Default What NOT to do during Return of the King:

1. Stand up halfway through the movie and yell loudly, "Wait... where the hell 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."

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!"

12. Every time someone kills an Orc, yell: "That's what I'm Tolkien about!" See how long it takes before you get kicked out of the theatre.

13. During a wide shot of a battle, inquire, "Where's Waldo?"

14. Talk loudly about how you heard that there is a single frame of a nude Elf hidden somewhere in the movie.

15. Start an Orc sing-a-long.

16. Come to the premiere dressed as Frankenfurter and wander around looking terribly confused.

17. When they go in the paths of the dead, wait for tense moment and shout, "I see dead people!"

18. Imitate what you think a conversation between Gollum, Dobby and Yoda would be like.

19. Release a jar of daddy-long-legs into the theater during the Shelob scene.

20. Wonder out loud if Aragorn is going to run for governor of California.

21. When Shelob comes on, exclaim, "Man! Charlotte's really let herself go!"

Something tells me you're not a fan of Tolkein?

Actually I'm a huge fan, but then.... I mainly watch the movies so I can see Legolas (Orlando Bloom) ;) He never looked that good in the books!

Default Lucas would have done it better!

The truth is, Lucas would have done it better and Luke Skywalker would kick Aragorn's butt! He's not my king.

You do realize that you are some elements in this big picture where sellers try to offer something to buyers as a sort of "cheap entertainment", don't you? And that all this is happening on a forum that tries to advise people how to sell their products on the Internet? Your comments/posts in this matter are less pertinent than one would expect on such a web-oriented discussion place. Show me that I'm wrong :)

Ummm... I think this is the break room? Hence completely normal to not discuss web oriented information?

I like all of the movies referenced, but I definately had a good laugh over your list wenwilder! Thanks for a happy start to a day here in Oz.

I agree with much of the above. An excellent film, and a great list. I especially liked the "Anderson" reference.

As to any comparison to Star Wars or any other movie, having read LotR and tHt more times that I care to mention, who ever thinks there is can't be on the same planet. Now (and in the spirit of seriousness):

click your red booted heels three times and mutter "there's no place like home, there's no place like home, ....." TEE HEE HEE

Ryan, I believe you are jealous b/c you do not have the force. And Lucas hasn't lost it, he's trying to let others catch up...what's fun about dominating the sci-fi movie industry, it gets boring. You know the star wars series is the best set of movies ever (I wave my hand trying to use the jedi mind trick).

What I think the real problem you have is that you know that jar jar binks could have dropped that ring into the volcano in the first movie, there would have been no need for the second or third movie...hence the other reason Lucas did not do Lord of the Rings.

And don't get me started on the fake matrix world. Mr. Anderson would not have survived on Endor. Keanu Reeves auditioned for one of the ewok parts and Lucas turned him down...Lucas only wants top notch actors like Billy Dee Williams.

By the way, where did you say that nude elf frame was?
