We all know who the real lord of the rings is, Cowboy Neil! I mean that literally rather than metaphorically which is what is so grim about it

!!!!SPOILERS BELOW!!!!
In Return of the King, after Faramir repents trying to steal the ring from Frodo, he is slain defending Merry and Pippin when an orc hurls a Palantir at his head.
Pippin picks this up, and finds that it is a secret link to Sauron's trusty old Win2k Server in the basement of the Dark Tower, Barad-Dur.
Later, as Gondor is brought to its knees by Mordor's military might, all hope seems lost of the Ring-bearer finding his way to Orodruin without being noticed - until Pippin, revealing himself through the Palantir, begins a systematic hacking of Barad-Dur's internal network that diverts Sauron's attention.
Ebert and Roeper give the movie "Two thumbs up!", stating, "A glorious blend of epic fantasy and a science-fiction hackfest. If only we could all be as l33t as p1pp1n!"
Not only that; Lucas cut out all the interesting parts.
But I really didn't want to see Jar Jar naked.
Yeah, yeah! And the bible! It's not one book its several too! I hate it when people call it a book! Let's get together and start a club!

I suppose this will get modded down to Troll status.....but LoTR has surpassed Star Wars, anime/hentai, "Wizard" magazine, and even Star Trek as quite possibly the geekiest thing ever. Remember the thread here on /. about the people who'd invented an Elvish language and all the hoots they got?
I'm sick of hearing about it. This from a man who has watched & followed SW religiously since 1977; was a devoted fan of ST until B5 came along, and who can't wait for the next Alan Moore comic book.
Jeez, guys. Remember the girls and how they perceive you and your peer group. Gollum's ass-crack is only computer generated. There are plenty of real ass-cracks on real females in the real world.
Just a little friendly advice.
