It is my understanding that typical DID do not have their personalities communicate with each other much, but I am only in my third year. However, I don't disagree that he may have had a split...

Is gollum running with the ring or without the ring? Is he a trained runner? Is he human or what? Did Tolkien consult PJ to make sure PJ was ok with everything, being it's PJ's story and all?

Dwarfs apparently, according to Aragorns qoute, also have high endurance. Is that not the main quality a long distance runner needs?

And you ask us to suspend our disbelief about the movies, yet...

I have been a long distance speed walker for some time now, and ok its not running, but I like my backbone and knee joints. Your assumption that Gimli wasn't physically able to run is just...

I have often wondered about Osse. When I first read the Sil et. al. I thought, are they sure he is a good guy? I wonder if he represents the very controlling parent/god or the vengeance god. ...

I have read the debate and almost posted there, however, I did not. Where in the movies or books does it say that Gimli was working in the mines before he went on the chase? He had been traveling,...

*pop*

Where does it say in the movies or books that Gimli was an out of shape, non-trained coach potato? Tolkien said that dwarfs were hardy....And by the time the three had taken up the chase,...

As a therapist in training I couldn't agree with you more. Gollum has a much more complex personality problem. DID very rarely presents so evil, and the splits usually do not know about each...

For the record I like The Deer Hunter just fine. :D

And I will leave it at that since I do not agree that since Newline owns the rights to the story it makes it their story. I really don't want...

I think this is where the problem lies for me. It’s not the plunge of Denethor that is so ridiculous to believe, it’s the fact that Jackson felt changing it from the book is what is unbelievable (to...

And once again, it's a fantasy book and movie. So in impossible world of reality sure a human can't run that many miles in a day. But in a fantasy book...they can. Superman flys...
