I think the Barbie movie will be out on July 21st.
That cannot come soon enough. I won’t be seeing it, but I’m tired of all the Pepto-Pink media saturation to promote it.

The star, Margot Robbie has been working ‘overtime’ promoting this film. She’s been everywhere, talking about it. Working alone, with no Ryan Gosling, for the most part. So, making the film is only a part of the actors’ obligation. When it’s done, then you have to travel to and fro, in tireless promotion.
She’s a good sport and can at least pretend she’s enjoying it.

These people are galactically stupid.

No, they are immensely clever, and they run CIRCLES around the moron christians that gave up their civilization to these wicked evil creatures. And the foolish family who signed C.S. Lewis' legacy away for a large sum of shekels without likely any clause in the contract preventing a watering down or "reconstruction" of the original material. Netflix has a feeling they will lose money on Narnia. But they will have likely ruined that franchise for future generations, which makes it OK.

This is all part of the same scenario as Disney. THose lefty lesbos who were working on Frozen II wanted Elsa to be lesbian. You have papa taking the kid to see Frozen II, and papa admires how they can do a pixar platinum blonde.
Those dimwit women were getting excited about wanting to make Elsa a dyke. Pitiful.

If this film does fail or only barely break even, usually the star is the first to be blamed. I don’t think it would happen here, b/c Margot Robbie is mainly known as a decent actress with a fun personality who happens to be hotter than Meghan Fox. IOW, she’s not a power broker yet, not a well known hands on control freak like Angelina Jolie.

Then, people would start to look at the direction or production.
What went wrong there? What flashing red warning lights were ignored, and by whom?

“Why did Lewis’ stepsons, the Gresham brothers, agree to this”

For the same reason the Tolkien heirs let Amazon put their nasty hands on “The Lord of the Rings”

Greed.

I’ll just stick with the original Walden media trilogy.

Why are some people who don’t believe in God so damned obsessed with Him?

I have under appreciated C.S. Lewis as long as I can remember. Narnia was a good movie, if you are into that sort of thing. Not my cuppa...

As far as apologists are concerned in general, I never understood what they were apoligizing for, or why they felt the need to apologize.

Apology - also means a reasoned argument or writing in justification of something, typically a theory or religious doctrine:

They hate the very idea of "God", and they're afraid He might actually exist. So ... they either vigorously and bitterly deny His existence, or they set up various things both real and imaginary in His place.
