Did anyone see ROTK with a "newbie"?" - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

~Opening Lake Co. showing~

I was with a newbie [my wife] who asked questions, but had to disentangle my answeres from my evergrowing repulsion at all the changes [minor, major and horrendous]. She on the other hand was becoming more and more enthralled as the movie went on.

Around me, folks seemed pretty cool.

All of PJ's adaptations were so disturbing to my delicate sensibilites [well not too delicate, most violence amongst adults I find interesting at least professionally] that the ideas of seeing it again seemed akin to voluntarily repeating a painful dental surgery. SO I can only comment on 1 showing.
