"Things Never Happen the Same Way Twice...."

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian was a fun movie.  I bought tickets right after work yesterday for me, my two beautiful daughters, and the Pirate Queen, so we could attend an opening night showing.

This story is filled with lovable characters. Reepicheep,  an adorable mouse with a sword; Trufflehunter, an aritculate and loyal badger; Trumpkin, a sarcastic dwarf; and then there are the Pevensie siblings- Lucy, Edmund, Peter, and Susan.

The four kids get transported back to Narnia by Prince Caspian calling them with Susan's magic horn. They arrived to find that a thousand years have gone by since their last visit, and quickly realize they are there to help Prince Caspian take his throne back from King Miraz, putting the Telmarines out of power, and giving Narnia back to the Narnians.

Did I mention this movie also has one kick-ass castle?

In addition to watching this cool tale of mythology, I was also subjected to a preview of one of the most awful-looking movies I have ever seen. 
No kidding.

What is so disturbing (to me) is that it's a Disney movie. How the hell did they go from Fantasia, Snow White, and Beauty and the Beast to that?

I just cannot imagine anyone (even stupid people) spending $8.50 to watch that mess. 

Chihuahuas?

those fricken chihuahuas scared the piss out of me.

i think a bug flew into my mouth when it was hanging open watching that preview...in fact, the feel of the bug's crunchy exoskeleton being crushed between my molars was only slightly less disgusting than the idea of the movie itself...
