Who's excited about "The return of the King"

About a week or so till the final installation of this modern day classic hits the silver screen, and i'm already getting excited about it. Along with the Matrix, this trilogy is definately going to go down as our generations StarWars.

Hopefully, Jackson's vision will be given the credit it deserves when it comes Oscar time, but nonetheless, i know the last part will be a monster hit, and like most middle Earth fans i'm going to be standing in line to catch the first show.

LOTR: ROTK Survival Tips

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. At some point during the movie, stand up and shout: "I must go! Middle Earth needs me!" and run and try to jump into the screen. After bouncing off, return quietly to your seat.

4. Play a drinking game where you have to take a sip every time someone says: "The Ring."

5. Point and laugh whenever someone dies.

6. Ask the nearest ring-nut if he thinks Gandalf went to Hogwarts

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

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

9. At the end, complain that Gollum was offensive to Ethiopians

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

11. When Shelob appears, pinch the guy in front of you on the back of the neck.

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

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

14. Ask people around you who they think is the next "Terminator" sent from the Middle Earth of the future to assassinate Frodo Baggins

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

16. 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.

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

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

19. Start an Orc sing-a-long.

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

LOL

Hmmm...there is more than one employer giving the day off, you know

IMO the trilogy is over-rated. The book(s) are a different story.

Wow.
What a surprise

Books are ALWAYS a different (and better) story (nothing beats your own imagination!), but at least this trilogy does more justice to the books than most other movies based on books usually do. And Aragorn is pretty damn cute too, if I may say...

I for one am UBER excited and looking forward to next week too!!!!

Also keep in mind...if you were to ACTUALLY transcribe all the detail and character development etc etc from a book into film instead of adapting it, the movie would be like 30 hours long.

It's impossible to acheive the full depth of story anytime a book is adapted for film so to make that complaint is rather pointless.

I'll prolly go see it....saw the first two and enjoyed them...

BTW...has anyone see the Last Sammuri? I saw it last night...it was pretty good....nothing special...nothing beats Akira Kurosawa's sammurai movies...

just saw the second one and it was pretty damn good, can't wait for the third.

If you get the chance to see the Extended Two Towers go see it.

Lots of stuff (43mins) were cut out and fills in some gaps.

I can see why they edited it down (4 hrs??? damn...) but it's nice to see again in it's entirety

I'm definately going to see this opening night.

hell yes!
after I see the third I'm preatty sure that this one will be one of my favorite trilogies.

I'm very excited to see it...I have my Tuesday night midnight tickets already.

I've read the books 7 times since I was 12 and to me, it is the Bible of the fantasy genre and easily the best story ever told (yes, I include the Bible in that). The movies are a totally different entity and though there are a lot of things that REALLY piss me off, especially in the Two Towers (changes, deletions, additions, etc)...I love them all.

Return of the King was my favourite part of the story (it is just one big story) so I hope the movie turns out to be the same for me. As it stands though, Fellowship is better than TTT.

always with the negativity...you can always just not see the movie and go see Peter Pan instead.

lol...ok, how's this

Lord of the rings - the movie? Who cares? If it is anything like that retched piece of literary shit (aka the books)....who would want to see go see it?

Sound familiar?

That's right, I went there.

Can we all saw D-R-A-M-A ?

Stating an opinion is fine, but at least back it up with something more substantial then, BARF... ( it adds credibilty to what you say )
Tell me the acting sucked,the score was too epic and not enough techno for your liking, or the panoramic shots hurt your eyes and you couldn't focus on all the action, or those damn hobbits feet were too hairy...negativity with a pinch of creative critisism can at least be respected, otherwise it's just drivel isn't it ?

- Kytracid ( not looking to start anything )
