On LJ recently a friend of mine was ritually slagging off litrature. As part of this lengthly rant she made the comment "Even crapper than LOTR and that’s saying something". When I queried her and asked her to justify this statement she replied "isn't it already justified enough? that their emotions, relationships, lives are totally unreal. totally too reserved. too untrue?"
Unfortunately I have been cursed with good manners from an early age and couldn't bring myself to type down some of the statements that sprang to mind. I simply explained in polite terms that of course LotR seemed strange whe you aren't used to it. However if she does it again I am going to drop the 'everyone is entitled to their own opinion' attitude and let her have it!
