Infantry or cavalry?

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

While watching The Chronicles of Narnia, Patrick came up with a question I couldn’t answer: Do centaurs count as infantry or cavalry?

But, at least in my opinion, that’s about it. I just didn’t get it. Sorry. A lot of the story was simply confusing, especially in the beginning I would have liked a little more exposition. Would it have been better (if not necessarily… erm… necessary) to watch the MTV series first? Would that have helped? Or maybe I’m just not smart enough for this kind of crap movie… :-)
