i'm so starstruck, baby could you blow my heart up?

[hardparade]

Some interview quotes from here and some photos from the press junket. I wish Will P. had been there!

Asked if there's a possibility that there may be more "Narnia" movies in his future, Ben quipped, "I approached the producers at the after party, after watching very carefully how many glasses of champagne they had. I made sure they had at least three before I broached the question. Caspian is a 70-year-old man, so either they're going to have to bring Howard Berger (the series' makeup artist) and his team and I'm going to wake up very early in the morning or they'll get someone older."

Ahaha, oh Ben.

A young girl with attractive large eyes and the most disarming smile when we met her for the first "Narnia" movie, Georgie recalled that time: "I was very lucky, because I was always paired with James McAvoy, who was great. We had so much fun filming, so we had a lot of fun talking about making the movie. I felt sorrier for the journalists who were interviewing us than for us, because we'd go off on all these tangents, have those inside jokes, and fall asleep. They just had to deal with it—but, yeah, James was really cool to do all my interviews with. I was such a hyper 10-year-old at the time. I take my hat off to him."

♥ Lol. I wonder if she still stays in touch with James at all. I hope so.

Skandar recounted his first encounter with Georgie. "I met her in one of the first auditions I had," he began. "I remember, I was terrified at the whole experience. I was like a deer caught in the headlights. I remember seeing her, and she was very energetic and was bouncing off the walls. I was very intimidated by the whole thing and all the new people.
"But, it was great to get to know her and the other cast, as well. We've all grown together as a family. Everyone gets put in these situations, where you're stuck together and you have to make sure that everything's good. There were never any real arguments. Everything just worked out. We all clicked and we were very grateful for that."

Idk this is just cute.

I leave you with a Skandar in hysterics:




In other news, I'm thinking of putting another kink meme up after Christmas, and I have a new layout! :) (I'm not totally happy with it, but I don't think I ever am. I'm so picky.)

aww this Skandar gif is so precious!

[likecharity.livejournal.com]

I know! So cute.

[theholeskey.livejournal.com]

Ben is so funny and i just noticed how black his eyes are, it's intimidating.
I keep loving skander more and more these days, that give is the cutest <3.

When i saw the movie trailer i was so sure that i was going to hate will p. And find him irritating, but HE'S MY FAVORITE :).

[likecharity.livejournal.com]

He does have amazingly dark eyes, you can hardly see his pupils most of the time. I'm glad your Skandar love is growing, he's the best! :D

I knew I liked him, but I was sure I'd find him really annoying in the movie and I just didn't because he was so funny and I was so impressed with his acting.

[sagee-x3.livejournal.com]

Awww Skandar. That gif is so cute.

[likecharity.livejournal.com]

I know! Adorable.

[queenofspades89.livejournal.com]

I kind of really want them to do The Silver Chair, if only in hopes that they will use the Benjamin Button technology to age him up. I think it would be super cool.

GENERALLY ADORABLE CAST IS GENERALLY ADORABLE, WHAT ELSE IS NEW? ♥

[likecharity.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm sure they could do it! He talked about flashbacks too, though, so there's always that.

[likecharity.livejournal.com]

I know, me too. I keep trying not to think about that. If they do another movie, I'm sure he would show up to a premiere, but it just depends...and it really doesn't seem like he's too bothered about acting. AGH IT MAKES ME SO SAD. D:

Haha I know! It's so cute.

[katakokk.livejournal.com]

Skandar in hysterics! I didn't think we'd ever see anything like this. Do you know where it's from?

And awww, these quotes! They're very adorable and also very funny and I love this cast so much. Also, Ben just seems to be getting more and more attractive. I did not like him very much at all in Prince Caspian, but now...

[likecharity.livejournal.com]

It's so cute!! It's from a German video I found on Youtube, but the rest of it is just clips from the movie and interviews dubbed in German, so this was really the only bit worth seeing. XD

I'm glad other people feel that way, 'cause that's exactly how it is for me. I thought I just hadn't paid attention to his looks back then, but even when I look at older photos, I find him much more attractive now. It's weird. Better with age, maybe?!

[katakokk.livejournal.com]

Well, I will definitely be saving this .gif, then! It's so cute :D

Hahahaha, he's just one of those people who age wonderfully, I suppose.

[katakokk.livejournal.com]

Also, the article said Skandar had a cold, and my first thought was, "Awww, poor Skandar!" And then I realized, wait, he has a cold? And he somehow manages to still look awesome and gorgeous (assuming the pictures aren't incredibly touched up)?

[likecharity.livejournal.com]

I thought that too!

[harmonyalr.livejournal.com]

I love them all-they are so amazing (& oh so pretty!) They all have such great, genuine smiles. I love when Ben smiles and wrinkles his nose...that gets me every time. I love Ben's eyes, all of them have beautiful eyes...prettypeoplearepretty!

I love the shots of Ben's hands, I love looking at peoples hands-I'm totally checking out Skandar's (he is always wringing his hands and fiddling with his fingers, nervous energy?)

That gif is fantastic, I'd love to know what it was that caused him to crack up like that-letting go like that doesn't seem like something he does very often, kinda nice that it was captured on film.

*praying for awesome dvd extras*

[likecharity.livejournal.com]

Yes! The little wrinkles when Ben smiles are the best. I had the exact same thoughts about hands, these pictures are like hand porn to me. I love Ben's fingers. And Skandar is very fidgety, yeah, he always has been.

Me too! I didn't realise til I saw it that we don't really see him like that very often, not since LWW days anyway.

*joins you*

JAMES/GEORGIE.
This is a really big moment for me right now. Nothing, nothing, nothing new related to James and Georgie has even peeked a tiny little bit onto the surface of Narnia fandom for at least four years. FOUR YEARS.

I was very lucky, because I was always paired with James McAvoy, who was great.
It sounds like she's talking about shipping. It's very weird and nice to read.always paired with James McAvoy. How would she even know that?? Because that was the case! It was like that back in the day! How on earth would she know it??
...Maybe she's psychic too.

...WAIT A SECOND. I JUST MENTIONED JAMES IN MY LAST COMMENT. (the tilda-filled one.) HOLY F--K. MY LAST COMMENT HAD DELIBERATE JAMES/GEORGIE UNDERTONES. There was no reason I should have even added that bit into a totally unrelated comment. I haven't even taken an interest in J/G for months. MONTHS. And now, suddenly, just a few days after I mention James/Georgie in a comment, JAMES/GEORGIE-NESS OCCURS IN "REAL" LIFE. I mention it and then Georgie mentions it...without her having any awareness of what J/G actually is. (or I hope not. that'd be weird. and awkward.)

Seriously, though, I'm usually just playing along with the joke for fun, but right now, I swear, I feel like a psychic.
I change my icons all the time, so an ~official icon~ for this wouldn't work. Maybe I should just make a little profile banner/badge that says it. And then, even when I'm not actively in this fandom, it can stay there as a testament to my Narnia Psychic-ness. Y/Y??


Oh now, Skandar's mischievous smile. I missed that.
I saw a guy today with a smile that was a little like that: all secretly grinning.
...I ended up making him carry me to my house.

Skandar's face is such a lovely thing to behold. I'm not even attracted to him, either. It's just a good face.
Also, he is very well-spoken. I appreciate the thoughtfulness he gives to his speaking. Reading or watching interviews with lazy-speaking actors can get mighty annoying. The slurring of the words, or innattention to grammar, repetition of "like" and "you know"...or just plain boring-sounding folks. Skandar is not like that. I like it. :) It's an important part of his personality, I think, and something that fic-writers should take note of. It's just one of the little things that make up who he is as a person.

Skandar's expression in the GIF is so very extreme. Seeing him happy is always cheering to me! :)

[likecharity.livejournal.com]

I KNOW, IT WAS LIKE EVERYBODY JUST PRETENDED HE DIDN'T EXIST OR SOMETHING FOR A WHILE THERE. And lol omg I didn't even interpret it that way but it TOTALLY makes it sound like shipping. "I was always paired with James McAvoy." And she's so happy about that. I REALLY HOPE SHE DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT THE FANDOM, THAT WOULD DEFINITELY BE AWKWARD.

Youuuu are so psychic. You definitely need an icon/profile banner/something for it. And I agree about all the Skandar stuff.

[breathe-me27.livejournal.com]

OMG DYING OVER THAT SKANDAR GIF.

I approached the producers at the after party, after watching very carefully how many glasses of champagne they had.

*cackles* Oh, Ben.

[likecharity.livejournal.com]

IT'S THE BEST.

AND SO IS BEN. Oh, Ben, indeed.

[cowcreamer.livejournal.com]

I saw the gif and got confused by the whole entry.

[likecharity.livejournal.com]

LOL it kind of has that effect.

[prunesquallormd.livejournal.com]

Sigh. Adorable as ever :)

Is it just me, or does Skandar look younger than Georgie, despite being 4 years older? LOL He's so baby faced :)

A big YAY for the kink meme from me! You can never have too many kink memes :D

Happy Christmas, Jenny. I hope you're having a fabulous day ♥

[likecharity.livejournal.com]

Lol I don't know if he looks THAT young, but he has been looking strangely young lately. For some reason I think it's the hair, but I can't pinpoint why.

It should be up soon!

Thank you! It was actually a bit weird because it was my very first Christmas spent at home - I usually always go to Edinburgh to stay with family, but this year my sister was ill and we couldn't. It was still fun though, just unfamiliar! I hope you had a good day too. :)
