I went shopping for that book when it first came out, and the bookstore staff looked at me quite blankly. I may just venture out into pre-Christmas crowds for it.
Maybe.
Because I crave.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I don't remember his response about LotR
It was something along the lines of "The whole *movie*? That's not fair. Now, if it were just Frodo....I think I could take him."

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Well what the hell.
This thread has been moving like gangbusters, even at 3 am since this movie came out.
I finally see it and everyone's all, "Eh. We've talked about all that. Let's move on to the next Harry Potter. " Humph.

I'm betting there's a shit-ton of breath mints to be involved there somewhere, too.

If I only had a brain...
WHOOHOO! Over at Salon, Stephanie Zacharek bitch-slaps that tacky stereotyped NYT article about how women don't like LOTR.

Yay. Go you Stephanie Z.
One would hope the NY Times would be above such laziness. But it does stir up page hits when that sort of article gets posted, so I expect the editors don't mind the controversy.

Very good article. I was hoping it'd be longer.
