This is my 1000th post! (don't look at my post count, it's that stupid glitch again

)
I always thought that my 1000th post should be in a Tolkien-related thread, but instead, I'll start this one because I can't find any other thread to the same effect.
How did you first get to know Tolkien? When was that? What were your first impressions? etc... etc...
I was introduced to Tolkien through the FoTR movie: after the movie, I couldn't wait for the next one to be released, so I went and bought the book and read it. After that I was so fascinated with ME that I bought The Hobbit and The Silmarillion and became a fan. That was in 2001. My first impression (of the movie) was: "good story and has a bit of meaning, too." My first impression of the book: "too bad they couldn't have made a 10-hour movie!".
