TOP FIVE THINGS SKANDAR HAS SAID IN AN INTERVIEW
Again, for thisissirius.
5. From ITV's Prince Caspian special. This part during the red carpet interviews. Because it's just the cutest.
Interviewer: "How long did it take you to get ready tonight?"
Skandar: "Not very long. Five minutes. On the other hand (prods Will's chest) ten minutes before we were supposed to go, he was lying around in his dressing gown doing sudoku!"
4. From Will and Skandar's Popcorn interview, because I just love how hilarious Skandar finds Will's farmboy past.
Skandar: "He misses his chickens now. He misses his chickens."
Will: "Unfortunately I didn't have chickens."
Skandar: "You DID! You admitted to me you had chickens!"
Will: "We had, like, four chickens."
3. From this interview. I don't even know, this quote is just delightful to me. I love imagining a bored Skandar sitting at the dinner table listening to all his science-y relatives discussing taps.
Skandar: "My family...well, they are all about science, and Darwin. I remember one of our family dinners...it was my grandfather's 90th birthday and we were all having dinner. I got my food and as I sat down I heard my uncles all get together and one of them said, 'So, what are we going to do about these new taps?' And they had this long conversation about taps! That was literally the story."
2. From Skandar's Blonde Cam, a Prince Caspian DVD special feature, the part where Andrew turns the camera on Skandar and gives him an impromptu interview. I just...love this. It sums Skandar up, really.
Andrew: "Have you, at any stage during production, read the script?"
Skandar: "Once. At the beginning. When I first got it. And that's the honest truth."
1. From this interview. Idek, it makes me laugh every time. Skandarrr. ♥
Skandar: "Randomly people recognise me but even then it’s very minor. It’s not as if my life has been turned on its head and I can’t walk down the street unless I’m wearing dark sunglasses and a ninja kit."
TOP FIVE WILL/SKANDAR MOMENTS
For __sine.
5. The dancing in the Prince Caspian bloopers
It's not a particularly shippy moment or anything, but it's just so stupidly cute. I love when we can see them just messing around and having fun together. ♥
4. The adorable things Skandar said in the Prince Caspian commentary
I can't pick one in particular, especially off the top of my head, but I do remember a discussion about the Pevensies showing affection for each other, followed by Will calling a scene 'his' scene when it had both Peter and Edmund in it. And Skandar cut in with 'OUR scene, talking about showing affection!'. And then that time Skandar called himself Will's 'trusty steed'. The LWW commentary has some wonderful bickering between the two of them but there's just something really special to me about how openly nice Skandar was being to Will in the PC one. 'Cause let's face it, it's quite rare for Skandar to 'show affection'. XD
3. This picture
I don't even know what it is about this picture but it's like, one of my favourites of the two of them. It's the way they're kinda clutching at each other and Anna's pointing like that, like she KNOWS something. Because Anna always knows things.
2. That one particular Prince Caspian promotion interview
(Watch on Youtube here.)
Skandar basically says Edmund's whole plot is tied in with Peter, and their BICKERING about Edmund 'saving William' (and the fact that Skandar says WILLIAM not Peter) is just the most adorable thing ever. And then when they talk about the bungee-jumping and they're all glowy and happy, and god, that last exchange-"That was the highest one we did," "But it wasn't the best," "Yeah, no."
1. The ignoring-the-reporter hug
Because...it's epic. I will never get over it. They've probably only been apart for like, a month, but they're so wrapped up in each other they just totally ignore the reporter. There's so much about it-the way Skandar hovers and waits for Will to finish his interview so he can say hi, the way Will gives him the once-over, the hug and handshake, the anxious swaying like they really wanna get out of there and catch up PROPERLY...ugh. SO MUCH LOVE.
TOP FIVE PETER/EDMUND MOMENTS
For breathe_me27.
5. Edmund's 'forgiveness' scene in LWW
When Peter says "Get some sleep," after the girls have hugged Edmund, and for a moment you think that's all that's going to happen, and then he goes "And Ed? Try not to wander off." And Edmund SMILES THIS SMILE, and it's just the cutest.
4. The "you think you're Dad but you're not" moment in LWW
I...think this is where I started to ship them. And kinda hated myself for it because wow, Edmund's young. But whatever, dude, there was TENSION in this scene.
3. The intense stare before the battle in PC
'Cause it's not very brotherly? Or...even necessary?
2. The "save it for later" moment in PC
Partly because I just...like to squint and see the dialogue as slashy. Peter says something like "You've always been there, and I've never really-" and Edmund interrupts him (rather forcibly when he fixes his arm) and says "Save it for later."
1. The hug at the end of LWW
Because it pretty much brings me joy every time. ♥
TOP FIVE SCENES FROM THE NARNIA MOVIES
For chairs. Hai, btw! :D
Honorable mention: When Edmund falls onto the griffin's back in PC
BECAUSE EDMUND IS BADASS. It's just this tiny moment, but it's so cool. He's surrounded and you're like, OH SHIT, and then he glances behind him and sort of smirks and then just falls backwards and you're like WHAT THE FUCK and then he goes soaring off on the griffin's back...it's so awesome.
5. When Edmund first meets the White Witch
I...am not actually sure why this is one of my favourites. I'm gonna put it down to my epic love for Tilda Swinton. She and Skandar are SO GOOD in this scene and I guess I just have a weird thing for their interaction?
4. The hide and seek scene in LWW
I love the whole thing with the music and the running around trying to find places to hide. And the way Susan climbs into the trunk. And how everything goes quiet when Lucy finds the wardrobe, that bit kinda gives me shivers.
3. When Lucy first discovers Narnia and meets Mr Tumnas in LWW
I don't even think I need to explain this one, that moment is so great. It's made so much better, too, knowing that it was the first time Georgie had seen Narnia, and James with all his Tumnas make-up on.
2. When Edmund saves the day in PC
EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS AWESOME, I can't even.
1. The battle scene in LWW
Yes, all of it. God, the cinematography is just amazing, there is so much I love about the whole battle. I'm not even into battle scenes in general, as well. I love the shot above, where the White Witch's two swords just miss Peter's face, I love the way it's shot when Edmund gets stabbed, and how everybody goes all blurred around Peter, and the close-ups on the White Witch's face and Aslan's before he kills her. It's really just so beautifully filmed.
