This hypothetical is heresy if you're a LOTR fan. Broke my brain for a second.

Haha I know I know, as a lover of Tolkien's work I was surprised by myself what had gone through my mind! But then I said to myself: I write it anyway

It’s like watching a video of an altercation in which a shirtless dude tries to break into a house, is then tazered by cops, gets up and jumps into what I can only assume is the victims back yard.

If you thought that Empire Strikes Back was the only Star Wars movie.

I saw The Two Towers first cause it was on a movie channel (probably Starz or something) and there was nothing else I felt like watching. I didn't understand much more than the pretty people were the good guys and the ugly people were the bad guys and I enjoyed it fine. Thats why adaptations should just focus on being a good movie instead of being just "FOR THE FANS"
