Silmaril

<B>Definitely</B> the unintentionally funniest part would be Aragorn shoving his kingly tongue down Arwen's throat! That was terrible! But in a good way, I suppose. A lot of people in my theatre laughed out loud, nobody louder than me! I think that a lot of the more serious types were probably a bit annoyed at us doing that. It just seemed so funny, not at all regal or understated (Arwen's kiss back to him was a better example of this). Perhaps a joke on the fact that he hasn't had any action in a long time? I thought they should have added the sound effects of Denethor eating that grape! <P>For some reason people laughed when they saw Sam and Frodo in Orcs' clothes? Anyone know why this is funny, I completely missed that joke?! I assume they were all people who hadn't read the book. If so there was a disturbingly large number of them!<P>Oh yeah, Merry's cheesy grin when he first puts on the helm of Rohan was priceless. Billy Boyd was right, he <B>definitely</B> had a better costume than Dom!<P>Doesn't count as laughing, but I had the hugest grin on my face when Sméagol got the Ring back. He got his precious back!! Awww...<P>A lot of people laughed when they saw Gimli walk into the room where Frodo had been sleeping, presumable because he had this really stupid almost cross-eyed expression on his face. <B>GRARRGH!!!</B> Gimli once again has his dignity and strength pulled out from under him.<P>Also I had to laugh at the reaction when Legolas came in. It was cool, so many teenage girls swooning and gasping and making dirty comments. You fangirls are terrible!
