Last year my friends and I went to see the movie at the theatre. Afterwards, everyone said they loved it, except one. He ( my friend will remain anonomous being that he might be reading this right now since he is such an anti-LOTR obssessed person; he goes online to anti LOTR websites. He even goes on websites like this and pretends he likes Tolkien..so watch out for anyone suspicious.)<BR>said the movie "sucked", and that he hated it because it had no ending." That wizard guy should have used some sort of magical shield to block the snow on the mountain,"<BR>he says,"and that blonde elf dude, why does he not sink in the snow? Oh and how come he has no sword, all he has are those stupid little arrows that do nothing. I could have made a better movie.You are so wierd to watch such a lame movie. And I thought elves were short. This movie is so cliche and FAKE!" Those were his words, and as I stood there I could not seem to bring any words to my mouth because I was so angry. I also felt like laughing because ..well..you would laugh if you saw the expression on his face. It was as if someone had insulted his mother,<BR>and he was threatening to fight back! What would you have said to him in this situation that would not be insulting ( being that he is a good friend.) Also, have you had any similiar situations? What did you do?
