In Reply to: OK, AuPh, you asked for it, so my wife speaks of LOTR posted by Victor Khomenko on January 27, 2004 at 12:41:45:
...of course the only way to appreciate films of this scope and grandeur is from the start; the story is an epic journey and cannot be joined as persuasively in the middle. BTW, it will probably take even more work for her to get into Tolkien's novels, but that's not what we're discussing here.>>> "I guess you didn't want to hear about her reaction from my lips..." <<<
Actually, I think you misunderstood my point. Since our wives do not regularly frequent this site I was simply trying to avoid disparaging your spouse's opinion, which is something many might regard as disrespectful and ungentlemanly, myself included. However, based on the reinforcement she's offering you here I think I have a better grasp of why you always open doors for women at the drop of a hat; apparently, it provides a stronger more intelligent female presence for you to stand behind! ;^)
Seriously, well, not really (grin), but if you REALLY wanna have "dueling wives" LoTR reviews, that can be arranged in the full view of our distinguished Film Asylum audience! My wife, with a record number of "wins" as a successful fantasy author will vie for the vaunted WWF (Women Wrestler Fantasy) belt against your significant other in our noble film forum. It seems like a big enough arena for such an event, but if this wraslin' match is gonna get down and dirty someone else will have to provide the mud, because I'm fresh out! :o)
Cheers,
AuPh
