And as to Lewis, I agree: metallic taste. There is something about apologetic literature that isn't quite right... you can feel that there is some hand-waving going on somewhere. Lewis just conveniently does it in a fantasy novel; we're excused if we mistake it all for magic.

But I wonder if the movie will create a revival of the books or if it will prove just how much Satan and witchcraft (you know, like Harry Potter) have triumphed over crypto-Christianity.
