Wow, look at the new Narnia poster. It's a good thing this is a Christian film, otherwise I'd think that sword shooting out of the Sun was supposed to be a solar phallus.And I'd think the sword pointing down to the parting waters had some unwholesome connotation. I'd think this was just more crypto-Solar propaganda, meant to condition good Christians for the "New Age" that "has begun" as the film says in its tagline.
I mean, it's just a coincidence that C.S. Lewis chose the Summer Solstice to present the galleys of the first Narnia book to his friends at Oxford, known as the "Inklings." I'm sure all the blatant Solar and Mithraic symbolism in the book is just accidental. And so what if it had 17 chapters? And we, uh, won't mention the hilt on Caspian's sword there.
Since this is a Christian film, there's obviously no way that little intersection is supposed to be an inverted crucifix. The next thing you know, someone might tell me that the first Narnia film was released 666 months after C.S. Lewis presented the galleys of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe to the Inkings. That would just be crazy talk.
I mean, the Pevensie siblings are in no way meant to represent the four stations of the Sun, and it's just an accident that Anna Popplewell and her breathtakingly sensuous lips were paraded in front of a poster for Venus. Her character in Narnia isn't supposed to represent the Summer, when Venus is at its brightest in the night sky.

And I don't wanna hear any crap about Liam Neeson playing Aleister Crowley admirer Alfred Kinsey before taking on the role of Aslan. So forget it, all you conspiracy hounds. Nothing at all to see here.
Go about your business.
