Has anyone that you know said something totaly stupid about LOTR? My friend saw the first bit, loved it, but must have missed someting:

My friend: Yeah, first there was this boy and this big tall dude.
Me: gandalf?
my friend: Yeah, but he died, I mean really died, in real life. He had a beard I think. Anyway, they went on a quest to find a ring, because it would give them power. Then the dude left, and three other boys joined the first one. They got chased by big black guys, and then captured by an ugly man. Finaly (and this is the best bit), they went and stayed at this really pretty hotel.
Me: HOTEL?
My friend: Yeah, a hotel, with bridges and waterfalls and stuff. It must have been a very high class hotel, and was run by this other dude, with a dress. Emlon or something.
Me: Elrond.
My friend: Yeah whatever. Thats all i saw, but it was dead good anyway!
Me: (falls on floor lauging)
My friend: Are you okay? Whats wrong, should I get a teacher?

Ever had an encounter like this?
