Ha, my wife does this too because she's read the books and I haven't.

It can be hard to accept that something you're really into just isn't interesting to your spouse, but I think it's important to do so.

It's for your own good. Trust him.

I had a friend like that with every comedy movie he liked. He'd just stare at you with a goofy grin prior to every part he thought was funny. He'd look over, grinning, just waiting to see your reaction. He's a great guy, it just made it real uncomfortable to watch a movie with him.

And you will get an explanation either way, each time deeper and longer than the previous… either you live or join the cult, no in between

My husband and I stood in line to watch each movie twice in the theater when they came out. And we've watched it all through on DVD multiple times.

We do have interests and hobbies that don't jive but LOTR is definitely one we share.

Because you need to be sure she’s reacting “correctly”?

Making fun of Legoland every opportunity

Unrelated but your comment reminds me of a time when my daughter was young.

There was some show on TV where a guy fell out of a tall building plummeting to his death (dramatized, not real).

My daughter watches this and screams, "wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

I about burst several internal organs laughing at that one.

Zihuatanejo, in case anyone wanted to know the actual spelling and that it’s a real place.

Shawshank Redemption, The Birdcage, and The Fifth Element are my 3 favorite movies that I will always actively watch when they're on, even if I own all three.

I’d never get any work done if it was on in the “background” at my house.

Truth is, the information contained in this meme is several years old (but accurate). I've seen it thrice by now, and he wasn't nearly as focused on me the third time. So, it does get better.

One part that always makes us laugh is after "Fly, you fools" when there's no spoken audio but you can see/hear Pippin in slowmo going "Frew-dew."
