He likes lord of the rings

I don’t care what he likes. Is he tall and rich?

Harry Potter is better than LotR.

I Liked the book, The Hobbit. After I read it when I was like 10, I read the first half of the first LotR book and the last half of the last book. The movies were passionately done, but they kind of sucked in my opinion. I watched all of them and the first Hobbit movie, but I quit when I saw they ruined the parts I liked. I may have watched the trilogy here and there a couple of times, but it was usually just to spend time with my dad. He's been dead for 3 years now and I have no inclination to wrewatch them anymore. LotR is overrated, just like GoT, just like all the other mainstream "fantasy" bullshit the mainstream plebs love.

I recently read all the books mostly just to say I did. They are very alright. Flashes of brilliance (especially the parts that deal with the ring and its temptation), but 90% of it is awkwardly written and not that interesting overall

>awkwardly written
Tolkien was a language professor. Obviously it was above your reading level.

Pretty easy to beat 12 hours of essentially a bunch of characters walking to a fucking volcano. Yeah ok fine it looked pretty but holy fuck it was boring.

No idea what any of that is, and also don't care. Stop watching movies and tv. Return to book.

I read the hobbit and an halfway through fellowship. It's eh. Robin Hobb's first six books were better

No need to be rude. I read every night before bed, silly. Have you read Project Hail Mary? It was written by the same person that wrote The Martian it was soooooo good. What movies do you like? (Other than star watever and nerd of the rings haha)

Unforgiven, Lost in Translation, Taxi Driver, Pride and Prejudice

He was a linguistics professor which has absolutely nothing to do with narrative writing as an art. Especially in RotK the writing can be incredibly stilted and often adopts a pseudo-Biblical style that is very heavy-handed and cheesy. His obsession with fake history really brings the pacing down as well. That sort of stuff is only for hardcore escapist fantasy nerds. The few instances where he really seems to write with any conviction are when he deals with the temptations of the Ring, which does have a certain universal appeal that transcends the book's fantasy trappings.

Shut up faggot

liker of the hobbit movies here. pretty sure everyone hates me
