Lord of the Rings

Within the last couple weeks I've seen all 3 of the Lord of the Rings movies for the first time. Today was opening day for the 3rd one at the theaters and I went with a bunch of guys from work.

Most of them have read the book, which I can't even imagine because... that would suck. I mean, seriously that is a stupid amount of reading... Having seen the movies, however, I think that it is one of the greatest stories ever written. Waiting until now to see all 3 was the best thing I could have done, especially since I knew NOTHING about them. I think that something about seeing them ALL for the first time in such a short period made them even better. I had no time to anticipate, guess, hope, or expect anything out of them.

Anyway... pointless article, but great story.
