Lighten up people! You actually thought there might be a serious tone behind comments like this: "The character of Elrond was based on Agent Smith from The Matrix." ??
Its obviously in jest. If simply having a clue and not taking everything so literally isn't enough, the fact that the same guy then proceeds to give The Matrix the same treatment should make you realise he's messing about. Yikes, do you guys take everything so seriously and literally?
And the apology I also found quite funny. Yes, it was sarcastic and yes, it was vitriolic but again I don't think it was added gratuitously, probably well deserved in fact!
I think it's a rebuttal to the oversensitive, humourless houseplants who were complaining to him by the bucketload and he flipped, writing something rude back. I bet the emails he received about the site were far more offensive, and personal too. They would have been about
him, and not
his favourite books/films. There is a difference!
Either that or the guy is clearly more zany and random than just plain mean. This comment particularly amused me:

Demographic data shows the film also attracted a large number of homosexuals (hooray for Ian McKellen for breaking down the barrier for gays in action movies, paving the way for Vin Diesel) and was very big among High School dropouts and the mentally ill.

You cannot take this guy seriously, surely!
