If I wanted to listen to bunch of prepubescent junior high students clapping like a bunch of trained seals everytime they see something "cool" I would go to a pep rally.

This isnt a football game we are talking about here, its a theater experience...people bitch at folks who have their cell phones ring a few seconds or have their baby whimper a little bit but they are perfectly ok with some 16 year old turd standing up and yelling "Fuck yeah! Gandalf!" in the middle of a conversation. Bullshit, if they are "really into" the movie they should sit down, shut the fuck up and watch it.

It totally ruins the mood and really takes away from the film as a whole. I missed atleast 10 minutes worth of conversation which was rendered inaudible by the peanut gallery sitting in the first few rows. Whats next? I can see it now...people who "really enjoy the movie" are gonna be acting shit out as the watch it. To some this will be perfectly acceptable since they are just "expressing their enthusiasm". This isnt what theater is supposta be.

Oh, and Schar....I love it when people who dont even know how to spell the authors name try and tell me how they think he would feel about his modern day audience. Anyways TolkIEn was a Oxford professor I seriously doubt that he would appreciate young punks screaming out "FUCK YES!" in the middle of the telling of his story.


Oh, btw I went with 8 friends, sat in the middle of them all...of course there is this little thing called acoustics in theaters which makes people screaming in the front row clearly understood regardless of where you sit.
