I read the books twenty years ago (and repeatly since) and love the movies, what does that make me?<P>I do agree though that folks that just watch the movies cannot rightly call themselves Tolkien fans. Their fans of the movies, and that's cool and just as valid.<P>I think these movies will (and have) generated many authentic Tolkien fans. I was introduced to the world through role playing games. The movies are a valid entry point as well.<P>H.C.
