The bit about the lava consuming Gollum before he actually hit it kinda got me too. I would think that he'd have caught fire before he got down there. Along the same lines, Frodo and Sam stranded on that rock...hmm...it would have gotten *mighty* hot on that rock with all that lava around. Oh, and also, I don' think the volcano was correct as far as volcanos go - half of it looked like St. Helens (the explosions, tossing off of big rocks) and half of it looked like the one in Hawaii (the runny lava bit). Those are two very different kinds of volcano! Any vulcanologists present to comment? <P>This is nit-picking, however. The emotional content was enough to forgive the geological stretch. I loved the scene, even if it wasn't exactly "by the book."
