But somethings are sacred: Beethoven, Otis Redding, The Usual Suspects, Salinger, Hank Aaron.

My buddy Mock and I went to see the midnight showing of "Avengers." He was jazzed enough to stay awake. Alas, I was not.

As I hope I've said before, the works that hold up well to adult scrutiny are to be particularly admired - old "Bugs Bunny" cartoons, for instance.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509001761075530940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-61554946523630109532012-11-12T18:24:36.344-05:002012-11-12T18:24:36.344-05:00I never watched the LOTR animated film.

I remember being very confused as to why it was suddenly Frodo instead of Bilbo.
