We use 'teenyboppers' in Australia... basically overly-excitable preteens and teens who wear too much make-up, listen to too much pop music and only watch LOTR to squeal over the sexy men.
I've heard the term twinky o.O It sounds like basically the same thing. |

"Teenybopper" is a very old term that was in use when I was that age -- a pre- to early teenage girl that is very excitable when it comes to popular young actors/singers/musicians. It surfaced around the same time as "Beatlemania," and most of you know that time as an Ancient Historical Period. *sigh* Where have the years gone??
I must confess, however, that age has nothing to do with women squealing for Orlando and Viggo. One of my best friends (she's almost my age...) is quite a fangirl about them. She saw ROTK before I did and lovingly described the scenes in which Orlando looked best. BTW, she hasn't read the books -- just the Cliff Notes Version! Aaaaaarrrgh! Personally, I find Viggo quite easy on the eyes and for some reason my computer has aquired a few Billy Boyd/Pippin slides for the screensaver, but the actors aren't the only reason I enjoy the movies. I've been a Tolkien lover for years and I thought the movies were (overall) a great realization of his vision.

ah. I call those people "annoying"
i know who you mean. i once was in a theater with some "teenyboppers" and all they did was say loudly how the Aragorn and Arwen scenes were "so umrealistic" because "they so did not feel each other up and make out enough." At that point i tuned them out.

That's... painful... The first time I saw The Two Towers they burst out laughing whenever something emotional happened on-screen... like Aragorn screaming over the hobbits, Theoden weeping for his son, the ENTIRE BATTLE BETWEEN SMEAGOL AND GOLLUM... |

I hate watching the movies with...
...no one but myself ! I MUST see it on the big screen one more time before it goes out of our local theater, so I'm going today, but I have no one to go with me. Any of you care to jet over here and go? It starts at 4:20.
This is the second time I'll have seen it alone, and I think the fifth time I've gone to the movies by myself, all of them being LotR movies! I just can't seem to find anyone who lives near me who wants to sit through a 3 1/2 hour movie, no matter how good! Anyway, I just hope it isn't crowded. The other two viewings I've had of RotK were so packed I had to sit way up front. |

I'll go with you! Just kidding. When i went there wasn't very many ppl there. It was hilarious, as we me and my sis were coming out the the theatres and this kid say "That was a stupid movie, i didn't get it." I almost burst out laughing. If he's that young and wants to watch it, no wonder he didn't get it!

Yeah, it was funny, there was a group of kids down in front that seemed really young to be seeing it. I thought I was going to have a whole half-row to myself when a middle-aged woman sat down at the end. I thought, "How strange, another older woman going by herself to see this, that's pretty unusual." Well, I came to realize that she was the mom of one of those kids, and she obviously wasn't a fan. She kept making these noises at the violent parts, and then made a loud huffing noise during the "endings." I was thinking, "Why didn't you just go see a different movie while they were in here? You know they wouldn't have gotten out before you!" But I had time to stay and watch the credits, which I hadn't the two previous times. That was nice.

I hate watching the movies with my cousin! Whenever a character talks he says the same thing they do while they speak. And when there's a battle he always makes fun of Arwen by making up dumb ways of her getting killed during the fight, so you can't enjoy the scene. Then after a while he'll say, "Isn't this kind of boring?" It's ANNOYING!!
Then there's my sister, who never pays attention, so she'll ask dumb questions and when I answer her she always says, "Well sor-ry!"

Hey Azalea, I actually prefer seeing movies by myself - especially in the case of the LOTR movies, since there's no one there to ask dumb questions.

Nehheh, I don't think a lot of people would want to go and see the movie with me. just had to use the new smiley
When we went to see TTT, my sister demanded that my dad would sit between us because she said I'd go in 'purist mode'. Besides that I do have the habbit of making little comments like "that's no way to treat a steward." and "oooh, shiny armour...." And I tend to do a lot of head-shaking at the parts that I think were messed up. For some odd reason my sister said she'd never go see the third one with me in theater. She did though, with dad sitting between us. But I like watching the DVD's on my own, now I only have to find and figure out how to use the freeze-button....
