All right, well I guess no one knows the way to Mordor anymore. ;)
That's okay. I was trying to wait for some comments before posting again, but I suppose I should just continue regardless since there's some stuff I can post about. :)
First off - there's some interesting
Pirates of the Caribbean stuff happening on Sunday at 8:15 PM; the new trailer for the movie is going to air simultaneously (in what is called a "roadblock") on every channel affiliated with Disney (ABC, Disney Channel, ABC Family, ESPN [where it airs at 11:15 PM instead], ESPN 2, ESPNews, ESPN Classic, SOAPnet, Lifetime, Lifetime Movie Network, Lifetime Real Women, A&E, The History Channel, and E! Entertainment Television). It'll also be online at that time.
BUT, more interestingly, today the full trailer is actually
already online and so I don't have to wail 'til tomorrow (I've heard about this movie for quite some time now...) although I still do think that roadblock idea is pretty cool.
Anyway. Since I'm sure all [2] of you are oh-so-interested in that, I'll also post a couple of surveys that Tiffany had in her LiveJournal (...except, of course, that it's my answers now instead of hers...but I guess you got that.) I actually filled these in yesterday, so... Okay. Here goes.
