        Why are they comparing the two? There is no comparison. LOTR is a series that will be talked about forever; Twilight is a series that will be forgotten 10 years from now.

        I'm not a medieval adventure guy by any means but I love LOTR. It's the ultimate adventure story. Even though I've seen the movies countless times, thinking of watching them again gives me a sense of this vast quest. It's like the immersion that playing a video game can give without actually being a video game, though I'm sure there are video game adaptations of it. If not, there should be.

          The only comparison is both of them had a forbidden love story angle to them.

          In the LOTR series you had a Elf Princess who was in love with a human prince.

          In Twilight you had a vampire in love with a human.

            And in LOTR that was a side story....in the books it was BARELY even mentioned but is discussed more in the Appendices. Jackson did a good job of working it into the films though. Aragorn's character needed the motivation of her to step up and accept the weight of his responsibilities.

            In Twilight, the romance is the focus of the whole series, which brings on a series of events.

            Comparing these two is crazy, as was already mentioned. I am LOTR-crazy, and I even liked Twilight as a guilty pleasure (Ashley Greene, oh my). I know Twilight has poor writing and acting, but it's like a fast food lunch; tasty but little redeeming nutritional value.

            LOTR is more like a complete five course dinner at a four-star restaurant.

                  The meme could have used Titanic as the comparison. That would make more sense.

                    If I get any **** at work about calling in sick yesterday after rushing back from half a country away today to get in for my shift today I'm murdering everyone there. I flew from Connecticut to Chicago, Chicago to Milwaukee, then drove from Milwaukee to La Crosse, which is literally border to border and takes over 3 hours.

                    And before you ask, by the time I realized "Holy ****, I'm actually doing this" (I had convinced myself every step of the way that something would **** it all up until all of a sudden there were no obstacles left anymore) it was too late to ask off formally so I just decided to call in.

                    The point is I'm ****ing exhausted already.

                      Just took a quick glance, and I think I have the only bracket on ESPN that's 4 for 4.

                      That's gotta be worth something right!? RIGHT!?

                        Never feel bad about calling out. Especially since it was for a dream trip. I would've just said I'm in ESPN bitches, see you on Sportscenter LIVE at 6
