I made my biggest mistake ever by going to The Return of the King with my cousin--who happens to be a huge huge huge Harry Potter fan who has no clue about anything concerning The Lord of the Rings.
It was painful.
Having never watched the previous two movies, she had no idea what the hell is going on in the movie and for three-fourths of the movie I had to answer her questions and repeatedly tell her to shut up with her comments of "That's so dumb", "How is this better than Harry Potter?", "I don't get it", "Wait, then does that mean....", "Is he going to die", "Oh! I know, then they're gonna...", "I think that..." blah blah blah...
I had to repay myself by going to the movie a second and third time alone... and after that, I swore never to go to another movie with her....
