"I really don't know how to talk about the LOTR without holding my nose."

Replace "holding" with "turning up" and you'd be more accurate. I didn't particularly enjoy this movie either. I'm not into the fantasy/sword and sorcery genre myself, particularly when it's presented with homosexual overtones. But why are you taking it so personally that other people enjoy it?
You "shall let AuPh celebrate a bit"? Well, isn't that generous of you - to allow someone to praise a film that's *gasp* "more Hollywood than Hollywood itself"?
You admitted to watching TV, but managed to mitigate this faux pas by location (in Russia, where TV is undoubtably superior) and duration (only "sometimes"). But even while stooping to such a common form of entertainment, you "couldn't keet buy wonder - what happened to the formerly formidible Australian movie art", thus retaining the elevation of your proboscis.
In another thread you express "horror" that an Amazon soundtrack search for a Fellini film turned up the Lord of the Rings soundtrack! How did you survive such an insult!
I can only assume you are now awaiting the brief and poorly-written words of praise from your clique-mate in France. Or is it Germany? I forget. There's a fine line between expressing an erudite opinion on a matter of taste and simply being snobbish. You're not even close to that line.
