I liked Scar. He spoke so eloquently and he was so focused on his goals. My heart melted for Scar.

George Sanders voice talent was the ONLY redeeming factor in......that butchering of Kipling's *Jungle Books*. I'd like to know what screwed-up imbecile turned the original story upside-down in order to make Kaa an enemy of Mowgli, and the monkeys Mowgli's buddies?I much preferred the original classic, in which Kaa EATS those damn monkeys.-- Nanaea

KiplingI saw the movie back in '69 while in first grade. Never read the book itself, might do so, better late than never. I remember a "pious" uncle of mine warning me against reading Kipling as a child, because he supposedly had occult/satanic connections. Is there any basis in this allegation? If so, gotta get unabridged copies of his complete works :P

I don't know whether Kipling, himself, may have been an active participant in the neo-paganism movement, but I do know that a lot of his poetry is often quoted by neo-pagans. Such as his poem "Song to Mithras".And then there's his wonderful poem from his Jungle Books, titled "The Law of the Jungle". When the wolves in the poem are viewed as an analogy of pagans (particularly Satanists), then the poem becomes practically a children's primer for Satanic ethics.Find "The Law of the Jungle" on the 'net, read it, and see for yourself. :)-- Nanaea

Did a "find-replace" on the poem -- I see your point :)http://whitewolf.newcastle.edu.au/words/authors/K/KiplingRudyard/index.html

"Nala" is such a simple, 4-letter name that it can probably mean a number of different things in different cultures.Why don't you ask your "text friend" (what exactly is a "text friend", anyway?) what it means? I mean, we're all strangers to you here on this message board, yet you didn't hesitate to ask *us* about the name. Why wouldn't you go directly to the source (your friend) to find out what you want to know?Then, when you've found out, come back here and tell us. You may wind up making a significant contribution to this message board. :)-- Nanaea
