Bwahahaha!

Allow me to quote John Stewart: "Tolkien fans make Trekkies look like dillettantes."

It's funny, because my roommate tried to read the books for the movies--she did one a year and I think finally gave up because she couldn't stand them. That's another thing where I would never say, "I don't understand how you could dislike this..." because oh yeah, I understand.

Thing is there are some Tolkien fans who are more objective about the books, I think, and it's tedious, imo, to see how anything that's even perceived as a criticism. Like saying the books aren't about character development--it's not even an insult, it's just a fact. But people get all, "That's not true the characters are well-developed!" when they're not. Characters don't have to be developed to be memorable.
