I suspect this wackiness would be even more enjoyable if I’d actually read Tolkien… Recreations of two epic battles done with candy: Helms Deep and Pelennor Fields.

I’m possibly going to get howled down by rabid Tolkien fans here, but (having read the books many years ago) I think that simply seeing the movies would be suffcient for a “cultural knowledge” of LoTR. When I saw the first of the LOTR movies, I can remember thinking “Good Grief, this incredibly cliched”. Of course the LoTR books are the origin of the cliches, but the movies really felt like every fantasy cliche written large. I would also say that given that the audience for LOTR was well above that for any other fantasy film or book, that the general public “discourse” or “perception” of fantasy is that fantasy is LoTR.
