Did I see it? No.

You know, there are different kinds of dreck, or merde as you put it.

There is the kind that I can and will and have watched, and either laughed along (The Dumb and Dumber, for instance... sorry to admit), or cheered along (things like Death Wish or some Eastwood films), or enjoyed - in the short term, of course - for the miriad of other reasons. I dunno... some female beauty... some humor... whatever. Should I mention the Clueless? He-he...

There are many trashy films that I have watched more than once - several Stalone and Bruce Willis films, for instance. I know they are trashy and do not contribute one iota to the world of art, but there had something in them that made them entertaining.

But there is another kind of shit that is put simply, so boring I refuse to watch it even if I have nothing better to do and it is the only film on the cable.

The Star War is one such example. The LOTR is another.

Having seen the clips I knew I would not like it so I never saught it. But when a friend stopped by to watch it, I tried to watch along... well, I wanted to leave the room after a minute.

My wife stepped into the room, watched for ten seconds, then shrugged her shoulders, made a face to me and left. I stayed a bit longer.

So given that experience I will not see the last - who knows, maybe indeed the last... can we hope? - film in the series.

As I always say - I probably have only see about 10% or less of all good and great films in the world - so why should I waste my time on stuff like LOTR?
