I'm a hardcore Tolkienite so I should probably be really offended. (When I was 12 I attacked a boy in my class with my book when he said Harry Potter was better).

But, alas, I have mellowed as I have aged. Tolkien isn't for everyone, it's all the differences that makes the world an interesting place.

I'm glad you enjoyed the movies, I have friends who like them but haven't read the books, I just prattle on about the changes and background info, as they usually have a lot of questions they don't mind.

That being said, I've hung out with the purists and yes, we can be a bit snobby to movie!fans. So, I'm sorry if you've had to deal with that. You excited for the Hobbit films, OP?

I will see them because I saw the first three and I'm a fan of Ian McKellen and movies in general. Also a completionist.

ell, if I could sit through Avatar for the scenery porn, I'll sit through just about anything.

If you liked Fellowship, you might enjoy the Hobbit a bit more. It's kinda like Fellowship-lite, with a linear storyline, and Bilbo as the main focus.

That being, said they are changing stuff in the films.

how old are you now, since you've 'mellowed with age' and are talking about Harry Fucking Potter.

*eyeroll*

I'm only 20, but I don't see how that stops me from mellowing over eight years.

I mean, I'm not going gloss over it, when I was preteen I was a rabid, crazy fangirl, who flamed anybody that disagreed with her. As I got older, I started to care less when people disagreed with me, and now I'm not really bothered when somebody says Tolkien isn't their thing.

I would considered that having 'mellowed'. I'm not quite sure what offends you so, but if you could tell me what I've done wrong I'm open to correcting myself in future.

(DA) A lot of people were rabid, crazy ass fanpeople. They just don't admit it. I'll admit that when you said you attacked a guy, my first thought was, "What, not physically, I hope" because the phrasing kind of made it sound like you were bragging. Since you weren't bragging but admitting a flaw, I think it's pretty admirable that you didn't try to soften it up.

Thanks! :)

I'm sorry if it sounded like I was bragging, I wasn't intended that way, I was just trying to give an example of how rabid I was.

I was the most awful, bratty preteen. I'm not proud of it, but atleast I can I say I've matured.

Hasn't HP been around since the mid-90's? That's a while.

I was a terrible, angry 12 year old. Puberty did things to me!

I agree with you. The books certainly are not for everyone. That said, I NEVER read the actual English version, I read the Portuguese translation which is commonly available where I come from, so maybe I had it easier. :P (not that ever helped me finish the Silmarillion/Unfinished Tales, out of all the books, except maybe the new one which I don't have, those were the only ones I could never bear to finish).
