The Call

One of my favorite songs written and performed by Regina Spektor for the movie The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.

I love the lyrics; they relate to Peter and Susan (haha) but also to my life this summer and probably to everyone's life at one time.

It made me cry for both reasons :)

The Call

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word
And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry
I'll come back when you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war
Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling that no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget
Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes
You'll come back when they call you
No need to say goodbye
You'll come back when they call you
No need to say goodbye

Thirteen

I absolutely love this movie.

Coincidentally, I saw this when I was thirteen, alone in my bedroom. Now I wasn't like what they show in the movie, but I thought even at that age that this was a good eye opener. The three leading actresses (Holly Hunter, Evan Rachel Wood, and Nikki Reed (who was in Twilight)) are absolutely amazing. This is totally a health class movie but if you watch it on your own time, it is definitely worth it.

Go rent it. It is breathtaking.

Disney Animated Film Original Posters

Two of my favorite original posters! (The Tarzan one is pretty too but I couldn't find a pic of that one)

Narnia

I love Narnia. I am obsessed with Narnia.

When the first one came out, I saw it 5 TIMES in theatres. And I have the soundtrack. The scores are beautiful.

This morning I watched Prince Caspian. I have to say William Moseley and Ben Barnes are SO HOT. Skandar Keynes? Not so much :)

And now I am in Narnia Depression.

The first movie was a happy ending. Especially with the end credit song "Can't Take It In" by Imogen Heap. Beautiful! The Pevensies didn't mean to leave, they just happened to. And the last line was a joke!

Prince Caspian was not a happy ending AT ALL. Especially if you love Peter and Susan; they are my favorite characters. AND THEY'RE NOT COMING BACK! And they have to finish it off with a beautiful but depressing song "The Call" by Regina Spektor. PETER'S NOT COMING BACK, AND SUSAN'S NOT COMING BACK AT ALL. PISS YOU LEWIS.

In The Last Battle, they all die. Literally. Sorry to ruin it for you, but Peter, Lucy, and Edmund are killed in a train wreck. Boo hoo. They all return to "heaven" Narnia. BUT WHAT ABOUT SUSAN??? Nope, she doesn't believe in Narnia anymore. Ugh. At least Lewis was quoted "I'd like to think that Susan will get there in her own way". WELL YOU WROTE THE FREAKING BOOK.

I am just so frustrated! They are not coming back. They are not coming back. UGHHHHHHH!

And Anna Popplewell, along with her gorgeousness and luckiness to be able to work with B.B. and W.M., gets to study at Oxford. IN ENGLAND! Well, yeah she's from there, but still. I WANT TO STUDY AT OXFORD! Too bad I'm not going to become a Rhodes Scholar in the near future. Thank you Martha.

I am jealous.
