It's true! Frightening but true!

omg, i have only seen FotR twice, and the second time i had to get up to go to the bathroom right after galadriel went psycho(fortunately we were sitting in the back right by the door so i didn't disturb any1

) i went with 3 friends and the parents of one of them, 2 of them were talking (relatively quietly, thankfully!) throughout the entire movie!!! at least it was movie-related..anyway i made them shut up near the end: i told them "no talking while boromir is dying" and they didn't talk for the rest of the movie!

i was so happy that i had read the books before seeing the movie, otherwise i would have been sobbing my eyes out when gandalf fell down the abyss after the balrog... the first time i saw it i literally jumped 2 inches off my seat with a gasp when bilbo did his crazy thingy in rivendell..

oh and i can seriously understand Matrix buffs going "MR. ANDERSONNNNN" whenever Hugo appeared onscreen (I love the Matrix!!!) the first time i saw FotR, i had to seriously bury my face in my sweatshirt to muffle my laughter because i could just see elrond slipping on a pair of sunglasses and delivering the 'mr. anderson' monologue from the matrix..

I saw FotR 5 times before it went off at our theatre. The first time was the opening week, late show. The audience applauded, it was awesome- mostly older people 35-50 or so.
The second time was a matinee and EVERYONE was like "WHAT! what a dumb ending? what happens?" etc, etc. Age group- teen to 30 or so.

Out of all of the times:

* People laughed/chuckled when Aragorn cut the Uruk's arm-head off.

* When Gandalf met w/ Saruman, there was a gasp (not enough distinction for the laypeople between "Sauron" and "Saruman" I suppose).

* Battle in Moria- to the beginning of reaching Lothlorien seemed to be the most popular time to go to the bathroom/get more popcorn/etc.

ive seen it 9 times in theatres and then i downlaoded it on my computer. it took four days to get the one without asian subtitles, but it was worth it!

Or you stick with the original, "humans are a virus" ... it still makes sense considering his speech about the failing blood of Numenor and how men won't be a good help...

How much did that cost in your internet bill???

LuthienTinuviel · 03-05-2002, 05:06 PM

our internet is always on.. we wake up, turn it on, let stuff download or sit while we are away come home, sit on the internet, and then go to bed, most of the time with out turning it off.
so it didn't cost anything extra when ya look at it.
its just so gol dern S - L - O - W .
i need a dsl or wireless connexion.

Ërendil · 03-05-2002, 05:38 PM

LuthienTinuviel did u really see the movie 9 Times? God i though that i had seen it loads when i went for my 5 th time! U must either be more obsessed than i am or... i dunno what to say now! Then u down loaded it...wow. I'm really impressed.

BTW does anyone know where i can purchase the soundtrack from the movie? I really like the shire music- or even better where i can download it for free?

sun-star · 03-05-2002, 05:43 PM

You can buy the soundtrack in record shops (like me) or you can be clever and download it for free (like I would do if I had more sense than money). It was worth it though, I listen to it all the time.

LuthienTinuviel · 03-05-2002, 05:45 PM

i went to the cd store yesterday. it's out, in any store ya can find, but be careful, they actualy have the bakshi soundtrack from the cartoonish one out too. that's the one with the non photograph on the cover.
ya i did go see it nine times.
i never go to the movies either, i like my dvd player too much.
but i had a bunch of movie passes and free cupons, so i decided to use them all

im waiting for the re-release so i can make it an even ten.

it's a good thing i don't have any friends, otherwise they'd think i abandoned them.

TinuvielChild · 03-05-2002, 05:56 PM

you do so have friends: all your buds here on entmoot! where did you download it from???? mustknowmustknowmustknowmustknow.....

Elf Girl · 03-08-2002, 08:18 PM

I've only seen it once (

) and I was to dazed to be very attentive at the end, but I'm going again soon, and I'll note any surprise at the end.

TinuvielChild · 03-08-2002, 09:40 PM

ok, i just got back from my 3rd viewing of LotR..it was even more awesome than the previous 2!! but omg, some people are SO RUDE!!! one person kept shining a laser-pointer at the screen, during all the emotional scenes and some of the scary ones, completely ruining the mood!! and there were two people in the back talking (not TOO loudly, but loud enough for me to hear them

), and at the end one person stood up and said really loudly "That movie SUCKED!!". i wanted to get up and bash his head in!! ok, rant over.

i think i'm going to go see it again next wednesday probably....

pleasepleaseplease tell me what website you got it from!!!!!!

Comic Book Guy · 03-09-2002, 04:14 PM

LuthienTinuviel, don't post the link to the pirated copy of Fellowship of the Ring or give instructions on how to download it. It is illegal and the Entmoot adminstration cannot condone it.

Elf Girl · 03-10-2002, 10:33 AM

Okay, I saw it for the second time last night. There was some grumbling at the end, but nothing really rude. However, here's an odd conversation I heard.

Guy 1: I bet there'll be a sequel.
Guy 2: Yeah, it's coming out next year.
Guy 3: It's a trilogy.
Guy 1: Oh.

So nothing really horrible.

Elf Girl · 03-10-2002, 11:01 AM

Oh yeah, and there was one guy who's cell phone kept ringing.

Eruviel Greenleaf · 03-10-2002, 11:12 PM

Cell phones are evil. Yet I want one. Well, at least I would turn it off at the theatre or the movies!
