Oh, yeah! The first time I read it, way back when, I was an Tolkien 
fanatic. I can still recite large passages of The Hobbit and  LOTR 
by heart, which is a good parlor trick. 

And I enjoyed TTT too, though a few times I wondered exactly 
what the filmmakers thought they were doing. Tolkien, of course 
thought that fantasy, what he called fairy story, should not be 
dramatized at all, though he made an exception for the 
"cinematograph." 

That  "Aragorn falls of the cliff" subplot  seemed to have 
wandered in from an Indiana Jones pic. I wondered if he would 
come back for his hat...

Anyway, once long ago, when dinosaurs ruled the Earth and 
people were still wearing love beads,  I bought the BOTR parody 
and settled down on the front steps of the Art Institute of Chicago, 
which was a well-known hippie (remember them?) hang out. I 
started laughing so hard that people kept coming up and asking 
if they should call Acid Rescue.
