Hi I don't know if any of you have seen this before but I found a site and it had this list of 21 things you shouldn't do while watching lord of the rings. Some of them are pretty funny although I definately would not want to try any of those if a barrowdowner were sitting in the theatre espically the first one as the person would probably get their head repeatedly stomped on for interrupting the movie to mention Harry Potter in it lol.

The Top 21 Things NOT to Do While Watching The Lord of the Rings

1. Stand up halfway through the movie and yell loudly, “Wait…where the hell is Harry Potter?”

2. Block the entrance to the theater while screaming, “YOU…..SHALL….NOT…..
PASS!” - After the movie, say “Lucas could have done it better.”

3. Play a drinking game where you have to take a sip every time someone
says, “the Ring.”

4. Point and laugh whenever someone dies.

5. Ask everyone around you if they think Gandalf went to Hogwarts.

6. Finish off every one of Elrond’s lines with “Mis..ter Ander-sonnn.”

7. When Aragorn is crowned king, stand up and at the top of your lungs sing, “And I did it…. MY way…!”

8. Talk like Gollum all through the movie. At the end, bite off someone’s finger and fall down the stairs.

9. Dress up as old ladies and reenact “The Battle of Helms Deep,” Monty Python style.

10. When Denethor lights the fire, shout “Barbecue!”

11. In TTT when the Ents decide to march to war, stand up and shout, “RUN FOREST, RUN!”

12. Every time someone kills an Orc, yell: “That’s what I’m Tolkien about!” See how long it takes before you get kicked out of the theatre.

13. During a wide shot of a battle, inquire, “Where’s Waldo?”

14. Talk loudly about how you heard that there is a single frame of a nude Elf hidden somewhere in the movie.

15. Start an Orc sing-a-long.

16. Come to the premiere dressed as Frankenfurter and wander around looking terribly confused.

17. When they go in the paths of the dead, wait for a tense moment and shout, “I see dead people!”

18. Imitate what you think a conversation between Gollum, Dobby and Yoda would be like.

19. Release a jar of daddy-long-legs into the theater during the Shelob scene.

20. Wonder out loud if Aragorn is going to run for governor of California.

21. When Shelob comes on, exclaim, “Man! Charlotte’s really let herself go!”

(A nice idea. But it just got silly).

14. Talk loudly about how you heard that there is a single frame of a nude Elf hidden somewhere in the movie.

I like 2 and 5 but 13 is my favorite

I like 7. At one point, my sister and I had a mock-musical of the Lord of the Rings all planned out, with theme songs (usually classic rock) picked out for each character. For example, Sauron's was "Eye in the Sky" (might not be the right title):

Chorus:
I am the eye in the sky,
Looking at you...
I can read your mind.

I am the maker of rules,
Dealing with fools...
I can cheat you blind.

And I don't have to see any more
To know that:

I can read your mind.
I can read your mind.

Pippin and Merry were to sing a duet of "I like Beer":

Chorus:
I like Beer. I like Beer.
It makes me a jolly good fellow!
It helps me unwind...
And Sometimes it makes me feel mellow...
(makes him feel mellow)

Evil Galadriel sang "Fame":

FAME!
I'm gonna live forever,
I'm gonna learn how to fly!
FAME!
I feel it coming together...
People will see me and cry!

And so on, and so on...I can't remember them all. I think Sam's theme was "Lean on Me"...
