So I stumbled upon basically the most adorable Elijah Wood interview from when Fellowship came out; I was finally watching The Faculty for the first time (which I SO ENJOYED, d'awww little nerdy Elwood, LEMME PINCH YOUR CHEEKS WHILE YOU KICK SOME ALIEN BUTT) and wanted to find the Harry-Knowles-tells-EW-to-be-Frodo anecdote to put it in its proper context, and typed in "elijah wood and harry" into Google, and "elijah wood and harry potter" popped up, and I was like...what the heck. and this was a result on the first page, and guys!!! HE'S SO PRECIOUS AND YOUNG.
Q & A With Elijah Wood, December 2001
McCuddy: Tell me where you're going to be on Christmas.
Wood: I'm going to be home with my family. Basically, I get home on like the 22nd of December after all this press 'shebackle,' and I'm going to want to relax and chill out. I only have a couple days to Christmas shop. I've had no time to do it so far, so home, home, home, home.
McCuddy: I'm part of a 'shebackle?'
Wood: Yeah, I don't ... is that even a word?
McCuddy: A Tolkien term, I'm assuming.
Wood: (Laughs) It wasn't 'Tolkien.'
McCuddy: Do you find yourself getting caught up in this Tolkien world?
Wood: (Mock serious tone) Man, it's my life.
McCuddy: (Laughs) It's some heavy background you had to do.
Wood: It is.
[...]
Wood: That as well, which was new for us to see. So it was kind of like a mix of the emotions that are tied into the experience, and experiencing new visuals that you hadn't imagined. Oh, man, it was unbelievable. I couldn't even speak after the film. I've seen it twice. I couldn't speak after the second time.
McCuddy: You're doing fine now.
Wood: (Laughs) I'm all right now. But if you showed the film to me again...
Wood: (Laughs) That is Sir Ian.
McCuddy: And he's a powerhouse.
Wood: Oh yeah!
McCuddy: Did he give you any acting tips or pointers?
Wood: He was just a wonderful part of the fellowship, and a good friend.
McCuddy: Wonderful part of the 'fellowship?' You gotta snap out of this man, you're going home for Christmas, you've got to let it go.
Wood: (That mock serious tone again) Dude, no, (laughing) it's a part of my life for the rest of my life.
McCuddy: (Laughing) It's like a cult. They've pulled you in. We've got to deprogram you.
Wood: No, no, no. I would be sad if I was deprogrammed.
IT'S DECEMBER, guys, and LotR release season, and I always get so nostalgic during this time of year it's almost a little pathetic (or, okay, a lot pathetic!). but hey, remember when these guys and this cast and this crew was young and enthusiastic and having the time of their lives in New Zealand? I DO.
oh young, ickle, pre-fame Orlando Bloom. so ridiculous. so very ridiculous.
THE BATHTUB RACES. everything about this just warms my heart.
WOOO IT'S PICSPAM TIME. PARTY LIKE IT'S 2003!

woah, sorry. I didn't mean to nostalgia all over the community there, but I thought you guys might also be feeling these things I'm feeling, and appreciate a little love. ENJOY.
