Oh my god! Rings-Thing has returned!

OK, 'fess up: how many times did you see FOTR? Do you think you'll see TTT as many, more, or fewer times? Have you made any special plans regarding the movie's opening?

Um. Just to prove that there is truly something wrong with me -- I saw FotR 14 times in theaters. And once on Lydia's bootleg DVD. And once on TV in a hotel room. And several times on regular DVD. And twice on extended DVD. Okay, so I'm bloody well insane, so tell me something I don't know.

I probably won't see TTT as many times. It just won't have enough hobbits, and awesome as the nonhobbit stuff is sure to be, I will get bored by it after the 9th or 10th viewing. And...um...right, I'm insane, and for all I know I WILL see it 14 times, but for now let's pretend I'm normal.

Opening of TTT: here's me at the first midnight showing! originally, it was just s'posed to be me, Lydia, and Tash going (in our loverly hand-decorated Pervy Hobbit Fancier T-shirts), but apparently a bunch of other people from the Freak Hallway are jumping on the first-midnight-showing bandwagon. Mwah-hah-hah-hah!

there are several ways to read this...

From a recent Elijah interview. This segment blatantly stolen from the wonderful undone27's full interview transcript, because she's the coolest. Yeah. Anyway:

Which brings up my next topic: dating. Elijah admits he's been in love "probably more than once," but he doesn't give any names. He's been linked with Franka Potente, 28, his co-star in the yet-to-be-scheduled romantic comedy, Try Seventeen, which also stars Mandy Moore. When I ask if Franka's one of those loves, Elijah gets tight-lipped, bites his nails, and goes into the usual celebrity spiel about keeping his private life private.
He doesn't have a problem talking about romance in general, though. "Anything is suddenly romantic when you're with someone you care about," he says. "Even something as simple as going out and getting take-away and watching a movie. Romance isn't about buying flowers or having a picnic. It's the little gestures-like a massage or an unexpected kiss."
So what sort of girl makes him gaga while eating lo mein out of a carton? "I really enjoy women who have a strong sense of themselves, who aren't afraid to speak their mind," says Elijah. "On a superficial level, I like girls with dark hair-I'm a sucker for that. If a girl has an English, French, Italian, or German accent, I go crazy." (Franka is German and has dark hair. Coincidence?)

I could comment. Or not. Just, y'know, he's obviously straight. And still in love with Franka. Yeah. ::tries to pull off the wide-eyed innocent look::

How many accents can Dominic Monaghan pull off? German and English, definitely...Right, shutting up now.
