Tim pointed me towards Dave Barry's blog and as if it wasn't good enough all by itself, there was a link to one of Dave's columns, this one about Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.
It is hysterical! Apparently, Barry got a bunch of hate mail about it, and his answer was the same as mine is for any of you who decide to waste your time defending the supposed "greatness" of this movie: GET A LIFE!

Anyway, Barry's piece is truly hilarious... laughed out loud as I read it. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
Posted by: tim at January 30, 2003 1:41 AMokay deb, now you've finally crossed the line and offended me. :) listen, if you would read the books (like i've been telling you for months), you might actually get it. i don't understand how on god's green earth people can fawn all over harry potter and make fun of lord of the rings. and another thing. . .if you could channel some of that negative movie epic energy to the last installment of star wars, i would greatly appreciate it. now, that's a movie that really sucked.
