If I'd done it from memory, I'd have gotten 4 or 5 of them wrong, especially the TV movies. So I double checked a bunch on IMDB.

I never even finished reading all that crap at the end of Return of the King. I can't imagine reading a whole other book of that stuff.

I would compare it to an annotated Paradise Lost written by a music loving hippie Jesus freak. It starts out the same way as Disney's Fantasia oddly enough.
