I was nine months pregnant when this movie came out, and I knew I would never last through the whole thing without multiple bathroom breaks. Fortunately, I had read the books dozens of times, so I knew when to dash out and when to stay put so I would see my favorite parts — the arrival of the Rohirrim, Eowyn’s “I am…

Coming here to say exactly this. That last number is gorgeous and moving.

I’m not a violent person, but every time I heard “Rude” I wanted to punch that idiot for his whininess, his sexism, his “reggae” beat, and general white boy nonsense.

From your lips to Kevin Feige’s ears.

My love of books overcame my hatred of slideshows. Barely.

They certainly have a knack for picking the worst spots to vomit. My cat once threw up on a TV. It was a cathode one that she liked to sleep on because it was warm. I was watching TV at the time when I saw her start to retch, but because I was nursing my newborn I couldn’t do anything about it except beg her to get…

What a sweetie! I had a cat named Pepper, too, and she loved to hunt make-up brushes.

The TV series was so much better than I expected it to be, and the tie-in to the original movie was great.

I had to look up the song because I didn’t remember it, and the second I hit play ALL the lyrics popped into my head. Excuse me while I submerge myself in 90s nostalgia.

Yeah, Luke showing up was perfect, in part because in universe, it made total sense that it would be him to show up. In general I don’t like the efforts to incorporate a Skywalker into every aspect of the Star Wars universe, but here it was necessary and justified.

Ooh, thanks for the heads up. My oldest is obsessed with Muppets, and I thought I had found all Christmas content.

If you can, get those silicone baking sheets; they do just as good a job as parchment paper for baking, and are reusable. I only break out the parchment when I’m making so many cookies at the same time I’ve run out of the silicone mats.

I had that show on VHS tape, and I dearly wish I still had it (and a VCR). The drumming thing was amazing, as was the Devil welcoming people to Hell skit and the actor demonstrating various techniques skit.

I told my husband: “Well, he’s definitely earned the armor now.”

For real, I thought they were the same person until this article (I’m not very good at remembering names).

Back when I had a fancy pants job with a big salary, I had so much fun at that store. Bed Bath & Beyond is just not the same.

Macarons are certainly labor-intensive and pretty to look at, but I was underwhelmed when I actually ate one.

The second I learned I could make pie dough in my food processor I never looked back.

I have sensory issues, and I can’t stand to have anything touching my face. The first time I put on a mask I had to rip it off seconds later because I could feel myself start to panic. I’ve slowly trained myself to the point where I can wear it for an hour or two at a time, but I still take it off as soon as I can.

That bit always creeped me out; I can’t imagine blithely raising a half-demon like it’s no biggie. I think it would have made more sense (in the context of the movie; I haven’t read the book) to see Darryl as a very powerful witch or warlock, rather than the actual Devil.
