i cannot help myself, i'm just doing what i do

[hardparade]

The website Trailer Addict has a whole bunch of Narnia videos. There are a couple of behind-the-scenes reels, and then some interviews. As usual my focus is mostly shallow...I am probably not the most informative news source in the world for this fandom but EVERYONE IS SO PRETTY AND IN LOVE.

This video starts with Caspian putting his arm around Lucy and walking off with her, then Edmund calling him back, and Caspian doing the same with him. IF THE WHOLE MOVIE IS THIS TOUCHY-FEELY I'M NOT SURE I'M GOING TO COPE. Caspian and Edmund's swordfight looks cooool. And also pretty hot. Woah, the water flooding into the bedroom looks AWESOME. Lol at them all flailing around. And lol at the dufflepuds scene.

It's weird seeing Michael directing Georgie, he seems to interact with her quite differently to how Andrew did. Also, that scene looks so pretty and awesome. AWW Georgie "WOW!! Aw, that's REALLY cool." Lol at Liam reading Aslan's lines while wearing a baseball cap. Man, voice-acting must be weird.

Why do Georgie and Skandar look so miserable, and/or sleepy? Awww and Will P. says he's made 'friends for life'. ALSO HOW IS IT POSSIBLE FOR A PERSON TO BE AS POLITE AS WILL P. IS. He starts answering a question, and isn't even interrupting anyone but even so he apologises and offers the question to the others. And then they all tell the Smithsonian Zoo to call a lion cub Aslan. Random. (Also, unexpected reaction to this video: I could go for some Skandar/Georgie right now. Wut.)

Tilda Swinton. ♥ "She really scares them, and they never quite get over it, I think that's pretty much...Edmund particularly, I think, never quite gets over...she's always there, as she says, you know, 'You can't kill me off. I'm always there. Forever in your mind.'" CHILLS. I really need some Tilda/Skandar or Edmund/Jadis in my life. Also, her hair looks awesome.

Can I just say how much I love that one of the bullet points for Ben's interview is actually 'Will Poulter'? Awesome. "I've never met someone who plays a character further from themselves. He is the sweetest, most apologetic, effusive, you know, young man you could ever hope to meet, and he's playing this awful, bolshy, nasty piece of work who gets on everybody's nerves. And I found it actually almost impossible to play irritated with him at the beginning, and so I just made a choice that actually, King Caspian would find Eustace amusing, like a sort of amusing new creature that's landed on his ship, because there was literally no way I wasn't gonna be able to smile during his rants." ♥ IS ANYONE ELSE REALLY SHIPPING THIS? C'monnn. Ben, I think YOU'RE the one being 'effusive'. Look at the love all over his face. And that description is just...I don't think he could love him more. THIS WAS UNEXPECTED.

The thing is, though, Ben's not really exaggerating. WILL IS SO LOVELY.

Skandar...looks really really good in this video. I like what he says about Narnia making him more confident too and wishing everyone could have that experience.

Lol, Skandar saying it was different coming onto set as an 18 year old, because when he was 12 he could just run around and do whatever he wanted but this time he had to be an ~adult.

Awww Andrew talking about how the kids have all grown up. He says it's been really exciting 'this week' to get all four kids back together, but bittersweet because it was such a short time. I really love Andrew's relationship with them all because he's seen them grow up and he was sort of like a father to them on set and idk.


So I kinda ran out of steam but there are a bunch more videos here—interviews, stuff from the premiere, and clips from the actual movie. EXCITEMENT: I HAVE IT.

I see what you're saying, but I really do think it's just 'in the eyes of society' like you said. There's nothing inherent about women that actually makes us look less attractive with wrinkles and eyebags (personally, I like them, they give character), it's just that that's what we've been taught by society. We're rarely shown images of women that haven't been touched up so every sign of aging is erased, and if we do see those images, it's usually in an article attacking the woman for looking that way. Adverts for anti-aging creams and hair dye target women most of the time, too. And in contrast, we're always told that men look wise and distinguished or whatever if they have grey hair or wrinkles. But the truth is, everyone's different. Some older men look great, some don't. Some older women look great, some don't.

Idk, it's probably easy for me to say this as a twenty year old, but it really does make me sad that women are made to stress out about aging like this. It's natural and there's no reason to think you're going to be any less beautiful.

Anyway. Rant over. Sorry. XD

OH right! Okay. I thought you were saying that was how you actually felt, rather than that's how things are made to seem. Or whatever. But ugh, you're right - when an older man is attractive, no one really bats an eye, but it's always a big deal if an older woman looks particularly good. And, it seems like most of the time when an older woman is complimented on her looks, it's for looking younger than her age anyway. SIGH.

I know what you mean about having to sort of fight against society in the sense of feeling good about yourself. And I can't believe people are saying things like that to you! Or like, about themselves, if they're your age. That's just crazy to me. Mid-20s is still really young!

I don't, but man, I can imagine that would annoy me too. What does 'looking young' in terms of an outfit even mean, anyway?

The immature approach seems to be the best one in this case, haha. XD
