- There are always new things to learn about everyone...just listen.
- My cousin is a great musician.
- My car gets about 4 miles a gallon less in the mountains than it does when it's not.
- My new favorite "radio station" is XM salellite station called "The System" - all techno, no commercials. It's like one big mix.
- One of my new favorite movies is "LOTR: Return of the King - Extended Edition" - it's so good it's like a different movie, but quite an investment in time at 4 hours and 10 minutes.
- A 24 pound turkey takes more than 5 hours to cook.
- Michigan roads are as bad as I remember them (maybe even worse).
- Just because you live somewhere doesn't mean you know how to drive around there.
- I no longer like Circuit City. Years ago I didn't like them and then warmed up to them. After a really bad experience on "Black Friday" with them I've lost my respect for them.
- Some people will do anything to save a few bucks on a big screen TV.
- How to make my own pickles that taste better than anything I can make at the store.
- The world is not COMPLETELY wireless...yet.
- Guilt stinks...
- There are FIVE actors in the LOTR trilogy that have been in OTHER huge blockbusting trilogies...can you name them? This is really amazing considering that these 5 actors in the same trilogy represent a stake in 14 of the top 100 best selling movies of all time and 18 of the top 200... That says a lot about the LOTR trilogy.
OK, here they are - easy ones first:
- Hugo Weaving (Elrond) LOTR & The Matrix (Mr. Smith)
- Orlando Bloom (Legolas) LOTR & Pirates of the Carribean (Will Turner)
- Ian McKellan (Gandalf) LOTR & X-Men (Eric Lehnsherr / Magneto)
- John Rhys-Davies (Gimli and Treebeard) LOTR & Indiana Jones (Sallah) ** He didn't appear in "The Temple of Doom"
- Christopher Lee (Saruman) LOTR & Star Wars (Count Duki / Darth Tyranus) *** Star Wars II & III (I consider them 2 separate trilogies) - check LOTR:Return of the King EXTENDED version (to consider him in all 3)
