Nobody Likes Conquistadors!

Conquistadors make good bad guys. I was watching C-Span the other day, a book reading about early settlement in North America. The guy said that in the Dominican Republic, people are claiming Indian names even though the natives were nearly wiped out. In Mexico, they also tend not to much like the Conquistadors.

So, the armor and aspect of the bad guys in Narnia was perfect. Better than the Middle-Eastern appearance in the books.

Do they write children's books with quite so much warfare these days? I guess the last Harry Potter had a big battle at the end.

I'd forgotten Reepicheep and his tail-pride.

As usual, Peter Dinkledge is the best actor in any movie he appears.
