I read Hobbit in 5th and LotR in 6th and never had an english class cool enough to assign any of them. I can in fact, barely recall any englished assigned book. Someone calls out a classic and I think, oh yeah, I think I had that one, but I can't bring any up on my own, which is just retarded of me. bah.

the dwarves are largely hidden away in their mountain fortresses, obsessed with finding ore and making shit and fighting off hordes of goblins underground.

not sure it's an A, but I liked it
It was a good passage of an hour+. Until the above mentioned last line, which holds so much potential, I thought it a decent, if done before, cop show of the rough and tumble old school law man kind of going his own way. There wasn't much to that made me crave the next episode the…

I said this above as well, but another FX show I caught on Hulu now and then, Sons of Anarchy, did not get posted until about a week after it aired, I think because FX replays the epsiode a few times in the week. So, if it goes on Hulu, expect it to be about a week late.

with respect to Hulu, if it treats this show like Sons of Anarchy, another FX show, it won't be on for a week or so. I think FX has an ungodly delay because they rerun it themselves several times during the week.

a movie that includes Elisha Cuthbert as a porn star who doesn't get naked negates the positive of Elisha Cuthbert as a porn star. Not that I've seen the movie. I just heard she didn't get naked, so figured there was no point to watching what looked like an otherwise not so good movie.

but will it involve an M.Night time twist in which she becomes her own daughter the whole time?

I like his movies, though I've not seen all of Titanic and don't intend to. I think him a jag-off like most others because he acts like he's the second coming and that his movie is some grand game changer, which might be true on a technical level once it's more affordable for people to use on something other than a…

I don't see a career in her future, at least not in movies really. All the talk of her talent, how did she channel such unhappiness in the character. She weighs 400 pounds, there's plenty of unhappiness there. It sounds like people patting a retarded kid on the head for behaving when you just really expect some…

Miller used to be funny, and now he's not. His old stuff still holds up. Hating him now isn't because I disagree with his new point of view, it's that his new point of view has sucked all the funny out of his soul.

my girlfriend has had a shit-ton of issues with itunes, namely with losing file connections as she trys to back up to an external drive, then the fucker can find music to play or creates random subdirectories that don't connect to anything. Apple isn't nearly as user friendly and intuitive as it pretends to be, and…

wouldn't the votes be in by now, or do they do a count up until the day of or before? I would have expected that this kind of thing would have no impact because the ballots are done with.

I like Vin from Pitch Black, but having just recently seen the wheels come off of Babylon AD on hbo, holy shit what a crapfest. I wanted to like Chronicles, and thought it watchable if a waste of potential. I've not seen any fast and furious movie though, and couldn't pick this Walker guy out of a line up.

I enjoyed what bits of the original with Scott Glen that I saw. Been meaning to find that one again.

I liked Donny Brasco and Devil's Advocate, but I can see the point of avoiding the meta mentor showcasing. If it works in the context of the story though, I'm ok with it.

Having been spoiled by HBO and the like, I will not sit through any movie that has been edited for content or time to appear on basic cable or one of the main networks. While the dubbing can occassionally be entertaining, ala Snakes on a Plane, I'd rather hear the clips of those subs than sit through commercials and…

but don't get both or two of them, because that would just be excessive

I enjoyed Face-Off, but nothing post Pulp Fiction with Travolta has been good. At least not that I've seen, though I'm sure I've missed quite a few.

as a follow up oddity to my mind, there are several actors who I think I should not stand, but who oddly pick movies to be in that I enjoy quite a bit. Stand outs in this are Brad Pitt, and I've enjoyed every movie I've seen him in, especially Fight Club, 12 Monkeys and, Kalifornia, though I avoided Joe Black and…

Oprah book club selections have a rebuttable presumption of suckage.
