To nobody's surprise, all of you nasty little hobbitses have been getting busy at the box office for the theater re-release of the Lord of the Rings trilogy: in a few short weekends, the whole thing grossed over $7 million. As we know, the Tolkien fandom doesn't come to play when dealing with their favorite series of movies.
At the same time, the real fans also know that some of the best parts of the experience don't require spending a single dime. I am of course talking about the irresistible strain of LOTR humor that can be found on the internet, mostly in the form of memes. Week after week, we realize that there is no limit on the amount of jokes that the Tolkien experts can squeeze out of those novels and extended editions. We're not complaining, because it gives us an excuse to think about Middle-earth even more.
