits. If both. Comparison?<br />4) I believe £30 covers a Rubik's cube and some WH Smiths branches sell them... ?? lol =) OR I tunes vouchers? or are you like me and generally prefer to get the physical CD?<br />5) Skype. I have skype but have only used it a couple of times to talk to my dad. Once to try it out, once because he was away. Although the conversation did divebomb into him trying to use all the funny animations that his webcam can do...<br />6) Question: How did you get that planet so round?!<br />7) re: Cylinder and Miserable #1127 - I thought of Doctor Who when banana milkshake was mentioned. Am I obsessed or is there actually any link? =)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18194024676414713937noreply@blogger.com
