Although I got my rearend burned for being optimistic about TTT, I have not yet learned my lesson and believe that at least the Mount Doom scene will remain true. The only reason I think this is because the dialogue about the Ring being treacherous was left in and since PJ sliced out everything else that I thought was pretty relevent, I have to believe that he left this particular tidbit in for a reason. (Certainly don't want to waste valuable screen time on the whole reason for the movie when there's a one-chapter battle scene you can stretch out over 3 hours.) Do I sound bitter? I don't sound bitter, do I?<P>Besides, he's already turned Frodo into a total wimp/victim - it will be very believable to the general non-reading public that he can't do the final toss.
