[neverwhere]

Absolutely furious about Oscar nominations. Or rather, THE LACK THEREOF.

Can't even talk right now, am so angry, and utterly, utterly disappointed.

Sigh.

Hey Annie! *squish*

I wish everyone could see our perspective and not dismiss LOTR as being trivial fantasy. I think Chicago is more of a fantasy film than TTT, as it's done almost entirely through dream sequences, but you won't hear ANYONE call that a fantasy.
Such a hypocritical world we live in. Sigh.

You're absolutely right about Chicago. Even though I haven't seen it, I know enough about it to take a stand. People dismiss LotR as fantasy as soon as they learn that it's got hobbits, elves, wizards, etc. But it's really not. It's about the characters and the events. To me the characters are no longer of different races, they simply are who they are. I don't think of them in terms of "Frodo is a short, large footed creature" or "Legolas is a tall, pointy eared elf."

I sound like I should be selling something.
