Audience Reactions? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I went to TTT 9 times in total, I think, and the audience reactions were quite varied. <P>At 2am showings, they were understandably quiet, as everyone was noticably nearly-passed out from exhaustion.<P>At the Midnight showing, there was a lot of excitement, and people were cheering, laughing, yelling, all of the fun stuff.<P>At other showings, it was generally quiet. I get the feeling a lot of the people were just concentrating on following the complex story line (if you've only seen half, or none of FotR, I assume it's got to be rather difficult to follow).<P>Now, I also have a copy of the film from China, that was recorded inside the theatre. It's subtitled in Mandarin, but all of the character still speak English. It's really amusing to watch, because there's just nearly constant laughter for no real reason. Most of the movie isn't even funny, and yet the entire audience is laughing. It's like they're all in vibrating chairs or something.
