It isn't possible, but I want to be as memory free as possible for the
film. I had just re-read FOTR before the film and my mind WOULD NOT stop
shouting comparisons to me during the initial screening. I wasn't able to
see the film at all until screening #2 or #3.
TTT went much better for me. I plan to dive back in to the series as
sooon as the ROTK is movie viewing history (Dec. 18).
In the meantime I am enjoying all the perephial Tolkien writing (Sil, Lost
Tales) like never before. They don't encroach on my movie experience and in
fact enhance it. Anybody else in this
boat?
