LOTR is amazing. I suppose as an actual reader, I understand how amazing it is more than those who merely rely upon the visual version. The same goes for GoT. The show kind of sucks compared to the books.

Reading is more fundamental than allowing your brain to rot in front of the television; learn it.

I don't regret watching the film first.. sometimes I feel that the movies are better than the novels; don't misunderstand me, I respect reading a lot, but you have "Fight Club" for example, everybody says that the movie is so much better than the actual book, well if the actors are the right pick, it will be a "unforgetable" experience..

A picture speaks a thousand words !!

umm but if you would rate, how much do you give the movie, and how much would you give the novel?

That's what I call audience participation. Where do I sign?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Reading these threads I'm glad I can watch a movie without inflicting myself with so much confusion and angst. If that's what gets you off, by all means have your fun-equivalent. I'm old-school. We watched "The Ten Commandments" and didn't wonder how Moses' mom constructed a reed boat without any dilithium crystals.
