Lord of the Rings
question of the day: What White House position will Big Bird hold in the inevitable upcoming Romney administration?
Hey, Mitt said he likes Big Bird. Obviously the President-to-be is angling to put Big Bird in an important job in his White House! Secretary of State? Ambassador to Narnia? And what will the first Avian-American to hold such a position do in the job?
question of the day: Which pop-culture characters should winter storms be named for?
The Weather Channel already has pop culture on its mind: Winter Storm Iago does sound deadly; we’re all going to talk about Winter Storm Gandalf letting none pass…

question of the day: What geek thing are you totally fed up with?
Hobbit trailers? Zombies everywhere? What geek trope is driving you crazy?
Dredd (review)
I dunno much about Judge Dredd. I know he springs from a comic book series, I know he’s Judge Judy and executioner, and I know he never takes his helmet off. Forget the roughshodding of civil rights: it’s that last one that’s a major bummer.
question of the day: What is your favorite language invented for film, TV, or books?
Goa’uld is definitely one of mine, partly because I actually started to think in it, at least for a few basic vocabulary words, while watching Stargate SG-1…
question of the day: Who are the unlikeliest action heroes ever?
I’m gonna go with Elijah Wood as Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings. Wood doesn’t spring to mind when thinking about action heroes, and even within the context of the story, a homebody hobbit is the last person anyone expects to be an action hero.
