I had the same feeling when at the end of The Fellowship of the Ring one woman commented "But the story hasn't finished. How can the film have ended without finishing the story". I think both I and her boyfriend felt like hitting our heads against a wall or maybe better would have been hitting her head against a wall.

I had a similar incident only it was a guy actually exclaiming in a Barnes and Noble I frequented at," Lord of the Rings is a book?!"

I've had an ordinarily intelligent young woman insist that the books were an adaptation of the movie. Even when I showed her the copyright date on the copy I was reading. Even when I explained to her the concept of copyright law.
