I really loved this post--it was funny and astute, but also full of a warmth and generosity toward our fandoms, embarrassing as they may be (and yes, I am Team Star Wars).

Hope your toe heals quickly.

The EE FOTR is the only really good EE because of the additional depth it lent to Boromir and Aragorn’s conflict; the other two theatrical releases are superior to their EE counterparts. I’ll die on this hill!

1. Godzilla.

Also does our least favorite mean that we are the opposite of that? My parents watched Star Trek reruns (the show not the movies tho) and I’m told that as a toddler I would run screaming from the room and refuse to come back whenever Spock appeared. They think it was the ears. They thought it was hilarious but I dunno I think I’m damaged.

I hate the torture porn films like Saw, but I grew up on slasher films like Halloween, Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street and love all of those.

I'm not sure if that makes me a hypocrite or not.
