January 8, 2002 Movies Suffer Slings and Arrows As I was watching FOTR for the third time, It dawned on me. It was during a rather mundane scene in which Ian Holm was Dictating brunch choices with Ian McKellen. I looked away from the screen (only for a bit, mind you) and looked at the faces and heads of everyone in the theatre with me. Expecting to see overweight balding men with tape recorders, notepads, and laptops vigorously writing their internet reviews and twentysomething dorks, you know the type, read star trek books in college and look suspiciously like the guys you used to play D&D with back in high school, but instead I saw men, women (wives, sisters, mothers, and grandmothers), and even children all awestruck by the spectacle before them. I suddenly realized that this movie is something special
