Who would YOU spend a weekend with? (was: And *I* met...)

the first half of the first movie for LotR, I can't help but think 
one thing whenever I see Elrond:

Kathryn:

Fortunately I've seen the movie several times (have only seen TTT 
once but once the special edition is out on dvd that will change) 
and I'm getting over that.

Wendy:

Heh heh heh . . . I still can't get over it. I am *totally* creeped 
out by Elrond in the films. And the thing is, I hadn't seen any of 
the Matrix films until about a month ago, so my creeped-outness by 
this actor is unconnected. I'm not sure if I ever saw him in 
anything else and don't remember, or if he just comes across as 
creepy to me in general. But it's creating trouble for me with the 
LotR movies. My husband keeps telling me that Elrond is cool, and 
trustworthy . . . but I just DON'T believe it. He creeps me out! 
Evil! (I'm speaking here as someone who *has* read the trilogy and 
so should know these things, but it's been more than 15 years ago, 
and I honestly don't remember how it ends).

On a related note, yesterday I finally saw the LotR trailer (when 
seeing Matrix Revloutions, LOL). And it made me cry. Gah. I'm going 
to be a wreck. I cried at least 5 times watching TT (I really got 
going while Smeagol/Gollum fought with himself). I think the new 
film is going to be worse. If I'm already sobbing at just 45 seconds 
of thrown-together scenes . . . . ARGH! I think I'd better bring a 
box of tissues to the cinema with me. ::grin::

(Who still hasn't seen the PoA trailer . . . hey, maybe I should 
take Connor to see "Loony Tunes" today. He's home sick from school, 
but going to a film surely isn't an overly ambitious activity for a 
sick day). ::grin::
