Most of my friends thought the movie was 'okay' - except this one girl who has this weird thing: everything that can not happen strictly in her reality = bad. It's really annoying, because ... okay, maybe this doesn't quite belong in this thread, but you'll get it anyways ... (an example) another friend, who likes LotR, who couldn't recall who Tolkien was. I said to something to her alike "You don't mean serously, that youm don't know who <I>Tolkien</I> is?" and the LotR-hater (let's call her Julie (not her real name)) goes "Why should she know any of your crazy authors?" Tolkien!?! CRAZY!?! I just managed to keep myself calm and say "He wrote LoTR". And then she goes "And so what?" <BR>And I just have to say "Lord-" and Julie freaks totally out (once I mentioned the movie, she went "I can't believe you want to use money on that sh*t!" GRRR! She actually used that word!) I offered her to watch the movie on VHS for free and all, so she would have something to judge by. Can you imagine a 2-year old saying "No!"? A teenage-girl refusing in that way!!??<BR>Okay I better stop now; it's not interesting for everybody else to hear about my agressions... Btw, if I sound like I hate her, we're not friends anymore (because of something else, that doesn't belong on BD at all.)<BR>To shorten down, her reason was "Elves doesn't exist, therefore the movie is bad"
