I loved the scene in the movie much better than the way it was handled in the books, though I enjoyed both versions. I felt that it was too drawn out in the books. Though they certainly deserved all...

Unfortunately, all I heard (aside from the movie itself) when I went to see the movie were snide comments from the row of guys sitting behind me. I didn't even hear any 'oohs' or 'aahhhhs'. And I'm...

Mine occures during ROTK in the farewell scene between Merry and Pippin . . . that <I>really</I> makes me cringe. Also during the flashback with Deagol and Smeagol . . . that also makes me cringe,...

I liked <I>Fellowship of the Ring</I> best, for its dialogue, scenery and costumes. I think it stayed the most true to the book. The last two practically drowned in battle scenes, and while I realize...

You can speak Hakka? That's SO cool! My mother's Taiwanese- she speaks Hakka fluently. It always sounds so cool . . . I've been bugging her to teach it to me, but her response is always the same...

Why not try painting the walls of your room based off of scenery from the movie? That might look a little odd, but if you're an artist, it could work smilies/smile.gif

I don't really understand what you're asking . . . do you mean another trilogy as in another three movies? Or an EE version of all three movies?

I'm sorry if this has been mentioned before, but I thought it was hilarious when Gimli says, "Certainty of death, small chance of success, what are we waiting for?" it seems to sum up the...

If I remember correctly, the Mouth of Sauron is basically a guy that interprets Sauron's will. Forgive me for being sacrilegious, but I think you could interpret him as a kind of prophet. He didn't...

As an aside- yes . . . that was a really long sword. Right after the movie, my friends and I were only commenting on the swords, then we moved onto the other stuff. Keep in mind, by the way, my...

Well, first of all, Middle Earth is a place, not a time, so whether we are in the seventh age or not is completely irrelevant, at least in my humble opinion. So, this thread still works, and you...

I don't think we ever saw the Dead fight, but Tolkien had Legolas recount the fight later on. Also, I agree with the whole Sam bit . . . but I can kind of understand Sam leaving. I mean, I think he'd...
