All I remember of those movies are creepy spiders, FREAKING DISTURBING GOLLUM, and wars. With the occasional funny bit from a hobbit or the dwarf and elf combo. I'd prefer to see as little of the first 3 as possible.
Am I a wimp?
Definitely. And you could always say "I slash at your arm" or whatever. That way it's clear what you're doing but you aren't making it happen to the other person.
Was my advice helpful or annoying?
