io9: Walk through this portal with me into another world
The “portal fantasy,” where somebody walks through a magical door (or wardrobe) into a fantasy world, has become a terrible cliche. So why do we keep walking through those portals and loving the hell out of it?I <3 portal fantasies. Narnia, I’m looking at you, you started this for me! Inkheart you also get a big highfive. Stargate, why aren’t there more caps of you on Beautiful Portals? Pan’s Labyrinth, I need to rewatch you.
The article at the link is thought-provoking.
