Buddy, if you're 30, overweight, still have braces, and live with your parents, please don't get an obsession with fantasy. It's the final nail in the coffin. Yes, take off the Hobbit vest. Cut your hair. Get a job, move out. Stop playing Magic cards. Furthermore, don't cheer when the opening credits come on. And don't bicth about how Peter Jackson cut this out or cut that out. You try to compress a massive trilogy into three movies that are presentable and not nine hours long each. While you're at it, stop playing Warhammer.
The only thing freakier than Lord of the Rings fanatics are the Harry Potter fanatics. Not the little kids, the adults. I think it's great that Harry Potter is teaching so many kids to love reading and mass purchasing again, but his appeal should really be legally limited to those under 16. I've seen guys walking into Harry Potter theatres (alone I might add) and they were wearing the full regalia: glasses, scarf, lightning bolt on the forehead. What is the freaky quotient on these guys? If they start up a Lifestyles Awards show I nominate adult Harry Potter fans for the "Pity/Stupefyingly Pathetic" category.
