Ooh ooh!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to see the rope scene with Frodo and Sam on the cliff! It cracks me up everyt ime I read it. But it's too long to be a deleted scene, I suppose. Plus, since Peter Jackson obviously hates Frodo, they're all going to be of Aragorn and Arwen (I'm not serious, I'm sure Peter Jackson doesn't hate Frodo, just doesn't think him important enough). Anything with Gollum is great... how about the entire second half of The book? I think he forgot that part .<P>I agree about Faramir. Yipes! I really think that the entire Osgiliath thing has to go and here's why - Shelob is coming up. Come on, Sam can't save Frodo's whiny butt like that twice. Someone has already told me they hate Frodo because Sam keeps having to rescue him and he doesn't do anything for himself, which is true in the movie. Frodo and Sam are practically screaming at each other the entire film. I love their scenes in the book, because they make me laugh. But I hardly laughed once in this movie.<P>I would have liked it to end with Shelob, but I heard ahead of time that it wasn't going to be in there so I got ready. But I noticed that part of it (Sam was holding Frodo's body) was in a trailer. On the extended LOTR PJ said that TTT was the furthest from the book, which means (hopefully) Reurnf of the King will be better. If the ending makes me cry I might forgive him. I'm not as mad at the Two towers as I was, I'm just voicing what would have made a better movie. I personally wouldn't mind if Helms Deep wasn't that long. I read the Two Towers last week and incomparison the movie version was the END OF THE WORLD, ARMAGEDDON, and a few other things. In the book it wasn't so large and serious. If they make it shorter they could fix some other damage. Peter Jackson put more Arwen in then Faramir, when Arwen is mentioned once in the book. This needs to change. In the Fellowship he had no trouble appealing to the rabid fans, but here he's just appealing to the googly Aragorn fans that live down the street and couldn't give a care about Frodo, Sam, Faramir, this new arrogant Theoden, Merry, Pippin, or the Ents. It's truly abominable. Woah. My message is running a bit long. Better be careful, or it will turn into a stupid George-Bush monologue like Sam's *Sam looks out of window while a nazgul bites of someone's head and talks about stories after almost getting his head cut off by Frodo, which would never happen*<P>ps: You know what would fix that Sam's neck-slicing scene? If Frodo smacked him with the flat part of his sword and said "That's MR. Frodo to you, young man!" Well, I'd laugh. But PJ has no sense of humor unless it involves Legolas and skateboards.<p>[ February 10, 2003: Message edited by: Calliope and Linus S. Underhill. ]
