Well, I now own all thre LOTR movie on DVD and have watched them many times over. Not to mention the fact that I have spent many years poring over the books like the Warren Comission over the Zapruder Film. This has lead me to an undeniable conclusion; I am a big big NERD.

Following is a list to tell when you have seen the LOTR films too much.

1. Short women with hairy feet are starting to look cute.
2. Whenever a moth flies near you, you try to tell it to go get the big eagles.
3. During your duties as best man, you have to inform the groom that you no longer have the ring because you threw it into Mount Doom.
4. You carry an axe.
5. You start referring to McDonald's Meal Deals in Goblin, Orc and Urukai sizes.
6. You're not nearly as impressed by Elves as you once were.
7. You name your first son "Strider".
8. You previous fear of spiders has diminished because, well, at least they're not as big as Shelob.
9. You think you can take a Balroq.
10. You start getting reprimanded at your job as a school crossing guard beacuse you keep jabbing your staff into the pavement and yelling, "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"

I'm also a LOTR nerd. I just spent all saturday watching them. ALL saturday. If you count a couple bathroom breaks I was sitting in front of the TV for 12 hours at once.
We have some frinds who named their daughter Eowyn. I named my dog Strider.

11. You tell your teachers "a tree ate my homework"
12. You become estatic when you discover that the freezing rain last night put enough of an ice coat on the snow that you can walk on top of it
13. You know what LOTR, FOTR, TTT, ROTK, and Sil mean and use them often
14. You ask for the "second breakfast menu" when you go to a restaurant.
15. No one bothers to ask what you want for your Birthday or Christmas.
16. You have a nickname related to the Lord of the Rings.
17. You respond to it.
18. You can't say "yes" without ending it in "precious."
19. You know (and can play) at least 1 track from a LOTR soundtrack on every instrument you play. (I can)
20. You listen to the LOTR cast saying "welcome to Lord of the Rings.net" over and over again.



While we're on the subject of LOTR, I was standing with a couple fellow LOTR geeks and we were talking about the Black Riders. We were not very near any civillization at the time, and we hear this screech/scream/cry that sounded EXACTLY like the cry that the black riders make in the movies. It was FREAKY.

21. When your ‘friend’ says something bad about Lord of the Rings, you kick them or throw them into a trashcan.
22. After you threw them in a trash can, you muttered, “fool of a Took…”
23. When you listen to music other than Lord of the Rings related, you pick up on the slightest similarities between the two, and visualize the scene where that music was.
24. Whenever you see Arwen in the movie, you chant "We want Glorfindel! We want Glorfindel!"

Ahhh... Glorfindel. The poor chap really got buggered in the movie deal.

25. you begin to use the word "hasty" on a regular basis
26. the only reason you'd consider smoking tobacco is because hobbits do, and they're just so cool
27. you do the gollum voice at least once a day
28. you at least once attempted (possibly succeeded) to learn how to read and write the elf language in the LOTR appendix
29. you claimed that you would make awesome LOTR movies sometime, and it would be over 3 hours a movie... then Peter Jackson beat you and all of us to it
30. you cried at the end of TTT when you thought Frodo died... (i did)
31. you have a bumper sticker that says "Ent-Hugger"
32. you actually enjoyed the council of elrond chapter in TTT

LOL these are great here is a list I found of things not to due at A LOTR movie:

1. Stand up halfway through the movie and yell loudly, "Wait... where the hell is Harry Potter?"
2. Block the entrance to the theater while screaming: "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"
3. Play a drinking game where you have to take a sip every time someone says: "The Ring."
4. Point and laugh whenever someone dies.
5. Ask everyone around you if they think Gandalf went to Hogwarts.
6. Finish off every one of Elrond's lines with "Mr. Anderson."
7. When Aragorn is crowned king, stand up and at the top of your lungs sing, "And I did it.... MY way...!"
8. Talk like Gollum all through the movie. At the end, bite off someone's finger and fall down the stairs.
9. Dress up as old ladies and reenact "The Battle of Helms Deep" Monty Python style.
10. When Denethor lights the fire, shout "Barbecue!"
11. Every time Elrond appears, shout out (in your best 'Dobby' voice) "Clothes! Master gave Elrond Clothes!"
12. In TTT when the Ents decide to march to war, stand up and shout "RUN FOREST, RUN!"
13. Every time someone kills an Orc, yell: "That's what I'm Tolkien about!" See how long it takes before you get kicked out of the theatre.
14. During a wide shot of a battle, inquire, "Where's Waldo?"
15. Talk loudly about how you heard that there is a single frame of a nude Elf hidden somewhere in the movie.
16. Start an Orc sing-a-long.
17. Come to the premiere dressed as Frankenfurter and wander around looking terribly confused.
18. When they go in the paths of the dead, wait for tense moment and shout, "I see dead people!"
19. Imitate what you think a conversation between Gollum, Dobby and Yoda would be like.
20. Release a jar of daddy-long-legs into the theater during the Shelob scene.
21. Wonder out loud if Aragorn is going to run for governor of California.
22. When Shelob comes on, exclaim, "Man! Charlotte's really let herself go!"
24. After the movie, say "Lucas could have done it better."

lol

Lol! Great list!
How about:
25.get up to the screen when the ring is on and rub it saying "My precious"
26.to add to .25, ripping the screen where the ring is and shouting "It's mine, it's mine!"

LOL!

I watch the movies and become angry. That means that I read the books too many times I guess!

Astinus, let me guess, you never got over the whole "Bombadill Fiasco", eh?

You start thinking to yourself, "Self, Jar-Jar binks is a acting GENIUS!"

Oh wait....LOTR....OH GOD, I'm in the wrong thread, I thought....I'm so embarrased.

I actually didn't feel that Bombadil was very neccessary in the movie, but that's me on that.

But I still felt angry, didn't like no2 of the movies, it went through to fast. Lost lots of details, could have been so much better...

But it isn't easy to make 3 movies on each around 3 hours, when he could have made 6 movies with 10 hours of stuff and still it would been great...

I like you, you're a funny guy...

haha

Aw shucks.....(I'm now accepting further compliments....anyone...anyone?)

Oh whoops, can't edit anymore...huh. Anyway, my inspiration (who I look up to really) would have to be stewie from Family Guy. He's hilarious...haha.

P.S. What the deuce?

Their smokin TOBACCO??...OOOPS

Sorry, but as Merry and Pippin sat upon the shattered walls of Isenguard, the clearly had the munchies. Tobacco does not give you the munchies!

LoL. That is just one thing. I also did not like them adding people to battles, and adding battles that never took place, and nearly killing people that never nearly died. Let us not forget the ENTIRE Helm's Deep battle, and how they changed almost everything about it. I have issues with Peter Jackson and feel he disgraced the classic literary Trilogy.

Astinus... you are a big NERD! Seriously, I see your point. But hollywood often has to make some changes to update the story or to halp it flow better in this decidely different medium. So they throw Aragorn off a cliff and Treebeard is stealing Bombadil's lines. I expected a bit of that, actually more, to be honest. So I had to approach these films as "adaptations" and nothing more. Frankly, I think Jackson stayed far more true to the books than most any other director would have.

I could just see the hobbits carrying lasers, and going back in time in a Delorian and Gandolf played by Vin Deisel or some other crap like that! And Hollywood would be so proud of themselves because they achieved their ultimate goal of making the movie visually-stimulating enough to look kick-ass on a Taco Bell collectors cup.

I say we thanks our lucky stars that the movie version of the story still carried through with grace and integrity.

By the way, which battle never took place?

Good Point about the munchies. Besides that in FOTR Saruman makes a comment to Gandalf about smokin pipeweed with the hobbits has made him lose his senses. That's not the accurate quote, sorry.
HMMM, Wonder what a OZ of Shire Bottom Leaf sold for??

On the street or in the clubs?
