Sure, John Scalzi doesn't need any link love from me.
On the other hand, sometimes he just hits one right out of the park.
Apparently the other day he stumbled upon a Lord of the Rings trilogy showing on TV. And he had a web-enabled machine of some sort handy. And he had Twitter open.

(Er, and, hello? Storify!)
