I would definitely line up for 'The Lord of the Rings.' I'm a huge 'Lord of the Rings' geek.

I like mythology - anything historical.

I love action-adventure-type films - mythical adventures like 'Lord of the Rings' or superhero films like 'Batman.'

'Star Wars' is mythology. It's like Greek mythology or Shakespeare. It's the story of good versus evil over a very long span of time. The storytelling is universal and timeless.

When I was a kid, I loved 'The Curse of Frankenstein,' 'The Creeping Unknown,' 'X: The Unknown.' I love 'Forbidden Planet,' 'The Thing from Another World.' They were science fiction/horror movies, generally.

I'm a big fan of the misunderstood, the vilified, the underdog, the breaking of myths.

Lord of the Rings, I think, is far and away the most brilliantly done stuff.

'Lord of the Rings' was about saving the world, big time, big duties.

Man, I love the 'Lord of the Rings' movies. Some people would say I'm weird for liking those types of movies, but they are so cool.

'The Lord of the Rings,' published in the mid-1950s, was intended as a prehistory to our own world. It was perceived by Tolkien to be a small but significant episode in a vast alternate mythology constructed entirely out of his own imagination.
