Mayor ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
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.
Oh, me too, but I'd never qualify.
I am daunted. Daunted I say. Any book, like the Silmarillion, that _begins_ with a glossary, is destined to be my undoing.

I've been in a state of tears or near tears for the last hour thanks to Moon.
All six movies played at the same time. Just the beginning with all the theme songs on top of each other with some slightly out of sync is hilarious.
We watched The Hobbit last night. Mal had a map of Middle-Earth spread out on his lap for most of it, except when he needed to hide from trolls. He thought the wargs looked like dinosaurs, which made me think megafauna, and a little Google later it appears that the wargs are a mix of megafauna, while Thranduil's war moose is an Irish elk (which is apparently neither Irish nor an elk).
This time I was even more blown away by Martin Freeman's performance.
