LOL, very well put.

Oh, I thought the same thing. Among the things I wanted to say was, "You know, why don't you take this conversation outside, where it's quieter and you won't have to speak over all the noise that THIS EXQUISITE MOVIE is TRYING to make?"

That's one of the nicer things, anyway.

I'm to go again with my 17yo Matthew tonight. I am praying for a better audience, and preparing to SHOOSH! mightily.

You have been talking about bad crowds.... did you hear about mine? the guy that got decked? here

Tell me if time three is better than time two. I just got back from the second showing.

We had a marvelous, marvelous crowd. Theater was full, and no one had a cell phone, or an annoying cough, or anything. There were gasps and claps and murmured sighs at all the right places. That really adds to the enjoyment.

I enjoyed everything more this time. I tended to notice some of the nice, small details.

Denethor still bothers me. He just isn't right. Also the Eowyn plotline seemed to just be left hanging. It bothered me more this time. And I think I hate the lembas scene. It just feels wrong. I'm mad about the bit they rewrote to put that in....

But the moving scenes were more moving. Just... beautiful, Theoden's and Aragorn's pre-battle speeches. Makes me want to do something heroic.

What happened to all the horses, just before the start of the final battle? They were mounted, and then the horses vanished!
