It is true. I've found (since I am in the same boat, reading the books after seeing the movies) that movie images flash through my head when I read LotR, I don't like this. But thankfully doesn't when I read the Sil.

That sometimes happens to me, too. However, I draw a lot, and I've found that drawing things from the book helps me to imagine them more originally. You might try it.

Speaking of which, the Barrow-downs should have a fan art page.

I think they used to, waaaay back in the day. The random generator still does a good job of non-filmic-based images.

Oh, and Obligatory Self Promotional Linking: I totally just did a thread on mental pictures and if/how the films have influenced them and how possibly to counter that.

...Wow, that sounds arrogant.
