I might go to see The Hobbit in theaters -not- because I know anything about LOTR, but because they're supposed to air the first 9 minutes of Star Trek before the movie.

I am painfully excited for the sequel to come out.

This is the list of every theater that's participating:

What made you a Royals fan?

They caught my eye in a series with the Red Sox, and then I gradually started following them online and on games shown in my area. Within six months, I'd bitten the bullet and signed up for MLB TV so I could keep up with them. Something about the underdog gets me every time.

...And really, what bigger underdog than the Royals?

I'm undoing the discomfort that video caused me with this adorable baby.

I've never gotten the idea of falling in love with a team strictly because they're local. It's probably because my family weren't huge sports fans. I used to catch Yankees-Red Sox games on TV, so at 8 I decided to be a Red Sox fan. Then, at 15 I fell in love with the Royals, so for a while they were my second team.

Now, I can't even bear to associate with the Red Sox, and stopped rooting for them in 2006 to focus on my last-place KC darlings.

I'm also a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, and I didn't really start rooting for the Bruins until I watched them lose a heart wrenching Game 7 (curse you, Flyers!) I have tons of teams I like in the NFL or feel a soft-spot for, but since I'm a born-and-raised Rhode Islander, they have no backing based on my past or connections. I simply like who I like.

And in the age of 1000+ channels, you can really follow almost any team from wherever you are.

I actually really like Friends. In fact, it's been one of my favorite shows for many years.

*ducks and runs for cover*

I STILL love Friends, and watch it from time to time.

I'm also in love with Matthew Perry, which is why it hurts me that he hasn't found a show that can stick. Studio 60, Mr. Sunshine... Go On hasn't even aired its preview episode yet, and it's already been panned by critics. When will someone give that man a good show to star in?
