I’ve enjoyed your movie reviews!

I first read the books when I was 10 or so, and have re-read them many times. I’m a crank about the text, when I’ve read the text - don’t get me started on the “Lord of the Rings” movies! - but I’ll try to put myself in a tolerant frame of mind before I go!

The vanity I linked (above) was in response to my noticing increased tolerance on this board for profanity and vulgarity. I think we can do better than the DU/kos cesspools.

So, my post was as bad as those guys? Like I said, I didn't interrupt a prayer group here or anything. I'm always respectful. This is a thread about Liam Neeson, I would think a bit of levity would be deserved.

Walter Hooper, Lewis’s former secretary and a trustee of his estate, said that the author would have been angered by Neeson’s comments.

BTTT!

Thanks for posting that link.
I have to agree with goseminoles’ post #12 in that thread - the nastiness quotient and intolerance of others’ opinions is/are WAY up

But, yeah, I’m not arguing with the forces that be. If that’s how things are to be run, I’ll think whatever I will of that. That’s fine. That’s what Conservatism, Property Rights and Individualism are all about. Voting with our feet is all that matters. Take care.

That is okay...Liam is a talented man, but woefully ignorant if he thinks Lewis would write such a tale.

Liam Neeson has caused controversy by suggesting that Aslan, the Christlike character in C.S. Lewis’s Narnia books, could represent the prophet Mohammed or Buddha.

LOL! Another mindless comment by an ignoramous libby who neither read the book nor knows nothing of the author.

Pathetic, but funny in a "poking an idiot with a stick" kind of way.

These people seriously need help. They have been infected with a madness that spreads by a communication process.

Aslan is the representation of Christ

Mohammad wouldn’t lead children away from evil - he would lead them to his harem....considering the so-called prophet married a 6 yr old girl! Raped who knows how many young girls and women....he’s anything other than being sent from Heaven!

The moslems knows it and so is everyone else...things are going to change despite Holloywood’s attempt to keep us in the dark

Well, you’ve caused me absolutely no personal harm, so what can I say but ‘Thanks.’ Have a blessed day. :-)

Correct me if I’m wrong here, but Aslan didn’t bone a nine year-old.

Profanity is a sure sign of a poor vocabulary.

Well Aslan could be Mohammed... If he started committing rape, pedophilia, and lopped of a few heads of those who refused to follow him.

Exactly what is the purpose of misspelling vulgar words? Simply to escape auto filters. Arguing that you aren't “really” saying something vulgar because you misspelled it, is the argument of a child.

You hire secular actors then you’ll have them say foolish things like this. But it’s well documented who Lewis was, his beliefs and his intention for the character. That can’t be unwritten by an actor.

Why do folks even listen to what Liam Neeson has to say?

What do you expect from someone who married into the RED grave clan?

Actors are nothing more then Meat Puppets. And their opinions have all the depth and complexity one would expect from any puppet.
