I think my mom just takes great pleasure in saying his name. But she's also come to respect him as an actor.

I read the books before I saw the movies; I was a voracious reader even at a young age. I still remember finishing the last Harry Potter book right as we were about to go on vacation to Hawaii. I remember my dad saying "take a break, you'll have nothing to read on the plane." Little did he know I had opted not to sleep in order to finish that book in 6 hrs. flat.

So I went into all the LoTR movies already knowing what was going to happen but even now - I kind of prefer the movies because I dearly love Elijah as Frodo.

I've never seen Chariots of Fire, ... what's that?
