Saw it again, and there was a lot of smart arse laughing from some middle aged guys. They thought the troll with the drum was funny, and they howled at Aragorn holding aloft the sword. I thought it a great big phallic symbol thing, myself. "Look, Elrond, this sword is soooo big!" <P>What really irritated me was Sam saying "share the load" in the most condescending way imaginable! The echo of the phrase again and again, and the close-up of his mouth saying it, that was so annoying.
