I just spent a few hours rewatching The Fellowship of the Ring. Still jumped, still laughed, still held my breath with tension, still cried. Tomorrow The Two Towers.

Damn, I love that trilogy.

But that doesn't mean that I can't get fixated on CGI chipmunks. Marry me, Pip! I think it's legal in Canada! I'm speaking, of course, about the little guy from Enchanted. Yeah, yeah, James Marsden.
