LOTR and HP, one item apiece
LOTR:
Now available on DVD: Ringers: Lord of the Fans, a documentary about the fan phenomenon surrounding LOTR (book, film, the whole deal) over the decades. I got it via Netflix yesterday, and watched it while eating dinner. Some interesting and amusing stuff, though clearly put together on a tight budget. I'd give it 3.5 out of 5 stars. They did cover Cassie Claire's Very Secret Diaries, which was good to see. And some of the manic-fan stuff was pretty funny--like the chick practically berating Elijah Wood, at a souvenir-signing event, for being so hot. The look on his face was great. ("Thank you...?", he said.)
HP:
I feel I should tell you that Hot Topic is currently offering up loads of Harry Potter stuff. Get a "Support Cedric Diggory" T-shirt, a postcard of Ron in England's worst tuxedo, a Gryffindor track jacket with "Potter" across the back, a Death Eaters wrist cuff, and more. Note: that link is the first of 4 pages, so be sure to click the little arrow to continue onward.
Oh, and happy Thanksgiving to ye United Statesians.
