Movie Aristotle wrote:"You will know her better hereafter!" -As Ginnabrik is about to kill Edmund. Um... how is Edmund going to know the queen better if he's dead?
Good point. I had thought the very same thing!

-Come on Lucy, is Reepicheep suddenly you're knight in shining armor arriving to rescue you. Yet, at the end you claim: "We did it. I knew we would." (another terrible line by the way, when you consider Lucy asking for Aslan's help in PC)
Yes, Lion's Emblem, I quite agree about Lucy saying: "We did it. I knew we would." at the end of VDT, being a terrible line. After all, she is the one who, in the movies and the books, is the first to give the credit for what was achieved to Aslan, not herself or someone else. In the book, as well as in the old BBC movies (which, in my opinion, are a very faithful and splendid adaptation, aside from a few visual effects issues, by the way), when the voyagers are in the Dark Island, thinking they will never get out, she calls to Aslan for help, and then, when they do get out, Lord Rhoop says, about the Dark Island, "Why! You have destroyed it!", and Lucy replies, "I don't think it was us.", obviously inferring that it was Aslan's doing. It's not in her character to say what she says in the newer VDT movie, implying that she and her friends did everything. Basically, it's a really bad line!
Lion's Emblem wrote:I also agree about the "shut up" line with Reepicheep. Not a very valiant mouse in this scene is he? Actually, I didn't care for the instances where shut up was used (with Reepicheep, Peter to Susan about "the water erodding the earth's soil", and Susan to Lucy about "You may need to call me again") it felt out of place for the era to me.
Exactly! The term "Shut up" seems too modern, or too American, to be used in the Chronicles. And Reepicheep of all characters would never say this!!!
He speaks too properly and graciously to utter such a line!
That's all I have to say at the moment about my most disliked quotes, but I do have one more thing to state on a very different topic: this is my 333rd post!!
