Re: Re:Well what if one of the hobbits came back As much as I hate to see the work cut up in any way, I have to agree that for the purposes of a major Hollywood picture, Tolkien's mystery in the form of old Bombadillo is the most expendable character. Of course, I also think that cutting the Council Scene up will make for a lot of lost information, but I imagine the average watcher won't leave the theater saying..."Gee, I wish that council scene had been longer." And, in the end, we are catering to the least common denominator. -*-The X Phial-*- You must believe in free will, you have no choice. Isaac Singer
