What does LoESRM stand for? "Lair of Especially Spoiled Rotten Minions"?
I'm guessing, or is it enlightened?

Not far from the Monastery ... there is a mountain. A dark, foreboding, twisted mountain that rears into the sky, its summit wreathed in terrible thunderclouds. Upon that summit there is a tower. A dark tower ... Inside we gather. The League of Extraordinarily Spoiled Rotten Masterminds.

The rest, as they say, is history.

(Do check out the rest of Bookwyrm's introductory post on the first page. It is very... minion-ish. )

Welcome to the LoESRM, Brisa! Maketh thyself at home!

Libby, I will gladly take some of those mash potatoes and turkey! Could you passeth the gravy, please?

Yes, MountainFireflower, there are many hungry minions, I being the chief among them. When I have no new spoilers to gobble, only imaginary-virtual-forum-food will do.

Bother Eustace: *passes the gravy* with pleasure!

oh how the new music video warms my heart yet hurts my ears!
I love the new clips, but I don't much care for the song.....

*leaves a bowl of cranberries to go with the Thanksgiving feast*

Greetings to all of my newly acquired minions! Wipe your feet and try not to let any of your experiments get into the Buffet. Last time that happened, we ended up with gizka everywhere! And the poor mutts simply detest gizka.

As for that ... music video, all I have to say on the subject is that the only place you're allowed to play it with the sound on is in the torture chambers and only if you're the only one in there.

Hello all. I, the Silver-tongued Speaker of Awesomeness, have returned after a long time away battling a case of flu (which I, no doubt, picked up by spending too much time inside the Monastary). It has cost me greatly, for it has prevented me from keeping up with the latest spoilers. I must crave your indulgence for appearing before you in this unseemly, un-spoiled fashion. I ask every one of you to forgive me, and above all, to please...

SPOIL ME!!!!!!!

I did however see Joe McElderry's music video. I actually rather liked it (not to insult The Grand High Dark Overlord by disagreeing ). I didn't really understand the lyrics, as in what they meant... but I liked the tune, and enjoyed watching the clips with the song playing in the background. Is the song going to be in the movie, though?

Hello everyone. Just slipping in during errands to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to all. Sorry no, I must pass on the feast as my in-laws are expected on the morrow, and I must save room for much eel stew, and frog pie.
Hope to be done with work on the wig-wam soon.
Blessings all.

Today is Thanksgiving -- a day of giving thanks. But because we are villains, and villains don't give thanks, I would like to wish you all a very Unhappy Griping Day.
I love you all, and all the evil things we do together.

Halloooo to ye minions! Have yourselves a happy Thanksgiving!

*adds 5,000 dishes to the 10,000 dish buffet- making it a 15,000 dish buffet. Zere you go! Enjoy!

I know I'm a little late responding to this. But I agree with all of daughter of the King's post here. My work schedule is much better now so hopefully I'll be better able to keep up. Or not. I haven't seen any of the new music videos yet. I'm home for Thanksgiving and I my sister would kill me if I turned the sound on on my laptop to watch videos. (especially since we are watching the parades right now.) Nor have I watched the new videos that have recently popped up. Is there anything of a spoilerish nature in the interviews that have been popping up? (Should make it a priority to read them or can they wait?)

Speaking of the trailer, am I the only one bothered by the Dragon Eustace-Aslan scene? It looks like he is dying, or at least injured. No matter what Eustace says in the dialogue afterwards, it will look like he earned his grace.

Nope, I was bothered by that too. The only thing that can help would be if Eustace is healed from his wound first and / or does try to get his scales of himself.

Got to go. I have to start the rolls for Thanksgiving Dinner. Which reminds me:

Happy Thanksgiving!
Carrie Underwood is just singing the Narnia Song on the parade I'm watching!

Eustace+Jill, in the interest of returning whatever greetings come my way, I wish you an Unhappy Gripings Day as well. However, I myself don't find that my villainy prohibits me from being thankful, so I shall also wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!

That music video... I really didn't get it. I liked the Narnian clips, but the song itself had nothing to do with Narnia at all. Except, perhaps, the idea of "someone wake me up" might be stretched to apply to the three Sleeping Lords... but I don't think that was the intention. But it's probably better that there are no Narnian lyrics, because I don't like it much anyway. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I would like to thank the The Grand High Dark Overlord for decreeing that that song can only be played in the torture chambers.

At least you are not completely bored waiting for it to get here.

I don't know why, but this really made me laugh. I'm probably just really tired from all the stuff I've been doing.

Welcome to our League, Brisa!

the only place you're allowed to play it with the sound on is in the torture chambers and only if you're the only one in there.

*writes a mental note to avoid the torture chambers if anyone likes that song* I watched the video once with the sound on. I think I should have watched it with the sound off.

SPOIL ME!!!!!!!

There have been quite a few interviews and magazine articles but none of them have really contained anything spoilerish. The only one that has me worried is the Apted interview. The Gresham interview doesn't really have anything new, but since he hasn't been interviewed a whole lot lately I would suggest reading that one.

I saw the behind-the-scenes video. Nothing too terribly interesting in that, just more of the "we're going back to the magic and wonder of LWW." What if I don't want you to go back to LWW? What if I want to see VDT as VDT?

The only thing that can help would be if Eustace is healed from his wound first and / or does try to get his scales of himself.

I suppose that will help, but I can't help but wonder just how much he fights the sea serpent. If he is wounded in the process of doing a heroic and noble deed it will appear that Aslan waited until after he did that to undragon him. I can see moving his dragoning to later in the story, but postponing his undragoning is just a bad idea all around. *sigh*

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I wish they hadn't waited either. One report or plot outline said that he was wounded by Lord Rhoop throwing his sword at him. I'm not sure if that makes things better or worse. Then it could look like Aslan undragoned him only so the sword could be removed from him and he could place it on Aslan's table.

Is any one else upset because it appears that Eustace doesn't swing Reep by the tail? I really wanted to see that on the screen. I don't like that they dual either.

Well, thanks to the music video, we know that at some point Dragon!Eustace is grabbed in the sea serpent's mouth and drug underwater, so I'm guessing that's when he's actually hurt. The thing that really irks me is that in the clips we've seen, it looks like they don't start to fight the serpent until after Eustace flees. In the one clip in which he's using fire against it, everyone is just standing at the rails watching the fight.

Actually I'm glad. If you did that to a real mouse, you'd probably break it right off
