Something exciting...

[Churl]

If you check out IMDB as of 12:30 AM EST, Dec. 18, 2001, Fellowship is ranked #72 in IMDB's top 250 movies of all time.

What's exciting about this is that it achieved that rank with only 1301 votes. Since IMDB's rankings are weighted to take into account the number of votes a film recieved, that makes Fellowship's rank all the more impressive.

If audiences continue to love it as much as they have so far (and assuming that thousands more will vote after the U.S. release), I think Fellowship is poised to skyrocket in the rankings.

Granted, rank is just a numbers game, and IMDB is only one poll, but nevertheless it's good to see that (after all our misgivings) this thing might actually receive the recognition it deserves.

Can't wait 'til Wednesday!
