LOTR survey
There's a group of Welsh academics conducting a survey on The Lord of the Rings trilogy. I'm probably the only person I know who isn't totally geeked about the whole phenomenon. Actually, after I saw the first LOTR movie, I said to myself, "Self, that movie was almost as bad as Magnolia." Remember Magnolia? P.T. Anderson's overly long, overly dramatic, and thoroughly underwhelming follow up to Boogie Nights (a great movie) that involved me shifting in my seat for three hours wondering when the hurting was going to stop. That's how I felt about LOTR. Except LOTR had Hobbits whereas Magnolia had frogs...

I agree with you full on 100%....save the part about Boogie Nights being a great movie.
Paul Thomas Pretentious Anderson has a legacy of bad overly dramatic obnoxious movies....and possibly has a love affair with William H Macy.

LOTR would have been an infinitely better movie had Hugo Weaving worn one of his fantastic frocks...or perhaps that silly dress made out of flip-flops. And if only there was a giant shoe involved in the story...

Tastes differ. I like LOTR as well as Magnolia. I think both movies are really great!!
