Fine! You've convinced me!

I'll do my best to see the Narnia movie. I hope you're happy!

It's been a while since I've read the books, so at least it can't ruin anything. Probably. Well, not worse than realizing that they were just chock-full of Christian symbolism did. Symbolism. What a way to ruin a good book....

I'm boycotting, simply because of the entirely (http://www.newkerala.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=58254) gross (http://www.fortwayne.com/mld/newssentinel/living/13291474.htm) way (http://www.azcentral.com/ent/movies/articles/1008narniamarket1008.html) Disney's been marketing the thing.

I once mentioned to a friend that Narnia just reeked of Christian symbolism.

"That's bullshit! The author was an atheist."

Later the friend and I parted ways forever, and I was wondering why an atheist would write Narnia. Then I found out that he was a devout Catholic.

Most of my other friends say that you can look past the symbolism and enjoy the story. I honestly haven't tried. Either way, I want to see the movie, because I liked the books as a kid.
