I know that at this rate, I won't be able to finish reading Fellowship of the Rings before watching the movie. And I can't recall the plot since it's been nearly a decade since I last read it. So I've resorted to cheating. Today I went to buy the Warner Bros cartoon VCD movie adaptation of Lord of the Rings and I'm going to watch it first instead. In this way, I'll be able to grasp the plot better and focus on more details when I watch the new movie.

No, it doesn't make sense. It doesn't need to.
