You know you're wicked crazy when your delusions are strong enough for other people to catch them...
A phenomenon known as "folie a herd"
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I'm still reading the original Unauthorized Fandom Biography (not the wiki post). It's pretty remarkable investigative reporting, and I can't stop reading it.
I think the LotR chick who believed that she was physically transforming into Elijah Wood/Frodo Baggins and still had people defending her after making that public wins the blue ribbon for nuttiness.
I'm sorry, what??? Please tell me there's a link, or a recap, or something on FandomWank. I need to know more about this.
Sean, here. There was even a book.
I knew y'all would come through for me.
Damn.
I thought I knew what wank was, but clearly, I was mistaken.
Yeah, that story is the craxiest of them all.
The Daniel Radcliffe thing is a clip from an upcoming episode of Extras, Ricky Gervais' latest series. I saw it when I was in England last month and laughed my fool head off. I think that's the best acting that kid's done yet!

That story still sets the standard for all fandom crazy, I think. She was spotted at the last HP film premiere in New York dressed up like Harry, too, so apparently her "changes" aren't just limited to one fandom idol.
Does anyone think that "The Illusionist" is going to get big enough to make it across the pond? I really hope so, because I want to see it and "The Prestige" back to back.
