I had this exact experience. I took my best friend to see it and I actually thought she knew it was a trilogy, since I kept commenting about how I was reading the 3rd book, but apparently I was wrong. At the end of the film, right in the silence between the end of the movie itself and the beginning of the credits, she yells out, "No s**t!" We almost peed ourselves laughing. Well, she has become a fan....

Hi JenniferTook - I see from your profile you are studying history.
Don't make the same mistake as FF - Middle Earth history does NOT count as valid answers during exams |

LOL, Gerbil! But I wouldn't be so sure if I were you. I am currently taking an real class at college called Tolkien and His Circle and required reading is Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit and Silmarillion. However, it wouldn't be a good idea to answer ME history to other classes! I am trying to get as close as possible by studying English History. I bet that is the closest I can get to ME.

Ain't it amazing, gerbil, to see how five minutes out of three hours twenty minutes can get so many people ticked off?

A moral of the whole (after the primary symbolism of the Ring, as the will to mere power, seeking to make itself objective by physical force and mechanism, and so also inevitably by lies) is the obvious one that without the high and noble the simple and vulgar is utterly mean; and without the simple and ordinary the noble and heroic is meaningless."

Oh, and one of my friends, who is now one of my favorite people for saying this, right after he saw the movie, he IM'ed me, and told me Arwen looked like me. NOT that *I* looked like Arwen, but arwen looked like me. lol. Anyways, as Liv Tyler is undeniably pretty, i thought it was a extremely high compliment, (hence him being one of my fav people now!) So that put her even higher on my "do i like her or not" meter, cuz according to him, and another one of my friends, i like look her! Anyways, i am RAMBLING...

Um errr Luthien?
A quick warning. Saying Liv Tyler looks like you is not the best way to stop people chatting you up on here. It's even possible it might, somehow, have the opposite effect. I bet you get a few private messages after that post I think you'd better sort this out by sending me a picture of you. Errr I mean posting it up on this board. Anyway, would love to stay and chat, I've got an urgent private message to write.... |

lots of people went out 4 popcorn and stuff and i was really shocked?i didn't do that once in any of my 5 viewings!
not many stupid comments apart from my m8 bridge making sadass jokes about legolas' name sounding remotely like legless, and my other m8 jess drooling over "that guy with the sword" i however left the cinema amazed and literally speechless. some relatives said that there were too many fighting scenes and some should have been cut out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!fools.the lot of em.

ack! there IS another one of me running around on the moot!
oh well, i hope the rest of you will be able to distingish the different spacing in the names...eh..? although, i don't thinkid mind being confused, she sounds smarter than me, well except for the Liv Tyler thing. well on my 8th veiwing this man ( who had obviously read the book) talked thru the movie to his wife (who hadn't read the books) it WAS funny to see him FLIP OUT at the flight to the ford scence though haha  these kids right in front of me kept leaning thier chairs back onto my poor knees, so finally i nonchalantly kicked the stupid bastard in his head while pretending to cross my legs  at the end, me and the loud guy were the only ones to get up everyone else just looked at us funny and then saw that the movie was over. oh it was really funny when one of the kids in front of me (not the one i kicked) turned around in surprise when i was reciting elvish along with the movie.. hehe i just gave him a wink and a smile and turned back to the movie. ahh funny emories. anyone hear anything new about the re-release with bonus footage?

I admit after my first veiwing I was one of those girls who thought that "That bow dude was so cute!"......But, okay you can't blame me, I wasn't a ent back then. I saw the trailers and thought it looked cool, so when my 19-yr old bro came home from college for Christmas, he took me. (since he had read the series and wanted to see the movie like any other LotR freak. Previously, I was a Star Wars/Redwall fan, but after I got home from the movies.......CELEBWEN was born!!!) lol I started crying when Boromir died (but not when Gandalf fell into Moria-my bro promised me that he wasn't dead so I took his word for it) and I was laughing so hard when Aragorn cut off Lurtz' head!!!
I went to an Imax theater so the sound was REALLY intense and I got a huge headache, and my bro started cracking up at a bunch of non-Tolkien people who were shouting "MR.ANDERSONN!!!!". I have yet to see a better movie! The second time I went was with my bro AGAIN- This time we were late to the cinema so we got 4th row seats and had to look UP alll the time. Nothing really happened other than a bunch of obnoxious people were throwing popcorn around and a girl next to me was complaining about the sound. I started chanting Galadriel's introduction to the movie (I amar prestar aen....The world is changed...) and got alot of wierd looks from people. After the movie finished a guy came up to me and asked me if I was Arwen (since I was conversing in Sindarin with my brother)-it turned out he was drunk but I said YES!!!! The third time I went was with my mom. I had to practically drag her along because "scary movies" aren't her thing. She screamed when Boromir died, and she kept asking me who was who and if Elrond was Legolas (heaven forbid Hugo being Orli!!).

I'm a high school kid and that thought didn't even occur to me at my first viewing! I hate immature people ::sigh::
The last time I saw it someone's phone rang three time. It made me angry, because it was at pretty important scenes (Weathertop, for one)

I was quite amused by these guys who, after the movie, were saying:
guy 1: They're making more movies, right? guy 2: I wonder if they'll actually throw the ring into that volcano-thing. guy 3: I bet they will. I mean, it would be stupid if they didn't. guy 4: yeah. guy 1: That Strider guy was pretty cool. Anyway. I was tempted to tell them what happens, but of course I didn't. They weren't near as bad as some... That was my 4th viewing, BTW. I just saw it for the 6th time today! (My goal is 9...)

The last time I went to see it the fire alarm went off in the middle of the movie and then, when we went back they had trouble with the sound so that we saw Saruman talking but heard N'SINC.
