lol.....Very cute. A moral lesson about cleaning up our language and a laugh as well. *hands the skwerl a glass of wine while she posts*<P>Yeah, I saw the swords as well. But I have to hand it to them though. You try putting together a multi-layer fight scene that not only includes shots of the actors, but the stunt doubles, the scale doubles, people dressed as orcs and goblins, CGI Orcs/Goblins, and top it off a CGI cave troll. Plus, it was all being organized on not just one computer, but many across the several special effects crews at WETA. They didn't exactly have a checklist saying "All right you Steven, make sure you can hear Sam's pans, or you Jake make sure the elven swords are glowing blue." Some little details can be overlooked. It matters that the scene was put together flawlessly. And it's very nice, I enjoyed watching Sam resorting to using his pans, and Gimli jumping off the grave to get him some orc hide. Though I do say Frodo was a little too weak in that scene, but that's my personal opinion. <P>Btw, where is everyone hearing about the budget? I never heard a word about it and there was nothing in the extras on the dvd as far as I can remember...
