i have to say, i think that the film fitted my mental images far better than practically all of the pictures from this thread. that, at least, is one thing i reckon PJ got right. (but I am NOT going to start on about faramir, cos it's totally unrelated...)
rohan surprised me, it seemed far more rural and backward in a good way than i'd imagined, but after i saw it that version seemed more reasonable tham mine really!
on the other hand, the prancing pony was NOTHING like how it should be. NOTHING at all! it was supposed to be nice- but there you go. they didnt want to stop and start the tension. fine. cater for people with
2-second attention spans, i'll just watch pippin ("It comes in pints?")
