Narnia movie news from NarniaWeb: Walden Media's film option expired, and there is a moratorium period before the Lewis Estate can sell the rights again. So when that period is up, the estate might sell the rights to Walden again, or they might go elsewhere. However, as they note, Douglas Gresham is committed to seeing all seven movies made, so... there's that.
To be perfectly honest, I've had to write the Walden movies off as their own AU, more so even than the LOTR movies. They're good enough for what they are--the actors are fine, and the visuals are amazing--but having grown up with the BBC versions, which might not look pretty but are almost word for word from the books... Dawn Treader, especially, felt very meh, given the ridiculous plot arc that they shoehorned in (what, just *finding* the seven lords wasn't enough?!) and the fact that they got the islands completely out of order. They did get the undragoning mostly right, though, so that's... something.
Speaking of Narnia, I *finally* finished the Winchesters-watching-LWW fic I've been poking at for a couple of years! It's here, along with a couple of other![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
hoodie_time pieces. (I owe y'all a fic roundup, don't I? Maybe I'll remember to do that this week. Those of you who've friended me just for the fic might be better served watching sarosefics instead, though.)
ETA: Also, MONKEES FANS (and others who like oldies)! There's a new Internet radio show called "Niagara Falls"--short for "Needle In A Groove, Absolutely Righteous Analog, Forty-Fives and LPs Living Still"--that's on at 7 Central on Tuesdays and Thursdays, rebroadcast Sunday afternoons from 3 to 5, AND one of tonight's features is the Monkees' "Goin' Down" followed by the song on which it was based, Mose Allison's "Parchman Farm"! Check it out here. :D
