*******WARNING*********

Might contain some spoilers for those who haven't read the books. Continue
at your own risk

1. Stand up halfway through the movie and yell
loudly, "Wait... where in the world is Harry Potter?"

2. Block the entrance to the theater while screaming:
"YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" - After the movie, say "Lucas
could have done it better."

3. Play a drinking game where you have to take a sip every time someone
says: "The Ring." (Heh, okay maybe this one isn't the best guys -
wcb)

4. Point and laugh whenever someone dies.

5. Ask everyone around you if they think Gandalf went
to Hogwarts.

6. Finish off every one of Elrond's lines with "Mr.
Anderson."

7. When Aragorn is crowned king, stand up and at
the top of your lungs sing, "And I did it.... MY way...!"

8. Talk like Gollum all through the movie. At the
end, bite off someone's finger and fall down the stairs.

9. Dress up as old ladies and reenact "The Battle of
Helms Deep" Monty Python style.

10. When Denethor lights the fire, shout "Barbecue!"

11. In TTT when the Ents decide to march to war, stand up and shout "RUN
FOREST, RUN!"

If these were original, they were very creative and funny.

6. Finish off every one of Elrond's lines with "Mr. Anderson."

That was good. [Smile]

12. Loudly proclaim while standing in line that you can not wait for Gollum to bite Frodos finger off and then fall into Mount Doom. It's always fun to spoil movies for people like that.

13. "Woot" loudly whenever Arwen or Eowyn appear on screen.

14. See the movie 12 times, memorize the lines with a friend, and then for the 13th time, say them out loud.

15. Critisize every little detail that is different from the books to the stranger sitting next to you.

15b. If that's too much trouble, make some up. "I swear, in the book, Aragorn had six fingers on his left hand. At the end, some spaniard killed him."

I love these, and I love Eruve.

Walk up to some random person, hand them a box, say "Take this, run!" Then hane a friend in a black cloak come and mug them while screaing incomprehensibly. We did that at TTT.

I know, ever since we watched FotR, we've been walking arouns saying "Welcome to Rivendell...Mr. Anderson." It gets quite annoying after a while. [Smile]

While waiting in line for The Two Towers, I bought a giant plastic spider at one the store we were in line in front of. We then got seats in the balcony and just waited for Shelob to appear so we could throw it on someone below.

...no Shelob. Drat. The spider has now been waiting a year for its big debut. [Big Grin]

#18) 1 giant oversized can of Raid for Shelob's big scene.

(You don't even have to use it. Just prop it up next to you and watchas the seats in front of you clear out.)

#19) In you best "Gremlin" voice, yell "Bright Light. Bright Light" whenever Galadriel's vial is used.

#20) Turn to person next to you and giggle, "Crack of doom my #$@. Hey mack, wanna buy a ring?".

21) After the movie is over, call everyone back to explain the parts of the book that weren't in the movie.

22) Be overly dramatic. Laugh too loud at the jokes, scream too loud at the intense moments, and give a blood curling scream of "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!" when the moment arises.

This is unrelated, but I was going to phone the pay phones at the theatre when the second matrix came out. So they'd ring all by themselves...

I couldn't find the pay phone number though, so i couldn't do it. [Frown]

#23) Bring a sign demanding "Best Supporting Actor" Oscar for the midget they put in the Gollum suit.

#24) As soon as the lights go out, start making the Gollum noise, followed occasionaly with "Quite my prescious."

#25) Stand outside the theater with a petition condemning this biased/racist view of a legitamate Orcish culture. Demand people sign.

#26) In TTT, during the Treant attack on Isengard, run up to the screen and thow green globs of stuff at it. Say its Sap. Say your with PETTS (People for the Ethical Treatment of Trees and Shrubbery.) Scream about this being the worst botanical misrepresentation since the Knights Who Said Ni sent Arthur in search of a Shrubbery. Then claim that 42 trees were killed in the making of this scene.

:waiting for Papa Moose to be relieved at the nature of this thread:

Go into the LOTR thread and complain loudly that you haven't read the books "THanks for spoiling it for me" and huff away.

There's a spoiler warning at the top of the thread. You'd think if people hadn't read the book and they saw the first warning they wouldn't read the rest of the thread since it's pretty much all spoilers.

27)Every time Frodo is in danger yell (in your best Sam impression) things like, "Mr. Frodo sir, are you all right?" and, "Gandalf said Don't you leave him Samwise Gamgee. And I won't."

Insist loudly that Frodo's name in the books was Bilbo and he was from someplace called "Middle Earth" not "the Shire!". Refuse to be corrected.

30) Launch into a long discussion of Elvish genealogy. Include an explanation of the different types of elves and their histories.

31) Form all plurals using -ses: ticketses, chairses, and usherses.

32) Bring Brillo pads to protest the lack of Scouring in this movie.

38. After the show as you leave your seat, wonder loudly why Frodo didn't just Fed Ex the ring and have done with it.

39. Say "I don't get it. Why would a ring be able to do that? It doesn't make any sense. Oh wait! It's a MAGIC ring. That's what it was! Wow! Cool!."

43. Sing the Tom Bombadil song and remark to your friends that you wish that segment had been left in.

Oh wait, you all probably WILL do that. Me too.

I think Phil Collins would've made the perfect Tom Bombadil
