I'm not sure if I'm satisfied by that answer or not. In the book Faramir didn't say or mean, "I'm not interested in that" he just knows what it could do to him and makes the right decision after...

Tolkien Questions for Quotes

I think TTT was far better because I don't base how good these movies are by how close they stick to the book. My favorite character was Eomer (who should have gotten more lines!) with...

Well whatever it was, it was gorgeous. Go Howard Shore! When I first heard the soundtrack I wasn't sure if I liked that many vocals, (there are quite a few) but they work perfectly in the movie. ...

You know what? I think Elrond needs a big group hug. uh...no. (can you imagine that?) I'm just trying to say that I feel sorry for him and he is in no way cruel. He could have ordered her, you...

I actually do agree that he was a bit of a wimp. Compared to the books, anyway. He was one of my favorite characters in the books because he was so noble and brave, etc. This made him look like he...

I loved Ian McKellen's performance. I didn't really notice a huge lack of him, and I don't know how some of you can be so pessimistic *coughBirdiecough* I loved it when he stood in front of Theoden...

I thought it was a job well done, and I actually did pity him when he put on a few of those great facial expressions. Oh, and thanks for explaining the tear. I, like Gandalf, couldn't understand it...

Along with the strong Gollum arm thing, he had hair on his arm! I know he might have had some, but wouldn't 500 years in the water make it disappear somewhat? I mean, look what happened to his nice...
