Professor Tolkien: Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. What is that? An Ex...Box? And who are those rather crudely rendered figures? Eh? What's that you say? They're Frodo and Sam? And Gollum? Well well well, that's all wrong, all wrong. Gollum was in the Mines of Moria but he did not encounter the hobbits until.... What's that? I most certainly beg to differ, but it is most certainly not "a game" it's a tale.... Oh, you mean to say that it's been adapted into a game? A game that one plays on the television? Well how in the world can you follow the story? "What story"?? Whatever do you mean, "what story"? The story of the coming of the King and destruction of the Ring of Power....what's that? That doesn't happen until, when did you say? The 32nd level? What 32nd level...of Moria? You mean, of the game? But I've already told you it's not a game its a book, and it's not divided into levels but into chapters. Now turn that thing off...good...thank you.... Well what's this now? The MOVIE? And what are those awful lemming-looking things? Wargs!? Well, I must say, I never...I mean...really...it's just....
