So this is funny on several levels- but the one that I want to focus on is like… can you imagine? The year is 2220 and they are rebooting the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. Of course they’ll need the right cast and writers and such- but they’ll need the right Wardrobe. It’s right in the name- a pretty important prop. So they figure they’ll use something very old and antique. The prop master pulls through (or the VI effects person…) and produces a Škörgêń Bøergéń or whatever 200+ year old IKEA wardrobe. And now audiences world wide watch a tale of imagination and fantasy unfold as these children step into an epic world of delight and danger through a $100 plywood box with peeling fake veneer that someone drunkenly mistook for the water closet that one house party after midterms and you sold it on offer up for $20 when you moved out of the dorms. Magical.

And it’s just sort of like… history tends to make things that are mundane seem cool or mysterious but I feel like as years for on that’s less so. The whole meeting a ghost that wails vintage Britany Spears lyrics or the idea of a cursed piece of jewelry from Amazon… like “Christine” has an aesthetic but trying to imagine the terror of being haunted by a demonically possessed late 20th century Vauxhall or Ford Fiesta is no more scary than imagining the terror of owning a non possessed one. The abandoned knock down condo complex just doesn’t really make the same iconic image for Dr. Frankensteins experiments. So I mean… you know… funny stuff.
