Chronicles of Narnia

[Where is Hassan Nasrallah ?]

How does Tolkien "let you fill in the gaps?" what are the gaps in TLOTR?

Lewis lets you fill in the gaps.  Did you even read what he wrote?

i beg to differ. Tolkien might not let you fill the gaps in terms of description and the materialization of the world ... but his universe is so wide and populated that you are free to imagine all the relations between characters, between realms, between cities ....
you can fill in the gaps: economically, politically, love affairs ....

and The silmarillion is much more opened than the LOTR.

just saw narnia. never read thebooks tho.
the movie and the story is VERY childish.  i mean, very.

reminds me a lot of this trend in the 80s were they did tons of movies like that with kids going to a fantasy kingdom and having to face a mean queen / witch and get help from cute characters.

i thought i was watchin a cheap flick from the 80s. booooooorrriiing.

Fill in the economic gaps in a fantasy novel?  Not so much fun.

Some of the special effects, like the backrounds, were bad, as though they were put out by the BBC in 1985. Still, I really enjoyed the film.
