I outgrew Narnia. I've reread the books every so often but when I tried reading them again, they didn't hold the same charm they used to. How do people grow up so fast?
Last night I got into a massive Classics mood and dug out our copies of Cleopatra, Spartacus, and Gone with the Wind. I watched about half of Cleopatra before thinking a) Julius Caesar was cast completely wrong and b) Elizabeth Taylor can really over act.. she was acting like Madonna in Evita, but where Madonna's overacting fit the musical, Liz Taylor's seemed so noticeably bad. Maybe it's because I was comparing this Cleopatra with the ABC version that showed a while back. Then I was watching Gone with the Wind (one of the best movies ever) when I was called away to do some mischief. Hee hee.
