    The Lord of the Rings (1978) Review

    for those of us who've forgotten....yes this was a horrible film
    A brave little theory, and actually quite coherent for a system of five or seven dimensions -- if only we lived in one.

    Actually, I didn't think it was so bad for what it was intended.

    It certainly doesn't compare to Peter Jackson's version but I though it was good for what it was worth.

    It was nice to see some of Tolkien's characters come to life, so to speak, on the big screen.

    I enjoyed it when it came out & now have it on DVD.

    That movie was the very first that me and my family ever taped, when we finally bought our first VCR years and years ago. I have fond memories of the picture just because of that! Oh, and I still have that tape....somewhere.

    I actually bought the VHS tape many years ago. I keep it around in case I need to bootstrap an eating disorder.
