Daisy, I couldn't agree with you more! I despise with a bitter vitriol the people who laugh at blatantly unfunny parts of the movie. For example, a woman who laughed at Frodo being stung by Shelob. Why is that funny and not, in fact, incredibly sad and painful? There are others. Those who laugh every time Gollum calls Sam fat. Ok, it was perhaps mildly amusing in TTT (Stupid, fat hobbit!) but it's not funny when they're in Mordor, Gollum is clearly about to betray Frodo, Sam's heart is breaking to let his beloved Mr. Frodo see the light of this villain and some 13 year old cretin with a bag of extra crunchy sweets and a coke with ice in it is sitting behind me laughing? NO!!! Ahem. Sorry.<BR>I agree, though, with Eomer. I am a fellow Scot and I much prefer the silent cinema I'd be driven by the kind of experience Enedbelethiel has. But it is completely a case of each to his own.<BR>P.S.- the sound of someone crying is ok.
