Trilogy Tuesday: What Not to do

[Rosie-Posey Sandybanks]

Someone sent me this. I'm sorry if it has been posted. I looked and didn't see it.

Trilogy Tuesday: What Not to do

1. Stand up halfway through the movie and yell loudly, "Wait...where
the hell is Harry Potter?"

2. Block the entrance to the theater while screaming: "YOU SHALL NOT
PASS!" - After the movie, say "Lucas could have done it better."

3. Play a drinking game where you have to take a sip every time
someone says: "The Ring."

4. Point and laugh whenever someone dies.

5. Ask everyone around you if they think Gandalf went to Hogwarts.

6. Finish off every one of Elrond's lines with "Mr. Anderson."

7. When Aragorn is crowned king, stand up and at the top of your
lungs sing, "And I did it.... MY way...!"

8. Talk like Gollum all through the movie. At the end, bite off
someone's finger and fall down the stairs.

9. Dress up as old ladies and reenact "The Battle of Helms Deep"
Monty Python style.

10. When Denethor lights the fire, shout "Barbecue!"

11. In TTT when the Ents decide to march to war, stand up and
shout "RUN FOREST,RUN!"

12. Every time someone kills an Orc, yell: "That's what I'm Tolkien
about!" See how long it takes before you get kicked out of the
theatre.

13. During a wide shot of a battle, inquire, "Where's Waldo?"

14. Talk loudly about how you heard that there is a single frame of
a nude Elf hidden somewhere in the movie.

15. Start an Orc sing-a-long.

16. Come to the premiere dressed as Frankenfurter and wander around
looking terribly confused.

17. When they go in the paths of the dead, wait for tense moment and
shout, "I see dead people!"

18. Imitate what you think a conversation between Gollum, Dobby and
Yoda would be like.

19. Release a jar of daddy-long-legs into the theater during the
Shelob scene.

20. Wonder out loud if Aragorn is going to run for governor of
California.

21. When Shelob comes on, exclaim, "Man! Charlotte's really let
herself go!"

And I added one of my own...

22. When they try to take your ticket, yank it away and scream, "Not my precious! Aaaaaahhhhhhh!" Assume your most Gollum face when you do this.

Feel free to add more! It's fun!

[Theoric Windcaller]

haha! Think i'll do some of those on Tuesday 8). (The Gollum, Dobby, Yoda convo.)

[Estelyn Telcontar]

11. In TTT when the Ents decide to march to war, stand up and
shout "RUN FOREST,RUN!" ROFL!!!! smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

[vanwalossien]

Run, forest, run! Oh, I won't be able to stop thinking of that now... smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif Great! I have a weird feeling I'll shout that very loudly next time I watch TTT smilies/rolleyes.gif

[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

Hilarious! I have to remember those though we don't have such a thing as Trilogy Tuesday.

[mark12_30]

--During ROTK, stand up and shout, "I've run out of tissues! I've run out of tissues!"

--During Pelennior Fields: "Why all the fuss? Orcs are people too!"

--At the Grey Havens, loudly whine "Why Couldn't Gollum Come Too?"

--"And Saruman?"

--"And Wormtongue??"

--Sing along loudly and off-key with Annie Lennox.

[Salix]

I found a slightly different copy of this in some comments on a comic strip, and they had a few different ones.
Ask the nearest ring-nut if he thinks Gandalf went to Hogwarts

At some point during the movie, stand up and shout: "I must go! Middle Earth needs me!" and run and try to jump into the screen. After bouncing off, return quietly to your seat.

At the end, complain that Gollum was offensive to Ethiopians.

When Shelob appears, pinch the guy in front of you on the back of the neck.

Ask people around you who they think is the next "Terminator" sent from the Middle Earth of the future to assassinate Frodo Baggins.

Here's the link in case you want to see it.

[Feared Half-Elf]

13. During a wide shot of a battle, inquire, "Where's Waldo?"

Teehee! Where's Waldo! Teehee. *Reminds herself not to eat any blue smarties ever again* Teeheehee!

18. Imitate what you think a conversation would be like between Gollum, Dobby and Yoda

Yoda: Destroyed it must be!
Dobby: No Yoda sir, The Ring must not go back to Mordor.
Gollum: Do I care? Nice fisssshhhhh! My Precious will not go back to nasssty firey mountain of doomsessss!
Yoda: To Mordor it must go! To your death you must fall!

[Ainaserkewen]

20. Wonder out loud if Aragorn is going to run for governor of
California.
ouuuuuu! That I would do.

17. When they go in the paths of the dead, wait for tense moment and
shout, "I see dead people!"
I wonder if the kid who did that line will be at a premier?

[Lady Snickerdoodle]

6. Finish off every one of Elrond's lines with "Mr. Anderson."
*embarrassed cough* actually, I already did that for one of the moves... but mostly muttered just to whomever had the bad fortune to sit next to me...

more that I haven't tried yet:
-get lots of herbal essences sample bottles and go up and down the aisles yelling, "Don't end up like Aragorn, people! Buy your shampoo now!"
-when gandalf falls into the abyss, scream, "Mufasa!!! Noooo!" (like, from the Lion King? anyone get that...?)
-initiate a loud conversation with the stranger sitting next to you about how you think the two sexiest guys in the movie are definitely Gandalf and Gimli. and then when one of them appears on screen, scream "Take off the shirt!" (sorry if this is too weird.. have I ruined anyone's future movie-watching experience?)
-give in to the irresistable urge to jump up and dance in the aisles to the hobbit music at Bilbo's party. come on, you KNOW you want to.

[Enorëiel]

LOL, I've seen most of these things before only it was entitled "How to Survive LOTR". Although.... there are some different ones here then what I've seen - all the merrier!!!

17. When they go in the paths of the dead, wait for tense moment and
shout, "I see dead people!"
18. Imitate what you think a conversation would be like between Gollum, Dobby and Yoda
These are great ones!!! Though I must admit that this one:

19. Release a jar of daddy-long-legs into the theater during the
Shelob scene.

is equally as great - you know how freaked out I'd be? (until I noticed they weren't tiny Shelobs and just daddy-long-legs smilies/biggrin.gif )

20. Wonder out loud if Aragorn is going to run for governor of
California.




smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif governor of California... that's horibble!!!! I love it!

[Theron Bugtussle]

Immediately before the Battle of Pelennor Fields begins, stand up and shout, "Before we get started, I just want everyone to remember, there are no winners or losers here today." smilies/eek.gif

[Theoric Windcaller]

(This is for people who like Monty Python)

When the Fellowship reaches the Bridge of Khazad-Dum, say to the person next to you: "The Bridge of Death! What is you favorite color?"

[Rosie-Posey Sandybanks]

Great ones everybody! I think I'm going to do the "You Shall Not Pass" one. If no one gets in, I can get good seats!


How about this one.

If you see someone wearing a One Ring replica, go up to them and kneel, saying: "We swears to serve the master of the precious!"

Interesting way to meet new people!

Oh, I just thought of another. At the Council of Elrond, when Frodo says, "I will take the ring to Mordor" stand up and scream, "No, let me take it!" and run out of the theater.

ROFL!!! Rosie, that's great-- I oughta try that on our assistant pastor!

[Catherine]

-when gandalf falls into the abyss, scream, "Mufasa!!! Noooo!" (like, from the Lion King? anyone get that...?)

I got it and it is very funny!! smilies/biggrin.gif
20. Wonder out loud if Aragorn is going to run for governor of
California.
Now this one is hilarious!!! i am still laughing!

[Tar-Alcarin]

-initiate a loud conversation with the stranger sitting next to you about how you think the two sexiest guys in the movie are definitely Gandalf and Gimli. and then when one of them appears on screen, scream "Take off the shirt!" (sorry if this is too weird.. have I ruined anyone's future movie-watching experience?)

thanks a lot, now im scarred for life.

But anyways back to the topic,
When ever you see someone one sfcreen, ask very loudly to the person next to you " Is that Frodo?"
and when Frodo does appear on screen Yell "OMG ITS FRODO"

[Everdawn]

Oh my god, ive come to the realisaton that i have done MANY of those things, does that make me sad or just insane and i have seen too many movies?

[elfearz1]

BAHAHAHAHA smilies/biggrin.gif
"run forest run!"
that's great!

Wonder out loud if Aragorn is going to run for governor of
California.
hey I think he'd make a great gov! atleast he'd know how to pronounce our state's name

[Eöl]

haha YOU SHALL NOT PASS i love it smilies/biggrin.gif

that'd be pretty funny if someone would yell that smilies/smile.gif

1. Stand up halfway through the movie and yell loudly, "Wait...where
the hell is Harry Potter?" I know some people who would probably actually do that smilies/eek.gif . 8. Talk like Gollum all through the movie. At the end, bite off
someone's finger and fall down the stairs. Hee hee! Has anyone noticed that Gollum has extra teeth? He's only supposed to have 6, but in the movie, he's got at least 8. Hmm, Trilogy Tuesday was sold out a long time ago where I am, but I might just try some of these on the 17th!

[Finwe]

When you're in the theater, don't:


Dump your drink all over the people in the row in front of you right as Shelob bites Frodo and scream, "SPIDER SALIVA!!!!!!!! RUN!!!!!!!!!!" and cause a stampede.

It may be funny, but it can also get you arrested. smilies/biggrin.gif

[Lëowen]

~In TTT, when Gollum is crawling down the rock to Frodo and Sam, lean really close to the back of the person in front of you and hiss 'It's mine, my precioussss! They stoles it from us!'
~In FotR when Pippin and Merry are singing in the bar, sing along as loudly and as out of tune as you can.
~When Faramir takes the hobbits to Gondor, stand up and proclaim loudly 'That didn't happen in the book!!!' Then proceed to take out your copy of TTT and read aloud exactly what did happen, leaving nothing out.

Mwahahaa. smilies/evil.gif

[Arothir]

when Shelob appears don't yell: "AHHH!!! IT'S A SPIDER! GET IT OFF!"

[Rosie-Posey Sandybanks]

This is more and more fun as the posts go on! LOL. You guys are great! I thought of another one.

Nearing the end of the Battle for Helm's Deep, when the Rohirrim are riding down the hill, stand up and loudly sing:

"We are the Champions, my friend. And we'll keep on fighting till the end. We are the champions, we are the champions, no time for losers cause we are the champions, of Middle-Earth!"

By the way, I love the "that didn't happen in the book" one. So funny!

[Aredhel Ar-Feiniel]

DO NOT

-Start saying how "Gandalf's new robes really bring out the colour of his eyes" or "Yes, i agree, Green is nice on Legolas, but i think a pale blue would do him justice..."

Do Not (but do it for the fun) Loudly ask the person who is sitting next to you who is who and make then give a detailed account of things past and quotes from the book.

Don't ask the audience whether "that guy was in Mighty Ducks"

And DON'T ask "Which one is Peter Jackson?"

or... "Where is Boromir?"

[the guy who be short]

When Faramir crowns Aragorn, say:
"Hang on, they never killed the Saur-mon Guy!

[Finwe]

When Aragorn marries Arwen:

"I thought Eowyn was supposed to marry Aragorn. What happened?"

(Mind you, proclaim it rather loudly.)


You're guaranteed to annoy at least one Tolkien fan in the theater. Even the smallest towns have their token Tolkien, and I speak for Brownsville, TX.

[Lindril Arvilya]

14. Talk loudly about how you heard that there is a single frame of
a nude Elf hidden somewhere in the movie.

Yeah... but what if it's Elrond?

Lindril (now THAT'S scary) Arvilya

[Rosie-Posey Sandybanks]

Yeah... but what if it's Elrond?

Argh! Naked Elrond! Bad mental picture! Bad mental picture!! Thanks a lot. Now I'll have nightmares for a week!

How about:

Since we obviously all know the movies by heart, do not quote Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers word for word. If you must do this, see how long it takes for the person behind you to kick your seat!

[Naz]

Don't, when Pippin starts singing, jump up, scream, "OH PIPPIN!", scream, then fall over.

I dunno. I thought it was funny&gt; &lt;;

No! NO naked Elrond! Kowai~~~~!! *hides*

[Finwe]

In the name of Eru! NO NAKED ELROND!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Loudly claim that Figwit is going to show up during Return of the King, save Aragorn's life, and go out on a drinking binge with Legolas. See how many fan-girls keel over. smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

[Elennar Starfire]

I have quite a list here:

-make an elephant noise every time an Oliphaunt comes on the screen

-Come dressed as a pirate, and when the orc pours that brown stuff into Merry's mouth, yell "That's why the rum is gone!"

-Bring sticks, and whenever there's a battle, pretend to swordfight with a friend in front of the screen. (even better if one of you dies dramatically)

-After Boromir trys to take the ring, yell "you stupid fool, you did that last time!"

-When you first see Denethor, do a Meela imitation (especially do not do this if you are in the same theatre as Meela!)

-Throw squid at Boromir

-Every time you see Boromir, yell "Do the wave for Boromir the disco king!" Then do it.

-First time you see the 'wraiths on wings' say in a confused tone "I thought they killed the dragon!"

-At the council of Elrond, right after Gimli says "and my axe" say "and my fork!"

-When Gimli says "not the beard!" yell "drop him!"

-When the ents are marching to Isengard, start singing "The ents go marching one by one..."

-When you see a closeup of Aragorn's sword, yell "hey, that's not Anduril!"

[Rosie-Posey Sandybanks]

-At the council of Elrond, right after Gimli says "and my axe" say "and my fork!"

-When the ents are marching to Isengard, start singing "The ents go marching one by one..."

Okay, those were FUNNY!

How about:

Whenever they show a closeup of a Hobbit's feet, scream, "You know what they say about men with big feet! Oh Baby"

lol. it's a bit late and i'm a bit tired!

[Naz]

Don't, when anyone sings Elvish, sing along loudly & off key.

Ok, it was funny.. Was...&gt; &lt;;;

Augh! Now I'll wanna do the wave & risk my dad murdering me halfway through Fellowship! *does the Wave* DO THE WAVE^ ^

[Trippo The Hippo]

--When Aragorn is crowned king do not yell loudly "I thought Boromir was the disco king?" and then proceed to do the wave.

This one you can do or not do its your choice you will get alot of odd looks but some Bders like that.
--During the infamous scene when boromir rides into rivendell stand up and proclaim "This isn't Osgiliath!?!?"

I know this is titled things not to do but this is something you should do and this is a good spot to put it.
--If you are in the theater with Meela when Denethor strikes the match by all costs stop Meela from calling the fire department it will save you alot of the trouble in the long run

P.S. I apologize that second one took no thought but I am sure most of you would admit it would be pretty funny if a BDer did that.

[Meneltarmacil]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
No! Not Elrond! Not like that!
*Meneltarmacil has a heart attack and dies*

*Lindril Arvilya is suddenly surrounded by several extremely angry Agent Smith clones*

[Aredhel Ar-Feiniel]

*Lindril Arvilya is suddenly surrounded by several extremely angry Agent Smith clones* '

Youll never believe it...

But when i was at the Australian Premiere of Peter Pan at Movie World i went to the Matrix Exibit and they have a room in which there was around thirty clones of Agent Smith from the movie around you in the room. Needless to say, I ran out screaming.

(which is something kiddies,which also you should not do.. smilies/smile.gif)

[Niluial]

Here is my list:

- When Aragorn sniffs the air sniff the person next to you and say “Eww even Aragorn can smell you!”

- When something scary is showing go under someone’s seat and grab their feet.

- Tap the person next to you and show them your foot and say “see I have hobbit feet” then if the person ignores you say “You don’t believe me?” and start crying.

- If someone next to you has a ring on their finger grab their hand and say “You have our precioussss! Give us it!”

- Whenever you see the ring on the screen, scream allowed “preciousss! The preciousss!”

- When they speak elvish shout “what are they saying? Cant they just speak I am too slow for subtitles!”

- When RotK starts and its only two minutes into the film shout “The movie already sucks!”

- Throw your pop corn in the air and shout “spiders”

- Sometime in the film look at the person next to you and say “What’s going on?”

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

-Throw squid at Boromir

-Every time you see Boromir, yell "Do the wave for Boromir the disco king!" Then do it.


Do they allow squid in theaters? I guess you'd have to sneak it in in a purse or bag or something, much like most people do with bottles of water. Hey, maybe you could start the whole theater doing the wave! Someone should try. I've done it by myself before, but somehow it's not quite the same (I wonder why....).

At the council of Elrond, right after Gimli says "and my axe" say "and my fork!"


And my spoon!

When the ents are marching to Isengard, start singing "The ents go marching one by one..."


Priceless. I once went to a very boring boy scout thing, and the highlight of the evening was that there was an ent troop, and their song was just that. smilies/biggrin.gif

--During the infamous scene when boromir rides into rivendell stand up and proclaim "This isn't Osgiliath!?!?"


Already done it at home. I'm thinking more and more that I need to make a fan commentary. The last time I saw FOTR (last night), I thought of tons of funny comments I could make. All I'd need is a tape recorder!

Now for a my long list (sadly I will not be going to a trilogy showing):

-Get peanut M&Ms, or some other sizeble candy, and when when they shout "Boulders!" in Osgiliath, start throwing them at people (just to enhance the experience, you know).

-Wear a ring necklace, and when the Ring is destroyed, stand up and shout "What?!?! That wasn't in the book!!!! I've go the Ring right here! Everyone knows it was never destroyed!". Then proceed to disappear (under your seat works).

-Every time a Gondorian soldier kills an orc, yell "For Gondor!"

-During Boromir's Osgiliath scene, chime in with the crowd, yelling "For Gondor!" and cheering when they distribute the drinks.

-During the Pyre of Denethor, light a match and calmly set your hand on fire (or the seat of the person in front of you, whichever you prefer).

-Whenever Pippin appears, chant "pintpintpintpintpintpintpint" under your breath.

-Whenever Merry and Pippin appear together, shout "It's the Adventures of Merry and Pippin!"

-When Gollum appears for the first time, say "He looks like a bus!"

What Not to do

Wierd, I got a forward with all the things listed in the first post, only it said Things TO Do! Not that I'm going to of course smilies/tongue.gif.

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

the ents go marching one by one

smilies/biggrin.gif Perfect! Extremely humorous. I sent it to my brother (fellow Tolkienite) and he proceeded to continue the song. Here goes:

The Ents go marching one by one, seeking vengeance for what the wizard has done, the Ents go marching round and round the Isengard. The Ents go marching two by two hurrah hurrah; the Ents go marching two by two, hey Saruman, they're gonna kill you. The Ents go marching three by three, what are they capable of - just wait and see. The Ents go marching four by four, knocking on your front door. The Ents go marching five by five; how are you still alive? The Ents go marching six by six; Gandalf comes and takes your sticks. The Ents go marching seven by seven, for your sins you can't go to heaven. The Ents go marching eight by eight; blown into the void you must wait. The Ents go marching nine by nine; maybe you can come back some other time. The Ents go marching ten by ten; not till Morgoth rises again

Oh, and Lady Snickerdoodle? I'd be much obliged if you'd PM me the Legolas joke that the 'Downs higher ups wouldn't like...

Ditto! *Awaits it... smilies/cool.gif

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Are you sure you all want to actually know what Lady Snickerdoodle was thinking?

A few more:

-If you play an instrument that is portable, bring it to the theater. Proceed to tune it during the previews (if they have any). Then play along with the score. Actual sheet usic is not required, just try to imitate it as best as you can, and see how fast you get kicked out.

-Bring smelling salts to revive anyone who faints when Legolas comes on screen (or Shelob, for that matter).

-Tell everyone you see that everyone dies (or specialize it, if they have an obvious preference for a certain character). Whenever anyone does die, or "die", or *die*, depending on whether we're speaking of Theoden, Pippin, or Sam, say "See! I told you so!"

-Generally support the idea that all the deviations from the book are actually canon, and that everything true to the book didn't actually happen. See how many people you can confuse. smilies/evil.gif

[The Only Real Estel]

Hmmm, that's not a bad question...

[Sirithheruwen]

These are hilarious!!! smilies/biggrin.gif
I have a few of my own:
FOTR: When Lurtz says "find the Halflings!" stand up and yell "I got one" while grabbing the person in front/next to you, and carry him or her out of the theater.
TTT: When the uruk says "Manflesh" bite the person in front/next to you.
ROTK: When Gollum attacks Sam yell "Give him the chair!"

Sorry these are all I could think of...it's late, and I don't do well with sugar... smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Rindoien, elf of Lothlorien]

~When Faramir takes the hobbits to Gondor, stand up and proclaim loudly 'That didn't happen in the book!!!' Then proceed to take out your copy of TTT and read aloud exactly what did happen, leaving nothing out.

*dies*

Do not complain loudly to the rest of the theatre about how Legolas's eyes change colour constantly during the movie

Do not yell "Fly, my pretties, fly!" whenever you see the Wraiths on wings.

*takes a bashing for the worst ones ever*

[Finwe]

Keeping with what Tinny said:

- sneak in a bottle of nail polish remover, dip your hand in it, calmly set it ablaze, and wave it around in front of the person sitting behind you saying, "See, it doesn't hurt." Then proceed to blow it out. smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif (For all those pyromaniacs.)

- Start lobbing mini-packs of Kleenex at random people saying, "Here, you're going to need these."

- When Shelob appears, DON'T yell "Mom?!?!?! What are you doing on-screen?!?!?!" smilies/evil.gif smilies/evil.gif smilies/evil.gif

[Tar-Alcarin]

Im with Finwe. LOL smilies/biggrin.gif

When Sam, at osgiliath says to frodo "Im your Sam" Yell "I KNOW"
When i saw TTT one of my friends did that. Everyone just looked at her.

[Arothir]

when Sam says, "I'm your Sam," yell, "I do not like green eggs and ham," or, "I have no Sam!"

[Naz]

Oh, now I'll want to do the "?! This isn't Osgiliath!!" thing & shout "DO THE WAVE!!" , but my dad & all other moviegoers will prolly kill me..&gt; &lt;;; Unless another BDer will be at the Senator on Tuesday??

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

[Lady Snickerdoodle]

Are you sure you all want to actually know what Lady Snickerdoodle was thinking? Yes, Luthien, you're right, I don't think anyone should be exposed to what I had to go through. (actually I'm not the one who thought it up, my friend did, i place the blame squarely on her shoulders...)

how does that work? i've heard of this chemical that does it but i didnt know what it was... I wanna try that. (okay now my friend is worried for me)

[Failivrin]

It's the ammonia in the nail polish remover, Lady Snickerdoodle. kind of like when you flambe food, except with a hand and ammonia. i htink ammonia is an alcohol, so that would make sense...

repeat all of the little gems of information given out on the EE commentary. for example, when sam is drwoning at the end of FOTR say loudly 'THAT WASN'T REALLY UNDERWATER! HE STOOD ON A STAGE AND HAD THE WATER ADDED IN AFTERWARDS. I JUST THOUGHT YOU ALL SHOULD KNOW; NOBODY LIKES TO BE TRICKED BY HOLLYWOOD'.

[Morgul Queen]

Lady Snickerdoodle, I'd be much obliged if you'd send me the Legolas joke. If you don't think I can handle it, kindly talk to me alter-ego, Agent Darkling, who works for the PPC: Mary-Sue department. She's seen more than any of you could handle *shudder*

Yeah... but what if it's Elrond?

Nekkid Elrond..WHERE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! *drools*

Oh, and *don't* you *dare* get a Over Head Projector, and project the map of Middle-earth onto the wall to prove that, once and for all, there is *no* river in Westfold!

Don't stroke your movie ticket and call it "My Precious." (Already did that; got interesting reactions.)

I certainly did not yell 'Save the Ents!' and 'Do the wave for Boromir the Disco King!' and 'Happy Return of the King day!' at everyone who came into the theater...nope...not me. Nor did I repeatedly ask the theater employees if they would sell the RotK posters. (They didn't answer)

[ElenCala Isil]

Nor did I scream 'Uncle Dom wants YOU!!' and point menacingly at everyone who walked in... smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Miriel Undomiel]

And I didn't scream 'TOO BAD FRODO FELL INTO MOUNT DOOM!!! WHAT A HORRIBLE WAY TO DIE!!!!!' to all the people who haddn't seen the movie yet!! That would just be evil.... smilies/evil.gif smilies/evil.gif .....

[Nimrothiel]

Lol! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Ainaserkewen]

I think I ruined the movie for about half the audience...there was a guy who wanted a picture of the theater and we all posed. I yelled "Frodo Lives"(this was before the movie, mind) and everyone said, "Awwww!"

[Lady_Galadriel]

Ha ha ha! these are all so awesome and hilarious!

"If you see someone wearing a One Ring replica, go up to them and kneel, saying: "We swears to serve the master of the precious!"

Interesting way to meet new people!
At the Council of Elrond, when Frodo says, "I will take the ring to Mordor" stand up and scream, "No, let me take it!" and run out of the theater.


To do these would be so fun!!

But by far, my favorite was this one!


19. Release a jar of daddy-long-legs into the theater during the
Shelob scene.

This would be ludacris!!! I wanted to do something like that. But instead, i just threw popcorn at the people in front of us! Not as good as spiders, but they were still uneasy about the whole shelob thing!

PS ROTK is the best of the entire trilogy! it was the bomb!

[lord_of_rohan2003]

LOL!I like the idea of relesind a daddy long leg during Shelobs scene,but for an alternative get one of glow in the dark halloween spiders and tie on a string attached to a stick,so right as they cut to her,dangle it right in front of the people your sitting behind!

Note:If the football team(or members of a gun club)are sitting in front of you,you might want to hold off on doing that smilies/tongue.gif

[Naz]

I really should've yelled "THE DISCO KING!!" when he rode into Rivendell, cause all the Leggyboppers cheered for Leggy. So the rest of us cheered for Gimli. smilies/wink.gif smilies/biggrin.gif Trilogy was GREAT. I had sooo much fun..

And at the end end (as in RotK credits), when Karl Urban came up, I yelled, "WOOLYBEARS!!" (you know, those big fuzzy black & brown caterpillars? smilies/wink.gif) And we cheered for Uruk #1 & Alan Lee & John Howe... it was an amazing experience. All the right reactions at the right moments. No one talking, no one laughing when Smeagol died..

I'm babblin- -;

[ElenCala Isil]

I actually did say 'Meela Moment' when Denethor appeared...heh ^^;; *slinks away*

[Firefoot]

Uhhh, maybe this seems like a stupid question because everyone else seems to understand, but would anyone explain the "Boromir the Disco King" thing to me? I've seen it all over the place but WHAT IS IT?

Stupid question, maybe no one answers.

Anyway these are hilarious, people! I haven't seen the movie yet... but I am going to use some of these!!

[Lady Snickerdoodle]

Hey Firefoot the boromir disco king was (as much as i can gather it) someone's sig. that's all i think, unless there was a private joke i missed? *feeling left out*

[ElenCala Isil]

The Disco King came fom Oddwen and tuned into an epic Cazy Scene with Pics. Soon, the epidemic of the Disco King spead to the heat's of eveyone, and some decided to make it even moe than just a cazy scene. Some people put it in thei sigs, even. At least..that is the tale that I have been told.


I also told a few people that Fodo falls in Mt. Doom...*chuckles* that was geat!

Padon the lack of cetain lettes in this post... smilies/rolleyes.gif

I'm just a bit mad at PJ for not mentioning that Eòmer became king of Rohan and that Eòwyn and Faramir married. I thought that was important, but I guess thats just me smilies/rolleyes.gif ......

[Finwe]

Everyone in the theater started applauding when Aragorn and Arwen started making out, and when Sam and Rosie kissed. The funny thing was, both times, my boyfriend leaned over and kissed me, just as Aragorn (and later, Sam) leaned over to kiss their respective "girls." Talk about timing! smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

[the guy who be short]

When Aragorn and Arwen kissed, I didn't yell "Incest!" loudly... smilies/evil.gif smilies/cool.gif

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

I didn't think "And here's the hero we've all been waiting for!" when Gimli appeared. And I didn't have "This isn't Osgiliath!" moments, and I didn't cry at the end. Not all. Nor did I see the huge poster at the theater and wonder out loud if they would give it away, or laugh at the horrible medieval re-enactors who made a weird performance, or clap for Sam (everyone was clapping when Legolas and Gimli entered Frodo's room, so I had to put in my loud vote for Sam). I didn't clap at the end, either. All in all, it was rather uneventful. smilies/biggrin.gif

[Finwe]

I didn't start catcalling when Legolas walked into the bedroom, even though the rest of the theater was catcalling and applauding.

[Oddwen]

I didn't strangle the guy next to me who kept chanting "Rudy" during my angel Sam's moments. smilies/mad.gif
I didn't quite get it when my Dad said that Andy Serkis looks like Kid Rock, but I did tell him that Denethor looks like Ozzy Osbourne.

I'm thinking more and more that I need to make a fan commentary.

Ditto! Ditto! There should be a contest for a chance to do one of those for an official version. That would be cool.

[Elennar Starfire]

I did, when Frodo and Sam appear in their orc disguises, mutter "Little orcs, buraroom."

I also applauded along with the rest of the theatre when Eowyn said "I am no man."

[Eowyn_Wildfire]

do not
loudly proclaim GO MERRY after Pippin is done singing!

hee hee my friend did that (she can't tell them apart)

ask the person next to you "when does frodo kiss sam?" then though-out the movie and ask "is this it?"

my firend did that too....

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Okay, so to clarify my last post: I was being sarcastic. I did all of that. What less could be expected of me? But I did not (really didn't this time) yell "Do the Wave for Boromir the Disco King!" and get the whole theater doing the wave (which would have been cool).

[Tar-Alcarin]

Me and my girlfriend, at the ebd credits when Orlando Bloom name appears booed so loud. Then some girl hit me and said "DOnt make fun of the only reason this movie is good" So we left.

[Everdawn]

Im actually really surprised, my boyfriend wants to go to ROTK with me. His fave is Gimli. He hasnt read the books so im going to tell him they all die on the paths of the dead and then tell him that Faramir becomes King of Gondor.

[Orominuialwen]

Some stuff I did:

During all of RotK, I hummed along with the soundtrack. The person next to me must have thought that it was so obnoxious that they somehow moved to another seat halfway through the movie, even though the show was sold out, so I don't know how they found another.
I whispered to my brother when Merry & Pippin were drinking in Edoras "So that's why all the rum is gone!!"
Also, I started sobbing loudly when Theoden died. I could hear a whole bunch of other people loudly crying too.
I even started applauding when Legolas finished his mumakil stunt, along with the rest of the theater
My brother and I sat in our seats and sang along with "Into the West" during the credits. We also utterly refused to leave until every last credit had finished.
Start an Orc sing-a-long. I did do that, although in the parking lot after we got out of the theater. We sang this great parody of Y.M.C.A. called "U.R.U.K." (I'll put in a link to the words later) When Denethor lights the fire, shout "Barbecue!" I was so going to do this, but I forgot. Has anyone ever seen the tv show Robot Wars ? That's what it reminds me of. smilies/biggrin.gif

[Elennar Starfire]

Do not laugh at the rubber arrows Legolas somehow manages to kill orcs with.

[Rosie-Posey Sandybanks]

There was a very quiet chorus of "The Ents go marching one by one hurrah..." during the Last March of the Ents in TTT. It came from the place my group was sitting &lt;smiles innocently&gt;

[Elennar Starfire]

I had to restrain myself from shouting "Pippin abuse!" when Gandalf whacks Pip with his staff. I contented myself with muttering darkly.

[ElenCala Isil]

I'll have to restrain myself from shouting Merry Abuse! when Gandalf flings Merry aside...next time I see it...o.O*shakes head* so much abuse...

[Everdawn]

Well guys, tonight is the night, im attending a LOTR marathon during the night, i have written down a huge list from here and ill have to post what i did and peoples reactions. Wish me luck! smilies/wink.gif

[Naz]

GO EVERDAWN!

eheh.

When we were watching RotK, I figured since I didn't hear anything when Denethor popped up that Meela wasn't at the Senator.. - -;

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

We also utterly refused to leave until every last credit had finished.


I've done it both times! I've got to get enough time to smile and laugh through my tears! (Did that both times, too).

And my dad didn't strangle the guy next to us who explained everything to his wife... the entire time...

[Elennar Starfire]

What I did the latest time I saw RotK (I had so much fun!):

-"Alas, poor Yorick, I knew him well" when the heads fly into Minas Tirith. (Thanks, Tymezennith!)

-When Lego says "A diversion" I said "Thank you, Captain Obvious!" then muttered "stupid blonde elf."

-Laughed at Denny's Flying Leap of Doom.

-When the dead army is attacking I said "It's the attack of the green M&M's!" a bit louder than I intended, but many people laughed. (I feel so special!)

-When the Eagles are carrying Frodo and Sam, the camera zooms in on Frodo's face, and I said "We're falling up Frodo's nose!" (I was sitting in the second row, so Frodo's nose was really big)

-"Hobbit abuse!"

-"Little orcs, buraroom!"

(the last two I already mentioned, but I did them again.)

I might have annoyed the people sitting behind me, but when the credits started and I stood up to leave (I would have liked to stay, but it was 15 minutes til midnight) they were eating each other's faces, so I don't think they had been really watching the movie.

[Shire Flower]

When a group of orcs go by, yell "GO TEAM!!!" Replace "team" with the name of the local college or high school football team which your town happens to be EXTREMELY proud of. Cheer a lot. For added fun, bring pom poms.

I do this every time my mom and I watch FOTR or TTT.

[Elennar Starfire]

When the orcs all come out of the Black Gate, yell "Here come the cheerleaders!"

*mental pictures of orcs with pompoms and miniskirts* OK that's just scary! smilies/eek.gif
