Concerning Applause

[zb]

*Bows head in shame*<P>I have a confession to make. When I went with some friends to see TT on the 2nd day, I had a fit of bad-audience-member-ness. Not only did I take my knitting out and (very quietly, I might add) do a couple of rows while Aragorn was dreaming or Arwen, I was one of <I>those</I> dumb comment makers.<P>The friend I was sitting next to (who was not at all a ringie) had decided that Gollum was a cute little creature and had very quiety informed me of the fact. This is background to my moment of suckiness.<P>When Frodo says: I can't leave [gollum] (or words to that effect), I very quietly said to my friend: 'cos he's so cuuute. Well, I thought it was very quietly. Unfortunately, I'd misjudged the pitch of my voice and was heard by a few people around me, who thought it was quite funny, and giggled. <P>Heck, I thought it was quite funny until I saw RotK and got quite annoyed by various dumb whispered comments which were too loud. Now I feel bad.<P>There's a bucket of tomatoes in the corner, if you wanna ditch 'em at me...
