Laitoste has just left Hobbiton.

I'm really suprised that no one has mentioned Eowyn's confrontation with the Witch King. I HATED the lines used in the movie. I mean, they had excellent, moving lines fed to them and they had to screw them up. <P>"Begone, foul dwimmerlaik, lord of carrion! Leave the dead in peace!" versus "I will kill you if you touch him (or whatever-I've only seen it once )"? Am I too stupid to understand the first line? I thought I understood it just fine in the books, thank you very much, and I didn't need it dumbed down. (I adored the rest of the movie, it was awesome, and I don't usually pick out extrodinaraly stupid lines. This one just bothered me) <P>I would quote more of this section, but I don't know the movie lines and it would take up too much room. *muttering to self* Such wonderful lines! Gone! Slaughtered! What a disgrace!... <p>[ 9:36 PM January 01, 2004: Message edited by: Laitoste ]
