Who's pumped for Narnia??? oh i am. so so pumped.
now, as a young jewish child i loved LOVED the cartoon movie. my cousins and i used to watch it over and over and over again. and i never picked up on the christian story (i know, it was always winter and never christmas andy, i know, but i was young and jewish, it just didn't compute).
and i'm really really excited to see the movie, but i'm a little worried the now i'll be too focused on the aslan-as-jesus thing to truly appreciate it. i'm going to try, don't get me wrong. i'm ready for a rollicking magical time. but i'm a little nervous.

Ok, see, Clearly C.S. Lewis was a little bit wrong. You put the Oxford comma into that title. Because it FEELS right and LOOKS right. Indeed, it IS right because you don't want the Witch to be grouped with the AWESOME, which is what the eye and the brain does without the Oxford comma. Mr. Lewis, you need the pause there. It makes sense. 'Cause you wouldn't group the Witch with the Wardrobe anymore than you'd group the Lion with it. Unless you're using Chicago Style, in which case you're a turncoat to literature.
Sometimes it's like I'm taking crazy pills.
And in case any one thinks I AM taking crazy pills, yes I do know that Mr. Lewis is dead. My addressing him directly in the above paragraph is what one might call a "conceit."
well, maybe it was the witchy magic that made the wardrobe a portal??
and, yes, you are scaring me just a little bit.
Eh. But the Witch isn't the first thing you encounter in the Wardrobe? I'd accept The Lion, the Fawn and the Wardrobe.
I am so sane it blew your mind.
Or The Lion, the Lamp Post and the Wardrobe!
wow. you're on some kind of a roll. or something.
Wait, what's the correct, Sheena-way? I want to understand grammar.
Also, what is that cool picture from? Is that from the cartoon version? 'cause if so, we should totally see that. It looks scary.
I don't like the Oxford comma. It's offensive. I don't like it. It's all about sentance flow.
josh, either way is correct. it's a matter of personal preference (oxford comma is the only way to go).
the cartoon is from the narnia website, i think it's from the design stage of the movie.
nate, i think the oxford comma helps with the sentence flow. because commas help you to pause in your mind. so if i were talking about my cats, my carpet, and my tv, the commas would help to separate them.
if instead i talked about my cats, my carpet and my tv, i'd think my tv had something to do with my carpet. and it doesn't. they're not even touching.
but, again, it's all about personal preference. sheena and i are just right. i mean, i might be a psych nerd, but she's an english guru.
I understand your point, but I'm right. Ironically, I tend to overuse the comma. I do not, however, use the Oxford comma, because it just feels wrong.
