well folks...

[Rachel Bray]

I'm outta here for a week or so and therefore, away from 
the computer, too.

So, as I chomp on my third candy cane of the day, I just 
wanted to send my warmest wishes for a happy holiday to 
everyone here.  May you get to spend some quality time with 
your family and friends and enjoy the spirit of the season. 
 
A warm hug and peppermint flavored kiss to you all!

Merry Christmas

The most heartbreaking thing about faithful moviegoing
is that awe, beauty and excitement, three of the things
we go to the movies for, are the very things we're 
cheated of the most. The great wonder of "The Lord of the
Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is that it bathes us 
in all three, to the point where we remember -- in a 
vague, pleasurably hallucinatory sensation from another 
lifetime -- why we go to the movies in the first place.
