by now. However, it IS rude to post major spoilers like that, epecially in the subject line; this is especially true because the movies are HUGE blockbusters, and some people want the experience to be genuine, from start to finish. They don't want to know what happens. What you did here was incredibly rude. So what if the books have been out for a long time? People who watch the movies without reading the books are watching for a totally different reason than those of us who love the books: they want to know what happens. Those of us who love the books are going more to see how well they bring Tolkien's vision, and our own, to the big screen. Don't do us a disservice by painting us as assholes. Many people find the movigoing experience more enjoyable than reading, so let them be. Please put 'spoilers' or some other kind of warning in the subject line next time.
That is all.
