While I'm on the subject ...
I'm beginning to root against Return of the King. Why? Because I'm sick of reading the headlines about it!
King Rules the Box Office
King Reigns over Competition
King Returns to Throne of Movies
King Holds Sceptre High Over Other Royal People in Castle
King Viewed as Mere Figurehead by Subjects Yet Still Rules
We get it. The movie has the word "King" in it. Enough!

You forgot: King Sighted in Area Shopping Mall
Wait, that was Elvis. (It is Elvis’s birthday.)

A buddy and I have a private joke referring to the Burger KING commercial when FOTR came out. they were hawKING these "goblets" with a whopper meal, and the announcer kept proclaiming: "BEHOLD". so, naturally we snickered at Moria where Gandalf speaks the word.
PJ example: telephone RINGS, answer, "BEHOLD" (up for a movie?) or,
"Check out our Christmas tree" "Ahh...BEHOLD!"
are there any Burger KING tie-ins this time? (Where the One Ring is Flame Broiled!)

Peter Jackson must be kicking himself because, in retrospect, Return of the Burger King is a much better title for the movie.

SPOILER!
At the end of the movie the One Ring is flame-broiled.

You gotta take the bad with the good. That's how headlines get written. I like the text they put on the cover of Maxim and Stuff. Always some horrible single-entendre based on a pun of the actress/model's last name and/or career highlight. Terrible, terrible stuff. The worst of it is every writer doing it either thinks he's clever, or is doing it just because that's the way it's done. "No cold reception for COLD MOUNTAIN;" "Make a date to see CALENDAR GIRLS;" "THE LAST SAMURAI sucks because Tom Cruise is in it;" etc.

Wow, I missed that one. That's pretty bold. However, that probably didn't last three weeks like this damn Return of the King thing.
The whole thing is very tiring.
