mollecon, relax man. I think we all understand the original poster's meaning of a 'proper' Tolkein: Those who have read and enjoyed Tolkein's work. No need to 'flash your credentials' to prove yourself.<P>I think it's a legitimate question. But I don't think many moviegoers are running around calling themselves Tolkein fans. It's only the oh-so-obsessive types like us that would even debate such a thing.<P>Therefore, I think the better question is: <B>Can people who have only seen the films call themselves 'Lord of the Rings' fans?</B><P>Anyone feel like tackling that?
