I'm surprised he is thinking of doing LotR, I would have thought he had already read that long ago.... or at least would have seen the movie by now.
Not thinking. Doing. Actually doing. He's halfway through The TWO Towers as we speak - according to people on my flist who are reading along. I can't remember the books well enough..to bother.
And no, hasn't see the movies. He's watched mainly male "mainstream" critical fare and read mainstream books. (The X-Files, Breaking Bad, and post 1990.) He's family was very mainstream fundamentalist apparently. So no soaps, no teen dramas (a la My So Called Life or Party of Five), no Angel, Buffy, no LoTR or CS Lewis. You can tell reading his reviews that he did not have a liberal arts background.
