Our audience was awsome, just perfect. We all waited in the cold for about an hour until they let us into the theater. I tell you I've never been in a mad rush for a movie before...I have a bruise to show for it. Luckily I was at the front of the line so it wasn't terminal. We waited for so long in the theater...then finally they started the adverts. Everyone cheered but there was a fluk in the screen and it went out. I was thinking "just my luck for a power failure" but it came back on moments later, more cheering. I held the hand of my friend next to me in antisipation as it started. Finally, I would get relief and see the ending movie.<P>All through the movie, I swear I made more noise than anyone else. People did laugh in all the right places and awwwed in others. The part that was really terrible was when Sam and Frodo were on the island surrounded by lava and all of a sudden the music swells and the screen goes black. I was about ready to sever someone's head if that was the ending...so was the rest of the audience too I think. There was a huge sigh of relief when the picture started up again. That happened once more, and when the movie was finally over...there was screaming, crying, cheering, whistling(me) and just general noise.<P>I'm so glad I went with all the other freaks on opening night then wait for a quiet theater.
