I did see it in the theater - multiple times. We did the big midnight release where you watch all 3 films. (Can I just say that needs throw the best parties. We dressed up. People were buying pizzas to share as we waited in line...) Also the cheer that erupted when Boromir showed up in ROTK after we'd all cried over his death a few hours before.

My husband was/is pretty upset about not having the Scouring of the Shire included, "That's the whole point!" ( He also stood up and hollered "What the f**k!?!" when the Elves showed up at Helms Deep.)

The 3rd Eagle carried the snacks.

hahaha, I love these vignettes about your husband and feel like we'd get along! I agree that the Scouring of the Shire is almost the whole point of the books...I get the arguments about why it doesn't work as well in a movie, but I still think it's just so important. (I was also upset/confused about the elves at Helm's Deep)

Gotta have in-flight snacks!
