Trouble insues at the premiere of TTT
 
Ok, unless you are being forced to go to the Barrow-Downs, you are very much anticipating the premiere of TTT than you were on the premiere of FOTR. So, to prepare you (ok, more like entertain you) for the premiere, list A)things you should do at the premiere of TTT or B)things you should not do at the Harry Potter premiere to avoid getting thrown out by HP fans.

Have fun!

Elenna 11-06-2002 07:44 PM

Should not do at HP: Tell them that they're REALLY Tolkien fans, and they're too idiotic to realize it.

Mintyztwin 11-07-2002 12:54 AM

Do not yell this at the top of your lungs at the HP premiere: "Bring on the Orcs!"

"Sauron could whip [whatever the bad guys name is, I don't know! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] ] any day!"

"Am I supposed to be impressed?" during the dueling scene.

"More blood! More arrows! More elves!"

Start whispering the rings inscription, and gradually get louder, (Like at the council meeting!) [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

"Frodo! What happened to you!" When Harry comes on the screen. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

This is fun! But I have this nagging feeling these are all lame. I'm at that tired point where everything is funny!

Aiya 11-07-2002 02:09 AM

Apparently the TTT trailor is shown on with Hp... The possibilities are endless. I was thinking of getting up and leaving after the trailor, but... I'm too cheap to pay to go see HP, and not see it.

TealDude3 11-07-2002 01:35 PM

Not to do at HP: When that fat wizard dude (like I give a crap what his name is say,
"My God, Gandalf, what have you done with yourself?"

NazgulNumberTen 11-07-2002 02:11 PM

most harry potter fans are 12 year old dorks or 40 year old men.

Orodoliel 11-07-2002 02:53 PM

Don't worry Mintyztwin they're not lame, they're really funny!

Someone should definitely go to the HP premier in Hobbit feet. And send me pictures of the looks on the faces of the people who actually like HP!

Mintyztwin 11-07-2002 04:32 PM

Thanks! And that's a good idea! I'd do it if I had hobbit feet and time to waste on HP! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Oh, I'm -so- tempted! I think I will. I really do. Depends who I'm with when I see it.

NazgulNumber10, I resent that. I am 40 years old and have never read or seen a word of Harry Potter.

As for things you should NOT do at HP premiere? Don't wave a sword in the door of the threatre and scream "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"

NazgulNumberTen 11-08-2002 05:10 PM

i didn't say ALL of them are, just a good porton of hp fans.

Azaelia of Willowbottom 11-08-2002 07:47 PM

I like Harry Potter, and I am neither a 12 year-old or a 40-year old. I'm not even a man, I'm a girl. I think that was rather steriotypical of you. [img]smilies/redface.gif[/img]

NazgulNumberTen 11-08-2002 07:49 PM

first of all, i said most.
and secound, im not here to be nice or politically correct or all that touchy-feely crap. my opions are conterversial, so what?

Elven Mistress 11-08-2002 08:06 PM

Okay kiddies, let's play nice together?

That was HILARIOUS, Thenamir!

Well, my friend and i were going to go see HP, and when the TTT trailor came on start screaming and clapping......and hope we don't get kicked outta the theatre...

Arwen_Evenstar 11-08-2002 08:08 PM

No offence ppl, but i agree with Azelia(sp?) that is very steriotypical of you, I like Harry Potter, but I LOVE LotR, so there. You dont have to just like one of them!
(but there seriously is no competition, LotR all the way! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] )

dragongirlG 11-08-2002 08:56 PM

I like HP, thank you very much.

Not this again...

Beruthiel 11-08-2002 09:10 PM

I think i will shout that thing about frodo what happened to you
that would be hilarious....
[img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
and you know jk rowling(the one who wrote harry potter) where did she get the idea to put her name in that why like J.K. Rowling, J.R.R. Tolkien?? sad real sad

DarkRose 11-08-2002 09:59 PM

Apologies for barging into this comical area, but I felt that something needed to be said.

People, I seriously doubt that the creator of this topic intended it to end up as a brawl between HP and LOTR. Reading a couple of these posts, and especially that last post made by Beruthiel, I am getting the feeling that this is not going to run so smoothly.

I mean, honestly! This was meant for light humor. Naz10 is right in saying that he is allowed to have controversial opinions, and that he doesn't have to make sure that he doesn't offend everyone. When you think about it, it is very difficult to please everyone. So just let it go. I repeat- let his comment go. I, myself, am a 14 year old girl who likes HP and LOTR, but I didn't go after Naz10. If you didn't like it, simply move on.

Also, this was not supposed to be a thread about which is better (HP or LOTR) or to make fun of the HP books. I find it silly for you all to start posting flaming comments about HP when that was uncalled for. It will only stir trouble, and no one wants that. There have been many HP VS LOTR thread before, and next to no good has come out of them. We. Do. Not. Want. Trouble.

So, for all of our sakes, lighten up and move along.

hobbitlass 11-09-2002 07:20 AM

JUST to give information...

J.K. Rowlins used her initials not to copy J.R.R. Tolkien but because her publisher (I think thats it) suggested it because boys wouldn't believe that a woman would know so much about being a boy.
Mind you, I'm paraphrasing from an interview I had read.

Now back to the fun.....

TealDude3 11-09-2002 09:24 AM

Thank you for clearing that up DarkRose. It seems every time someone mentions HP on this site someone has to say something about it.

And to the people that started it:
"Do not meddle in the affairs of HP fans, for they are subtle and quick to anger." [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Diamond18 11-09-2002 10:30 AM

Well, I must say this thread is a bit confusing. The title is about the TTT premiere, but all the posts are about the HP premiere.

Anyway, I've got something that you should NOT do at the TTT premiere. If it ends like the book, with Frodo being stung by Shelob, you should not stand up and yell, "Don't worry folks! He isn't really dead!"

Okay, lame because Shelob probably won't be in TTT, but imagining myself doing that cracked me up, 'cause when Gandalf died in FotR, and the people around me were gasping and saying "Oh no" I almost felt like assuring them that he was coming back. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Azaelia of Willowbottom 11-09-2002 01:00 PM

(I'm really sorry, Naz10 and others, I didn't mean to start anything. I know we're all entitled to our opinions, and once in a while we're going to take offence with each other. *Shrug* it happens. Now let's get back to the fun!)

Should not do at TTT Premiere: Stand up and randomly shout insults at the Orcs, or Saruman, Or the Lord of the Nazgul, or Wormtongue... basically any "bad guy" on screen at the time.(I've been known to do this at home, but not in the theater, and never to LOTR)

I can't see myself doing that, but still...

NazgulNumberTen 11-09-2002 02:38 PM

Don't be sorry.

Rose Cotton 11-10-2002 06:48 PM

*cries tears of joy*
All of you that said you like Harry Potter have just made my day. I thought I was the only one who liked him on these boards. I like Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings EQUALLY!

Quote:

LOL! That's so true.

#1 thing not to do at the Harry Potter premir is insult Harry Potter in any way, shape, or form cause I'll rally my Harry Potter fans together and tear you apart.

Somthing not to at TTT premir: Go dressed in wizard robes. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

I'll stop now.

NazgulNumberTen 11-10-2002 06:56 PM

i'm gonna stand outside the theater on a soapbox and insult hp until they take me out kicking and screaming.

Rose Cotton 11-10-2002 07:34 PM

I hope you don't mind if I'm part of the angry Harry Potter fan mob that hangs you when you do that Naz. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

NazgulNumberTen 11-10-2002 09:18 PM

I'll be sure to pack a beretta.

NazgulNumberTen 11-10-2002 09:21 PM

NO! I'll kidnap that kid who plays harry potter! i bet the fans will pay alot to get him back, expecually when i start sending his fingers to them in the mail...

Mintyztwin 11-11-2002 11:45 AM

You can do that?!?!? (Send fingers through the mail.) Kewl! Okay, I will go back to the topic, 'cause I was having fun. (What the world needs now if Fun! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )

Do NOT do at HP premier: When HP comes on the screen yell "Dark magic will not avail you! Go back to the shadows from whence you came! YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!" While standing and waving a sword and staff around like Gandalf. (Oh - you do have swords and staffs, right? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )

When the head wizard guy, (whatever his name is) comes on, scream Mithrander is dead! And then sing the lament for Gandlaf REAL LOUD!!!!!

Things to do at TTT: Stand up and fight the Orcs in pantomime with Aragorn. Audinces love this! Seriously!

Swoon when the hero you personally like come on screen.

"Arwen? What in the name of Eru are YOU doing here?!?!?!?" When she comes on the screen.

Stand at the door and make sure all who enter have read the books. If they haven't make them sit outside with a copy of LotR and don't let them in until they have AT LEAST read through TTT!!!

Okay, my burst of creativness was all used up! See y'all later! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Morgul Queen 11-11-2002 09:12 PM

dont do at HP premiere:
attempt to kill the wannabe orc(dobby)
when harry and ron go into the forbidden forest and see SPIDERS dont:
Shout out " go back to the shadows from whence you came, spawn of Ungoliant!!!!" Start screaming anything in particular about mirkwood, shelob or ungoliant

attercop attercop!!

Nevfeniel 11-11-2002 09:16 PM

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. . . HA!!
Need I say more?
Okay.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Morgul Queen 11-11-2002 09:19 PM

Sorry Rose Cotton, it'll be a double hanging, I'm with Naz10 on this one!!!! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

TealDude3 11-12-2002 06:05 PM

Not to do at HP premiere: When the HP owl (or whatever the heck his name is), scream really loud: "Ceribian from Dunland! HIDE!!"
And then duck under the seats.

Mintyztwin 11-12-2002 08:38 PM

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! That last was great Tealdude3! Muy comico!!! Hee hee hee!

Lindril Arvilya 11-12-2002 08:53 PM

Personally, though I do like Harry Potter, I will in fact use the "Crebain from Dunland!" one. Probably quietly to my friends, but thank you nonetheless.
