I saw LOTR: Something About A King today. I figured...what the Hell, it can't possibly be more boring than an afternoon of watching soaps with my mother (on full blast volume) while she snores in her cocktail

But it's funny to think that you don't understand how a comment like, "I think they’re boring but I understand why everyone likes them" sounds dismissive and condescending and really rude in the face of someone who expresses their love of these movies.
Of course I understand. I'm inviting it becuase I know that 999 out of 1000 people are going to have a cow. It was the same thing when Matrix II came out and everyone wasn't thinking clearly. Ask those people about how much they like the Matrix movies NOW that the 10 minutes of the Matrix is offically up. LOL.
I'm deliberately being rude when I challenge the UNDENIABLE GENIUS of these films. It's amazing what people say about these movies. Most of these people haven't seen a movie that's not of the action, sci-fi, and fantasy genres...and THAT's why they think the LOTR movies are so good. They're the first movies they've seen in 15 years with a bit of humanity in them (since we all know that action/sci-fi/fantasy movies have become synonymous with BAD).
I mean, do you think I would have written THIS much about a movie I didn't like that much normally? Nooooo way.
Of all the movies I've seen this year, I have the least to say about this one. But I wrote the most...because I wanted to see what would happen! LOL.
