A good friend of mine is pretty obsessed with the Hindengburg and has an interesting blog about it (if you're into that sort of thing):

In this you are definitely not alone.

A favorite with my group:

Satan's Whiskers (straight):

1/2 oz each-

gin
dry vermouth
sweet vermouth
fresh oj

1/4 oz-

Grand Marnier

1 dash orange bitters

shake w/ice, strain into a chiled glass.

If you want the Whiskers curled, use Curacao for the G.M.

Currently local loon, Alan Keyes just bought a book at my wife's bookstore. I guess he's not too concerned about how his numbers are shaping up.

You know, I don't have a blog, and I'm not the most articulate guy, but this link pretty much sums up my opinion on this topic:

"If it's shown crumbling from single impacts, one has to assume nasty malign sorcery is involved."

My memory may be slightly off (there were some rather undisciplined and talkative 8-10 year olds sitting behind me) but I don't think the catapults break the walls of Minas Tirith, although they do mash up some towers and buildings inside those walls pretty well (which seemed a little too easy, imo).

The only things which bothered me in this installment were the continuing silliness with Gimli and the stange elasticity of the oliphaunts-- their size seemed to change between the time they were stomping on an entire horse and rider and when Legolas was climbing aboard one.

But I must say, even though I am someone who gave the books too cursory a reading too long ago these movies have summoned wonderfully unmanipulated tears at numerous times. I can't wait for Sunday's scheduled second viewing.
