Did anyone happen to see a movie called Land of the Rings ? I just heard about it, apparently some sort of fantasy thing with a group of midgets who fight some sort of wizard. And a skinny green guy, and I guess they all wear rings. I’m going this weekend, and give you all a status report on whether it’s worth the eight bucks. Hopefully it’s not too long, I have a pretty short attention span and don’t like movies over 70 or 80 minutes. ---

This thread is better suited for [**Cafe Society**](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=13). I’ll move it for you. **Cajun Man** for the SDMB ---

Why do I suddenly feel like I’m reading a Jackie Harvey column? ---

I’ve wanted to start a thread like this for a long time. ---

I’m sorry, but I have another movie planned with Milburn this weekend, “The Fashion of the Christ.” I only picture him in a white robe (very Ralph-Lauren-Hamptons-loungey-weekend sort of thing), so it will be interesting to see his other outfits. ---

I’m going to see that movie that just opened today, _The Alpo_. I love dogs. ---

I’m thinking about seeing _Walking Paul_. I think it also may be about a dog. ---

Land of the Rings- is that the movie about the [gay midgets](http://www.squidge.org/~praxisters/lotrhobbits.html) who meet up with an old Jesus and some fairies and go to return some jewelry? If it’s the one I’m thinking about it caused a lot of controversy for anti-semitism over the depiction of a little old Jewish man named Mr. Schmiegel. ---

Oh, from the thread title I thought **ChuckForbin** was telling us he had to go to the bathroom. (It’s a guy thing.)
