I just finished watching the movies Friday, and I have to admit they have affected my mental images of the characters. It's not constant, though. Sometimes I'll read a line and hear the actor's voice in my head, it's so movie!character. Other times it's a firmer, slightly movie-influenced image I'd come up with before watching the films. Other times I can't see the actor in my head at all, it's pure mental!character.

I'm almost embarrassed to confess I like the Bakshi Merry and Pip just as well, and in some ways better than, PJ's Hobbits. Boromir is slightly closer to mental!Boromir as well.
