The beautiful Ivy Miranda tagged me for this!  Thanks, Ivy. {Rules} - no lies allowed. if an answer is too shameful to expose you may substitute the answer with a gif/image of someone drinking tea. - there are optional bonus additions to questions but these are not for the faint of heart. - if you complete the tag having answered every question + the bonus additions (no gifs used), you are dubbed a certified tea chugger, and you deserve a badge to show the world that you are not afraid of a steaming hot cup of TRUTH. - tag at least one other person (a tea party with just one is not very fun. trust me.) untagged persons are more than welcome to fill it out as well (nothing cooler than crashing a tea party). {Questions} what is a 'bad' (generally disliked) movie that you actually love? The Phantom Menace , maybe?  I don't know if that one is generally disliked or just generally mocked (which, fair).  Either way, I enjoy it.  Some other candidates (except I won't conc...

I've toyed with the idea of fancasting more of the Narnia books for quite some time.  I've already shared my vision for The Magician's Nephew  (which you can read here ), and I'm (for the most part) satisfied with the Warner Bros. adaptations of TLTWATW, Prince Caspian , and TVOTDT.  But what about the three remaining Chronicles ?  What about them, pray?  Sure, The Silver Chair has technically already been adapted by the BBC, but — well.  "Perhaps, on this point, it will be as well to be silent."   (Actually, I quite like the BBC version of TSC, from what I remember.  "Laugh all you choose, but you will not laugh me out of my opinion," and all that.  It's simple and cozy and faithful to the book.  However, I do think it's fair to say that we could do with an upgrade at this point. *ahem*) So!  Since I just reread all seven Chronicles this May, I decided to bite the bullet and go ahead and make a dream cast for The Silver Chair ...

Well, well, well, if it isn't that time of year again. I'm joining forces once more with my partners in crime, Rachel and Heidi , to bring you the latest installment of our annual Western blog party, Legends of Western Cinema Week. This year, the party will run July 25-29.  There'll be a tag, reviews, probably a game or two, and who knows what else?  Also, we need you to contribute!  Any post idea you have that involves Westerns, we want to see it. This party always ensures that I watch at least a few Westerns a year, and I love it for that.  I also love the sense of community it evokes, as any good blog party should. 😉  Looking forward to celebrating all things Western with you! P.S.  Feel free to spread the word with one of these event buttons!  We want as many people as possible to participate. 😃 Are you excited about Legends of Western Cinema Week?
