You read the headline:

Marines Patrol Base After Firefight

and it registers:

Marines Patrol Base After Firebolt.

The most heartbreaking thing about faithful moviegoing
is that awe, beauty and excitement, three of the things
we go to the movies for, are the very things we're 
cheated of the most. The great wonder of "The Lord of the
Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is that it bathes us 
in all three, to the point where we remember -- in a 
vague, pleasurably hallucinatory sensation from another 
lifetime -- why we go to the movies in the first place.
