I do confess, I am guilty of falling under the "Annoying Experts" catagory (according to just about everyone I know, anyway...)
I received LotR Trivial Pursuit as a Christmas gift. I didn't (dare) open it until a few weeks ago when a casual friend saw it and said, "Oh, I love that movie! Let's play the game!" Another friend who has read the books (and knows me) agreed with a smile. So we played it.

I tried to just let everyone have fun. After I had won with Frodo, they kept playing and gave me Galadriel to start over with, and I was on the verge of winning then (they were still filling their first gamepeice) when it was time to go.

I tried not to be annoying. (Really, I did, because I wanted them to come back and play again.) But I felt pretty bad all the same.

It drives people crazy when I say "We wants it, precious."

I really haven't found that many annoying amateurs around. Most of the time I'm just happy when somebody speaks of the movie in a positive way. It's tempting to raise a mug and shout, "AN ALLY! WE WILL FORM A LEAGUE OF FRIENDSHIP THAT WILL LAST DOWN THROUGH THE AGES, AND OUR PEOPLE WILL AID ONE ANOTHER AT NEED! HAIL TOLKIENDOM! "
