England, here... On the first night people cheered and clapped for Leggy and Eowyn. (Extremely unusual, I must say- never witnessed that sort of reaction though there was a gasp when Leggy did his horse thing in TT). And I must admit I gasped inadvertently when Leggy came in Frodo's room...and again when he wore his crown... <BR>Then three days later- nothing. Though my friend said when she went to see it, her sister saw it with all her friends and they all screamed in the credits. No prizes for guessing which name they screamed at. I'd have loved to have witnessed that...would have been so funny, and I'd probably have joined in... um, yeah...<BR>Can't say I minded the cheering. Wonderful atmosphere! And actually it seemed to be all grown men (Weren't they meant to be at work? It was 3:15pm!!!), as opposed to teenage girls- hence no screaming in the credits, and only quiet gasps, which got me funny looks from my friends. (Something else did too, but I don't think I'll say...)
