I saw FOTR alone and it was wonderful. Saw 2T with a newfound line friend who was not an LOTR fan but was a geek and very kind about my squeeing - he enjoyed my reactions, actually. And Trilogy Tuesday I saw with my best friend Spike and her hubby, who are both big LOTR fans and love the films as much as I do. So I'm lucky in that my first times have all been great, with no pissiness to mar the experience. Other than that, my theater viewings have almost all been alone, and I've enjoyed them that way. It's all just too meaningful and precious to risk marring it. Maybe I'm too sensitive about these films? Oh well.

But yeah, it is a shame. *sigh*
