I agree with you, Gelenthor, that people should follow their own judgement and not let others define what is cool or right or wrong. I hate narrowmindedness and people who push their beliefs on others. It just proves how parochial they are and how shallow and immature they are being.<P>It really annoys me when people say the LOTR movie was boring. Sure, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but so far no one has provided a good justification for dislking the movie. "Too long" just doesn't cut it...i'm sure they sat through Titanic and Pearl Harbor just fine. Maybe i'm being narrowminded, or maybe i'm not acceptiong others' opinions because they don't think like me, but i seriously believe that anyone who doesn't appreciate the LOTR story and movie...they are just too immature to understand it, and too shallow as well. The movie DOES make you think more than the simple story lines of movies like Titanic/Pearl Harbor, and the people who dont' like it just can't appreciate and beautiful work of art. They OBVIOUSLY don't have the depth of imagination(as someone stated before) to appreciate a well made film. It's not wrong to dislike the movie, of course, but their must be sufficient justification for opinions. I know EXACTLY why i love the movie and books...people who don't like it need to know exactly why they don't. "Too long" and "too boring" just prove their lack of understanding. Ugh. It totally annoys me that people can be so lazy (don't want to think or use their imagination) and superficial! <P>But when it comes down to it...i guess we shouldn't listen to people that immature. And shouldnt' let them annoy us...If they can't appreciate art and classics, that is really their problem and their loss, isn't it?
