<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> But wouldn't Sauron still be a giant eyeball without the ring? I thought Sauron needed it to take physical form, at least that is what I got from the book. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>I completely disagree with this. Gollum talks about Sauron having nine fingers. Can an eyeball have nine fingers? Shagrat talks about the possibility of Sauron coming to Cirith Ungol himself. Can an eyeball do that? I think there is enough evidence in the book to give Sauron a physical appearance in the film if Jackson wanted to do that. For me, having extra scenes with Sauron in Barad-dur is no different then the extra scenes that were given to Saruman in Orthanc. <P><A HREF="http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=001972" TARGET=_blank>Here</A> is a relevent thread from the book forum.<P>Fighting Aragorn ... That's a completely different question.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Do you remember if it had a credibility rating or not? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>It was a interview with Jackson from a fan magazine that was quoted at OneRing. I don't think credibility is an issue, unless it's mine.<P>H.C.
