Is Lord of the Rings better than Harry Potter?

SimeyC @SimeyC (7) • United States 20 Jul 09

With all of the hype surrounding the new Harry Potter movie, I thought it would be interesting to know if people thought Lord of the Rings was better than Harry Potter? http://www.squidoo.com/LOTR-v-HarryPotter

sjward2009 No question---Lord of the Rings wins, hands down. The Rings was better written, was more complex, and had awesome special effects. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy the Harry Potter movies, but they just cannot compare to an epic movie such as LOR. I could, and...

sjward2009 Ice cream is one of my biggest weaknesses. Summer, fall, winter, spring--doesn't matter..I love it. My very favorite flavor is Ben & Jerry's Creme Brulee. It has a very rich custard base with caramelized sugar swirled throughout--truly decadent. However, I...

What chocolate brand captures your taste buds? How does that brand differ from other brands?

sjward2009 I would choose Godiva. It has a very smooth velvety texture that you do not get with the every day brands. I especially like dark chocolate. It is so much richer and I think actually satisfies your craving for chocolate better as you don't need to eat as much....

sjward2009 The dreaded Swine Flu! I think we need to put this in perspective. While Swine Flu (also called Novel H1N1, S-OIV, etc.), is at pandemic levels, we cannot stop living our lives. You need to evaluate the risk to your children. First of all, Swine Flu is not, to...

sjward2009 If I had to pick one, it would be Stephen King. However, I prefer his older books to the newer ones. He seems to have moved away from true horror and into other areas. My favorite book was "The Stand." It had an awesome story line, flowed well and kept your...

Do you feel younger or older than you actually are?

LovingLife139 @LovingLife139 (1504) • United States 19 Jul 09

My 21st birthday is approaching on July 24, and it has made me stop and think..."That's it?" I've always felt like I should be older than I am. Not in terms of having fun with life, and it's not like I feel bad physically. I just...

sjward2009 I am going to be 46 years old this year and I really do not feel like it. I think that it depends on your outlook and how you view things. I am healthy and enjoy learning new things. I feel like there are always things to look forward to. That is not to say...
