LOL! People totally might do that with books. I can't remember the thing I saw once where future people were putting down books and they condesendingly asked what advantage they were. The person dunked the other person's laptop into water and thus ruined it. Then he put his book in water and showed that as soggy as it was he could read it when it got dry.
My uncle never saw the LOTR movies because he never wanted anything but what he had in his head. I knew some other people who did that too (some still posting about them on TORC regardless). I was lucky with them that I had fairly low expectations (thank you, Ralph Bakshi!) and have been able to like them as separate entities. But it can be difficult to make the jump.
