Aw, damn, I thought she was still in it. I love her.

Beyond that, they also included bits of the Arwen and Aragorn story from the appendices in TTT, in a way I thought was extremely beautiful and bittersweet. I think the reasons they didn't do more, like with Galadriel, is because ROTK was pretty packed. And the story was about Frodo & Aragorn at that point, by…

Ahahaha. Whoops. "hoarding cards", obviously. :}

Well, first of all: Jackson did add Galadriel to the first installment of The Hobbit by using appendix material about the White Council. There are also two female elves he's added for the latter two films, one played by Soirse Ronan, the other by Evangeline Lily. But they have to get to Mirkwood before they can really…

You're seriously playing with the wrong people, then. Amongst my group of friends it's all about the clever. People hoard cars for HOURS, waiting for the right question to play it to.

This is actually a great game to play with close friends and fellow activists because it can be an awesome outlet for gallows humor. Obviously if you play with people who think date rape is ACTUALLY funny inherently, that's a problem. But the basic point is to come up with combo's that are awful because they're awful.…

Yeah, I don't get that criticism. She talks about herself in the context of her acting as she promotes a film. Which she's contractually obligated to do. What's she supposed to talk about? She's asked about her character and her process. It just makes sense. Plus, it's not like she talks about herself in some kind of…

It's like red carpet stuff. We just see the one actor standing. What they see is a wall of people, usually yelling, with tons of flashing camera lights. Then they have to go through the press gauntlet. A lot of people seem to think this is just "part of the job" but that stuff is waaaaay different than acting on a set…

You kind of go into a trance after awhile. My biggest fear is coming across like an inarticulate idiot, so I always agonize about what I said after the fact. It's a lot easier to do email interviews, for instance, because you can take your time and not say "uh" so much or flounder for a good answer. It doesn't…

I got to several comics/pop culture conventions a year so I know this pain well. I like interacting with fans, and I know some awesome press folks, but after like 5 days (or even 2) of doing that for 12 hrs, then doing the nighttime social stuff, I always end up wondering what the hell I've actually said to anyone and…

Ha! I'm also an editor, although I edit comic books so I'm more of story editor than a line editor. We encourage flair. But yes, the repetitiveness is ridiculous. I've been watching a lot of The Hobbit stuff and I'm like, okay guys, they've answered the "what's acting with a green screen like?" question already. A…

Ha! Well, I have several at this point, plus a new series coming out in January. I've mainly written comics. The one I had to do the crazy stuff for was True Blood. But, here's a few links:

In defense of actors/actresses in the midst of press junkets who sound like they're just repeating themselves: if you haven't ever done one, you have NO idea how often you get asked the same questions, over, and over, and over, for hours (or days/weeks if it's a movie) on end. It all starts to blur. I'm not an actor,…

Yes, she's asked about it in every interview. She's not just volunteering the info, she's asked about it repeatedly. This is what happens on press junkets. People get asked the same things over and over. Usually for hours at a time on the same day. It's one of the reasons actors get frustrated with that part of the…

If she was physically/emotionally abused, that's way, way, way different a circumstance. My friend was as supportive a partner as you could be, her ex was a disaster. "Two to tango" is, sometimes, not the case. It just often is.

While I certainly like the people individually on HIMYM, and Neil Patrick Harris, Jason Segal, Alison Hannigan, and whatshername do very well with the sitcom format...no. Parks & Rec is, objectively, a better show & story. The cast is equal, I would say, in terms of acting ability generally. But Parks & Rec is better…

I've had friends be cheated on and in pretty much every circumstance the cheater really didn't want to be in the relationship anymore and cheated as a kind of self-destruct, rationalizing it as not really cheating, or that because they were unhappy it was okay, etc. etc. They were absolutely too self-centered to even…

When you get to the point where you're feeling resentful or angry, it's usually a good time to take a step back and really look at the relationships. Friendships are mutual, they should make you and your friends feel good about spending time together (with the occasional tiff, no one is perfect). If, instead, you…

I sincerely hope not. My husband and I have been married for 9 years, together for 18, so it's rather nice he still cares that much. >:}

Ahahahaha. We've been married 9 years, together 18. I don't get much further than that, either, even though sometimes it's honestly to talk about living wills and things. It's nice to be loved so much, but sometimes I'm like, hey, this is just practical.
