What NOT to do at Return of the King:

You could actually utter this after several parts of the movie, like after every big action sequence. Be sure to keep track of the number of soft drinks thrown at you, so you can report it back to us [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img]

The only mistake you could make in a theatre with this movie is going to see it. It will suck -- big time. Go see something else. I hear Last Samurai is Oscar quality.

bah, both of those suck, try Elf instead I am certain it will sweep the Oscars.

Am I the only one who looks at the "King of Men" and think, "Jake, you never shoulda done that to Sidney back at Melrose Place?"

Or, did you ever watch the fight between Sarumon and Gandalf and think, "Wow, after all this time it turns out all those staves do is telekinesis." That was a sure-fired grooooaaaner. Not even one fizzle of magic anything. Harry Potter's crappy sword was better. Let us hope we don't have to suffer the geriatric stick-based burley brawl again.

Lmao! Love these! I reckon number 18 would annoy people the quickest!! Especially if you just do it quietly into the ear of the person in front [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Now that is funny, I'm serious I might have to try some of these.

Generally, the magic in Middle-Earth is pretty subtle, understated stuff. Talking to birds, lighting fires, extremely nourishing food and all that. The whole telekinesis thing is probably as overt and obvious as magic gets in Middle-Earth (and in the book, Gandalf comes quietly and doesn't fight), without devolving into sorcery. And even then, even Sauron - mightiest power of sorcery on Middle-Earth at the time - didn't throw fireballs.

[/QUOTE]The only real overt sorcery in the books was during Gandalf's confrontation with the Balrog on the Bridge. When he broke the bridge beneath the Balrog's feet. I do think the Peter did a good job of externalizing the battle of wills between Gandalf and Sarumon in their confrontations.

To parody an old vaudeville line for number 11: "He' come de Forest! He' come de Forest!
