Needed a lot more time in the oven

... you are looking for a comfortable daily escape.
... the atmosphere is more important to you than the action.
... you want to experience your Lord of the Rings in a completely different way.

You are allergic to hobbits.
... "gemütlich" for you means "cozy".
... it doesn't work for you without action.
