Audience Reactions? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The audience was very into the movie when I saw it - it was a full house and people were rowdy. Unfortunatley, I was sitting next to two men who couldn't handle the fact that two male characters (i.e. Sam and Frodo or Merry and Pippin) could have a close friendship without being homosexual. They kept giggling, throwing looks at each other and making stupid comments like "here comes the kiss!" The worst part is these men were easily in their 30s - old enough that they <I>should</I> be able to handle themselves!! Why can some people not handle a close same sex friendship??<P>Other than those two childish adults, the audience was great!
