Intermission?

I didn't see LOTR:TFOTR in theaters, but someone on one of the 4DVD set mentioned an intermission on the first film.

Is there an intermission? It would seem that one would be warranted about half-way into the three-hour plus film. Or will people just miss some of the movie heading off to the jacks?

There is a point about halfway through where Frodo asks politely if anyone has to go pee that they do so now cause the next 5 minutes is just him staring blankly at the ring

No but it is a 2-disc set just for the film so unless you're Uncle Moneybags you have to get up and change the DVD

Ah, okay, I found out it was just the premiere of TFOTR that had an intermission. I guess those Hollywood folk have weak bladders!

Thanks,

That Liv Tyler kissy-face stuff was close enough to an intermission to most of the audience I saw it with.

Oh, but she's gorgeous. How could you take your eyes off of her?

The next time I see it, my intermission will be the fifteen minutes of NOTHING HAPPENING before the fight at Helm's Keep.
