No need for the Palantir, given the characterisation of Denethor in the film.<P>I wondered too, while I was watching the film, whether Gandalf had actually pushed Denethor back onto the flaming pyre, and I didn't like the implication of this. But there was also a shot, just before, in which it seemed that Denethor was already on fire. I cannot be sure, but did anyone else notice that?
