From LotR, all in the payoff:

connie neil:

Someone at New Line is probably looking at the spreadsheets and thinking "Well, the DVD release will make lots of money, but damn, I wish we were going to get that nice Christmas present of a new theatrical release this year--wait ..."

DavidS:

I'm on record as hoping they'd make an annual Christmas tradition of running the entire trilogy of extended editions theatrically. Wouldn't that be a fun annual tradition?

sumi :

I think that would be an excellent Christmas tradition.

Una :

They should film that....and, y'know, show it every Christmas.

Um.

In Natter:

Lilty: Only if the two of you plan on procreating.

ChiKat: Aw, crap. And I had his balls cut off.

From way back in Movies:

Ashtareth:

Speaking of nefarious power, I'll add my voice to the Spidey love, and to the just not caring about any of the gaffs and stuff. I did, however, cover my eyes and moan when Doc Ock declared he could stop nuclear fusion by dropping the miniature sun in a river.

You can always tell an old comics fan. We're the only people who ever say the word "nefarious."

Sumi made me laugh:

"Harry Potter 12! New chemical additive makes colored flames! Make your next book-burning festive!"

Oh dear. Despite the cringing that book burning causes me, I'd find this SO COOL.

I guess my inner pyro is pushier than my bookworm.

That wasn't me! (If only it was.)

It was sarameg, I think.

An apt analogy:

ita:

Like the billboard along Santa Monica that says "It's why garage doors have windows."

Daniel C. Jensen:

Just like Microsoft Windows, they're there because it's a feature that looks pretty and without any regard that they might be used to gain easy access to your stuff.

I haven't seen this here yet, and it deserves immortalization. Kristen explains how the book club will work, in her own special way, in Lightbulbs:

Okay, Allyson here is my NSYNCified version of what JenP said:

Let's imagine for a moment that instead of a Book Club Thread, we were talking about...a Popslash Fic Round Robin Writing Thread. So instead of "genres" you have pairings. The first month, we're gonna write JC/Justin fic. Everybody throws out ideas on what story we should write for JC & Justin. So one person says they want a Coming of Age/First Love Story in Germany. And someone else says they want a present day "Justin is an evil diva" fic. And someone else says they want a "JC is a kinky motherfucker with a heart of gold, yo" fic. And Plei wants this cracked out AU where JC is Batman and Justin is the Boy Wonder and Chris is, like, Alfred or something. And ita keeps wandering around saying, "Why isn't it a Chris month yet, damnit?"

*ahem*

So after everyone's shared what they'd like to write, the field is narrowed. Plei's cracked out AU is tossed because, you know, CRACK. And everyone ignores ita because, hi, it's JC & Justin month. Which leaves us with three options. Those three options are put up at MrPoll or what have you and the slashers vote.

Most votes win. And everyone starts writing about how JC is a kinky motherfucker with a heart of gold, yo.

Next time around, it's the same thing only we're focusing on ideas for the pairing of Lance & Chris.
