As a kid, I had never heard of "Lord of the Rings" - even though it's pretty old. I played the FF games and dicoverd "Mithrill" (or should I say "mythril" - since I began with FFVII) as a strong metal. This of course is a tribute to Lord of the Rings, Mithrill is a metal (I think) made up by that story.

Years later the film comes out - of course, I don't realize that the film is based on a book.

Someone mentions "Mithrill" - and I think "hey cool! - the makers of this film must be FF fans too!".

So, ok guys, how stupid am I?
