First let me say that I didn't have a problem with your post at all. And I was sqeeing about many of the same things you were. Another thing I really enjoyed was hearing him say he liked vodka - as a woman who loves a good martini that made me very happy!! I'm not a beer drinker at all so I had no idea what Stella was. I have always thought that Dom was the closest friendship that Elijah took away from LOTR - they are closest in age and both share a love of music. I also wonder if Elijah's comments about not liking POTC caused any riff with Orlando - I hope not. Orlando is also the one who got the most "celebrity" out of LOTR. As far as Sean goes - he did recommend him as King of Bacchus. As happy as I am to hear about the LOTR folk getting together, I'm also glad he has some of his life still private.
