Caption Contest: you shall not interrupt Gandalf’s 3D viewing session

Nobody likes being bothered while they’re really getting into a movie, and as we all know you can’t really get into a movie unless it’s in 3D. Right? Sir Ian McKellen took things a step further, not only watching a screening of The Hobbit in the third dimension but doing it in character, and looking ever so slightly perturbed at having his viewing session interrupted by a rogue photographer. The guy in the back doesn’t seem to mind, though. Thomas : “Galadriel, is that new shampoo?” Tim : “These glasses may be passive but I you may find me getting very aggressive if you use that flash one more time.” Brian : “I’ll tell you what, you’re making me Gandalf the Red right now.” Joe : “Would ‘one standard to rule them all’ be asking too much?” Michael : “ZZ Top called, they want their roadie back” Terrence : “Even Gandalf the Grey is powerless against the magic of these glasses which make any man look like a 90-year-old blind woman.” Richard Lai : “Ha, no 3D for that flaming cyclops in Mordor.” Darren : “One ring. Two Towers. 3Ds.” Christopher: “Sir Ian McKellen: the latest victim of Rick Rubin’s Ambush Makeover .” Sean Buckley: “Confound it all, Samwise Gamgee. What have I told you about interrupting me during my stories?” Josh Fruhlinger: “You know how they say 3D is bad for children? This dude is 14.” Caption Contest: you shall not interrupt Gandalf’s 3D viewing session originally appeared on Engadget on Sat, 14 May 2011 10:33:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds .
