Indeed the A.A.'s are very annoying. (and no that doesn't stand for Alcoholic Anounamus) I once watched ROTK in the theater and there was this guy bragging to his friends about how well his knowledge was. Of course you can brag to your friends, I don't mind. But this guy was ranting from the ticket box till the seats and afther the previeuws he still went going. And believe me, it was very annoying considering the fact that he was sitting NEXT TO ME.
So he went on making stupid comments, making them up as he went, untill I had enough. When the corronation of Aragorn was taking place, and Eowyn came into screen he said: Eowyn still has a secret love for Aragorn and will die of her griefs.
So I just leaned over and said: Eowyn is happely married to Faramir and is going to life in Ithilien stupid. Would you now please be quite so I can watch at peace?
Needless to say he wasn't so populair with his friends afther the movie was over. But you know what the fun thing is? He was in the same train as me afther the movie and he asked me all kinds of stuff. He tolled me he had started in Fotr, but had only made it untill the birthday party. I also tolled him about the silm and he was really excited. So sometimes an A.A. isn't an A.A. but just goes a little further than his knowledge because of excitement.
For myself, I went to Fotr, totaly clueless of what the heck it was. I only had gotten a puzzle from lotr for x-mas, cuz my cousing thought it looked pretty cool. Which it did, but I had no clue what it was. I was puzzled so to speak. So after fotr I went again, and again, and again, and then I was out of money and for my birthday I got the book and later on the silm. The hobbit and the adventures of Tom Bombadil I got from the library, so it can always turn out ok.
