Cool thread idea.
What things in your life still stand out as different from Pre-Movie-Trilogy days?
-- Quenya!
-- Like
Helen, my wardrobe. But that could also be because when FotR came out, I was in 8th grade, and was in 10th when RotK came out. I think a change in tastes generally comes with that stage anyway. Even so, I have bought some elvish-style things that I probably wouldn't be into if not for LotR.
Are there things you did because of the movie trilogy that have made a real change in how you see yourself, or how others see you?
-- Well, I am now viewed as one of the dorkiest people in my school...
-- LotR really sparked my interest in fanfiction as well. It expanded from just LotR to all other fandoms and now I have over 60 stories (most of them are one-shots, mind you!) posted at fanfiction.net.
Are there movie-related things that you wish you had done, that you never quite got around to? How much do you regret the missed opportunity?
-- I have not yet gotten friends together to watch all three extended editions back-to-back-to-back. But I will!
Have you maintained any LOTR-related hobbies, habits, or traditions that you didn't have before the movie came out?
-- Hmm... already said fanfiction. And thanks to
TGWBS I've started learning Quenya again.
Are you "so over" something LOTR-movie related?
-- Mr. Bloom. I confess, there was a time when I thought he was oh-so-purty. Then I found all the awful Mary-Sue Legomances and the stage ended relatively quickly.
