<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Honestly, will people ever stop nit-picking??? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Ah, no they won't. And the more you love a movie, the less there is to complain about so you turn to nit-picking once "It was great!" gets redundant. <P>I'd have to say that though I can live without the Scouring pictoralized (y'know, I hated that part the first time I read it beause I thought it was pointless and petty after the Ring Quest...I must have been sleep-deprived or something, 'cause now I love it to death, but anyway...) though I can live without the Scouring in the movie, I feel bad for Sam when she gives him that rope.<P>Just the way she got done giving Merry and Pippin those cool daggers, and he even says, "Have you run out of those nice shiny daggers?" I didn't understand why she didn't answer him. Sniff, I've imagined a little reply..."This will serve you as well as any dagger, Samwise Gamgee".<P>Eh, I know.
