Am I the only person that doesn't like LOTR?

And what's with all the racism in LOTR? They perpetuated the myth that Ents are lazy and talk funny when in fact they are a hardworking, loving creatures. Don't even get me started on the whole 'Orcs are evil' nonsense.

well i wouldnt say that i hate the books, because well, I have never read them. But the movies..no i hated what I saw of the first one, couldnt even finish it.

I hated those damn movies. The Hobbit was an ok book, I haven't read the rest.

Suicide Girls: The Fallen

(You are a nerd of the first magnitude if you get that.)

I only mentioned that because like six of the "Active Threads" were either about Kip Winger or had been hijacked by pictures of Kip Winger. If today is his birthday or something, I might take it all back.

It might be, but I'm not sure. I was just really finding the idea of Kip Winger funny this morning, posted his name in a few threads, and then started a Kip Winger thread on the Silliness board. But I think all the Kip stuff that wasn't in Silliness, was apropos of the topic at hand.

Go Mets.

Do they have orcs on their team? I don't care really as long as someone takes a bat to that damn frodo's head.

i don't care for lotr either. it's a good story, i just wish someone with talent had penned it. a good author could probably have cut the length of the books in half and not lost anything from the story. then the movies. i liked the first one (even if it did copy the animated adaptation almost exactly; which is probably why i liked it), which got my hopes up that the story could be told without boring me to death. but then i watched the second one, and after that, i have not been able to bring myself to invest the time/money needed to watch the 3rd one.

Yeah, because you know, giant walking talking trees... totally realistic...

You mean you don't have those in the USA? Hmmm....you're really missing out dude.

Grr! I hate Lord of the Rings! I hate the crappy wizards and the dumb Americans and the dirty feet and the books and the everything!
Bluetrust and I watched the first film at home and halfway through we had sex because the movie was so bad we had to do something to keep our sanity.
I hate everything about the films and it blows my mind that they're so popular and well received.
I thought I was the only one.

yes

Tried it. He's too short.

i have read the books. but they just didnt interest me, they were okay i mean i read them with minimal struggle. but the movies did nothing for me. i dont nknow if its my attention span (well, i can sit through all of gone with the wind and ben hur so i dont think thats a factor) or if im just not interested.

i hate hate it, but i most certainly do not like it.

I don't have any interest in LOTR. Just don't like the stuff.

I hate lotr because it's 3 hour sittings of grown men crying. I hate the books because they were written during WW2 during the blitz and shit and when people state the obvious, that it's a sword and sorcery verision of WW2 Tolkien would say that the war had no influence on the books. My ass.

ahem...as much as I hate the crap he wrote...It is based on ww1 not 2

What he said.
