    Have to agree. I’m gen X and most of my gen loves 'em. I’ve always personally loved fantasy & science fiction. But both times I tried struggling my way through LotR it was like reading a dry, bland history textbook written my an academic in love with his own navel.

    I also love Peter Jackson, but give me Brain Dead over any of the LotR films. They’re pretty, but BORING.

      100% agree, saw one of them in the cinema with a friend in my 20’s and actually fell asleep which I have never done before or since.
