I can never enjoy LOTR for some reason. Brain just doesn't like it, oh well. It just like with food, different people like different things.
I like the first one and the last one, but I simply cannot make it through the two towers. I tried reading the book, and I had to give up, and it's one of the few books I've ever quit reading in my life.
Just the infinite rambling about the hills and the trees and the trees and the hills and the hills and the trees and they stop to eat and sing and then the hills and the trees and the trees and the hills, it makes my brain revolt and threaten to start throwing molotovs.
And the first three quarters of the movie was so boring to me that if my girlfriend at the time had not been there to make out with me in the drive in I would have lost it.
Totally understandable. We all were infatuated with the books in the 80's and 90's, so to have someone visually put our imaginations on a big screen like that was orgasmic.
That was like so along ago... before I was even born lol
