<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> can I be the first Elvis fan to complain about the title of the third film in the trilogy [The Return of the King]? It gives false hopes to idiots like me. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>That's awesome! Nice quote. Reminds me of when Aragorn says in FOTR that Frodo needs "Elvis medicine".<P>I think it's great to see that political correctness didn't force a name change. At least the title is true to the book, if not everything else is. I'm very glad that TTT didn't come out in 2001, or it might have been a different story. I hope that people in general are aware that the title comes from a book which was written long ago and that no offence is/was caused. I think basing a movie on Pearl Harbour these days is much worse, anyway.
