I, and quite a few film critics, don't think ROTK is trash. (Not that you care to mathoms for my opinion or theirs.)

Many people *don't* feel it dumbs down or appeals to the lowest common denominator. ROTK will obviously not be everyone's cinematic cup of tea. But it is NOT "trash". Au contraire, along with Weir's Master & Commander, I think it redeems commercial filmmaking for fall 2003.

If you want trash...there's plenty of it currently in theaters, including that pretentious trash disguised as an epic The Last Samurai.

Anyhoot, I got L'Atalante cued up inn the DVD player...catch y'all later.
