Iarwain, you're killing me, here. LOL. I'm sitting here trying to picture what 2/5 of a fan might look like. Would that be an actual person who's shorter than a hobbit, or just a pair of legs?Don't kill me though, because I agree with you. However, I'd like to take it a step further. See if you like these definitions...Tolkien fan: Anyone who has READ and enjoyed as many Tolkien works as they could get their hands on.LotR fan: Anyone who has read and enjoyed FotR, TTT and RotK only.Movie fan: Anyone who has both enjoyed the movies and the books.Peter Jackson fan: Anyone who has only seen the movies, not read the books and drools over any of the stars.Now, you can be a Tolkien fan and a movie fan, or a LotR fan and a movie fan but if you're a Peter Jackson fan, you can't be anything else until you've read a book.How's that?
