    Talking What Not To Do During The Premiere Of Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King!

    Warning: Some spoilers for those who haven't read the books... I'll mark them with an asterix (*)...

    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. When the Ents 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!"

    Fan-bloody-tastic!

    Everyone in my office is looking at me weirdly (well more weirdly than usual) as I was in bits.
    We have all your working biros and we're not afraid to use them.

    Leave a box of used postit notes and a box of paperclips inside the filling cabinet and things won't get nasty.

    Although I'm not the biggest LotR fan on the face of the earth, I know the story quite well, and this made me laugh out loud three times. This one is definitely getting passed on down the line; my congrats to whomever put this together (and if it was you, Mr. Casey, you should be selling your talents to the highest bidder in late night talk show land ).

    "On the one hand we have Mister Frodo Baggins, a respected member of Hobbiton, owner of Bag end, and then we have Mister Underhill, on the road, traveling with questionable associates..."

    Love the list man

    Cool

    Every time I see Sean Astin/Samwise on-screen, I have this urge to chant "Rudy! Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!"

    I once blurted out, "Hey! This is not the Goonies!"

    My dated once blurted out, "Hey! That's not Russell Crowe!" (Yes, I tricked her into thinking she's seeing a Russell Crowe movie.)
    Anyhoo, just some random thoughts...

    Sweet! What a list!

    It would be great fun to talk over Aragorn's lines during RotK using your best Austin Powers voice.

    But... that would mean I'd actually have to go see it... Bleah!

    Return of the King... That's the new Zombie Elvis movie, right?

    You forgot one.

    Dress up as Elvis and everytime Aragorn appears shout "HE'S NOT THE KING! I AM!"

    I haven't laughed this hard since I don't know when...thanks!

    <wiping tears from eyes, catching breath>

    WHOO! God, I haven't laughed this much in months!

    Not only is my dog giving me the look of "there he goes, losing his mind again...", I've gone and woke up my family from laughing...

    This list is priceless!
