I probably wasn't the best person to ping to this. I never got into LOTR. The book bored me to tears, I finally put it down and swore never to pick it up again.
Fried Green Tomatoes was okay, but I certainly wouldn't have paid to see it.
Give me Bruce, Arnold, or Carrey anyday. ;)
Last movie I watched more than once - Pulp Fiction. I could watch it 100 times and still pick up something new. That's my idea of entertainment. :)
The point is that there is a HUGE difference in you reading something and deciding for yourself that it's boring and being generalized by our friend prisoner6 into a group that's too stupid to understand the writings of JRRT.
