Nope! Never seen them either. I've tried watching the first one twice now. Fallen asleep within the first 20 minutes both times.

The first 40 minutes or so of the first one is a lot of intro it seems to the first time viewer without the background knowledge (at least it was for my wife). I think things pick up after that, although she pretty much gave up at that point the one time I tried to get her to watch. Maybe the new TV will help

Well, Bren loved them.
The movies or Mark's ears?
Just wasn't a fan of his liberties taken. And they were... okay, especially with such a rich story to start from.

And for a good choice in movies just head about 40km east on the 401 and show up at Bridgey's place... he'll set you up with anything from his collection.
Well, no LOTR, though.

Have you tried watching it at a decent hour? You see, movies are like sex. More enjoyable when the participants aren't tired.

>>I have tried a few times with no success. BORing... Oh how you are missing out on one of the joys of life...Peter Jacksons LOTR. In my opinion it is the best Epic fantasy movie series ever made. It has the ability to transfer you from your living room into another world. Not alot of movies can do that for me, and when one movies does that, I know that its good. If you find it boring, try watching past the first 20 mins of the Fellowship of the ring...

So, you're one of those, are you? I personally can't stand not being able to use something I've just bought within minutes of acquiring it.
