Tolkien geek. Yes, I am a Tolkien geek.

The Hobbit trailer debuted the other day. (Really funny first comment at the link, from someone who has obviously read the books and wanted to see how stupid some commenters can be. Scroll down.) Sigh. Next year? NEXT YEAR?

Seriously? You’re fact-checking a COMEDY?

Seriously. Much like the theme song from “Laverne and Shirley,” which declared, “Making our dreams come true for me and you,” “2 Broke Girls” features Max and Caroline brewing a dream of their own: a cupcake business. As the season … Continue reading
