Welcome, Mithranduil! As far as I know, you're the first Brazilian Downer.

I think your acronyms are recognizable, no worries. Enjoy yourself!

Thanks Pervinca!

Well, Inziladun (what a hard name to spell :P), I'm honored to be the first then! Thank you!

How active is are the boards here? Also, does the majority of people here prefer the books and doesn't like the movies ? I thought so at a quick glance at some forums but I want to be sure.

And please, if someone's curious about me, just ask anything

The activity level varies somewhat, and there are periods during the year when a lot of members are absent, but there are generally at least one or two active threads at any given time.

I would say that generally speaking we here are fairly critical of the movies, but there are also many who quite enjoy them. I fall into the former category, but feel free to express your own opinion however you like.

Welcome, Mithranduil!

Yeah, as Inzil said, sometimes it's more active, sometimes less, but I would thank anybody who brings a thread (or subforum) back to life, as I'm sure most here would.

Many of us here are critical of the movies, but there's a range of how critical people are. And if you find that someone disagrees with you on your take of the movie - heck, disagreeing is what this place is about. A different opinion is a good thing to have.

Differing opinions isn't always a good thing, especially when a Vala is going to ruin everyone's lives because of it.

I doubt Mithranduil has any sinister intentions. TORN already has the job of hunting down movie-haters.

Actually, my intentions are solely sinister and evil, Morgoth is my favorite character from The Silma *grins evilly*

(kidding!)

No, seriously, though. You wanna know what my real intention is? Guess away!

(is it ok to keep off-topic here?)
