It makes very little sense to me to exclude TTT and ROTK from the list. I realize that FOTR is often the most popular of the three on this board because it supposedly has less deviation from the... |

Just to clarify something mentioned towards the top of this thread, Galadriel and Celeborn both do indeed appear at Aragorn and Arwen's wedding in the book. You'll recall that Gimli and Eomer nearly... |

Yeah, I can only assume you're joking, despite saying you're not, because PJ has lost a ton of weight and looks better than he ever looked when he was making LOTR. The latest from Raimi is that he... |

It is of course a mistake by Tolkien, probably a mistake in his writing Gandalf's words at the Council. But I suppose, technically, if you're going by canon, you would have to say that the Nazgul... |

Yeah, I've always assumed the Valar weren't there, also. Why would Eonwe lead the host and take charge of the disposition of the Silmarils if Manwe, Orome or Tulkas had come along? |
