I don't know who was talking about LOtR a while ago, but it's definitely on TNT right now. Return of the King. Tuned in about 3/4ths in...so I still haven't seen any of them from the beginning

I actually tried reading the books.

Yikes. That was a mistake

Didn't they used to have "Trial on the Isle" in Sea Isle and NOT Stone Harbor?

Or am I misremembering?

My god I hated it. I gave it a real try too. I wanted it to work out.

It was like 2 summers ago. I was 120 pages in, and the only thing that had happened was Frodo and Sam walked.

The most riveting part of the story was when one of those black knight things came by on a horse and they hid behind a tree. That was the only "action" in 100+ pages

You're not giving the books theor proper due... While i agree Tolkien lacks action, his prose and mastery of the English language are second to none. He's like a nicely aged bourbon... Need to acquire the taste znd dont "mix" it with soda or juice.
