Audience Reactions?

[Shy Hobbit]

I took my Mom and nephew out to see it again yesterday. Let me rephrase that. I took my nephew and dragged my Mom But it's all good. There were only about 20 people there altogether. An old couple was sitting a few rows behind us, and younger lady sat down in front of us, I'm thinking she was on a multiple viewing as well. She started sniffling when Theoden died, and jumped a few times during the Shelob scenes ( I love it when people jump, I find it funny, specially when I know what's coming! ) The old couple was intent on talking through most of the movie, but at least they picked the loud parts, so I couldn't hear most of what they were saying. When you see Shelob's stinger come down dribbling all over the place, the elderly woman screamed "OH, GEEZ!" I nearly giggled about that for the rest of the scene. At least until that awesome moment with Sean Astin,("Don't go where I can't follow") then I was crying. Both the elderly couple and the woman in front of us were crying by the end, which was pretty nice. But I must say, it could never compare with that first showing audience.<p>[ 8:12 PM January 09, 2004: Message edited by: Shy Hobbit ]
