Most recently I watched Fellowship with the Rifftracks going on in the background. I'm pretty sure that this has more or less ruined my ability to take certain portions of the film seriously (which watching it with a crowd of snarkers already had... it's just that these guys are getting paid to make fun of them!).
But it's reached an all-time low now. Even touching scenes such as Sam running down to the Anduin to reach Frodo's boat in time have been superimposed with cries of "Bacon! Bacon!" (Which, granted, is very hobbity... but rather ruins the touching display of loyalty.)
I wonder if there is a way to get a sort of filmic detox, or if I was doomed the moment I reread the books after the films came out?
