Silly things to look for in RotK

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Denethor's movie death had me staring at the screen in stunned silence, already planning a vitriolic tonguelashing on the Downs.

1. When the Gondorian soldiers are catapulting (sp?) rocks at the orcs, I believe they are throwing pieces of the city.

I noticed that & couldn't help but think two things:

a. They loaded them awfully quickly
-& (more importantly)
b. Just how did they load them?

I mean, those things looked to me like they would've weighed quite a bit !
Maybe the EE will have something on one or both of my questions, who knows?

We must be related in some way, Eomer.

*Another one: In Mount Doom, when Frodo and Gollum are fighting over the Ring... "And I'm like, 'Give it!'! And he's like 'Make me!'! And I'm like, '...'Kay!'!" *You need to have heard "Albuquerque" by Weird Al to really get this...**

Sapphire_flame, you are starting to scare me with all the things that we have in common; "Weird Al" is one of my favorite artists. This is embarassing, but once again I have nothing to post regarding this topic. (I'm holding out for the EE before I buy the movie.) However, I'm curious as to how many people have seen the car in the background of "Fellowship." (The part where Sam and Frodo are leaving the Shire; look in the background and you'll see what should be smoke from a chimney except that it's not moving like normal smoke.)

I SAW THE CAR!! My friend saw it too. They doctored it out of the DVD though, at least the EE version.

Actully it never made it to any VHS/DVD release. Before they turned out 'our copies', they edited it out, or, as I've heard, made it look like it was smoke coming out of a chimney (did they just add the house in?).

This topic gives us a silly thing to look for in real life:

I love it when people insist that they've seen the car everyone's talking about, in fact, they've seen it 'hundreds of times' on their DVD at home. I love the look on their face when you tell them that they're seeing things because it never made it to their DVD .

The Denethor-dive had my head squeezed between my hands, followed by:

"Oh, good lord." followed by a murmer to my brother: "They're going to have field day with that one on the Downs tomorrow."

I did catch that car in the first movie, but I thought it was only a figment of my imagination when it wasn't in the home versions. I'm glad I'm not totally insane.

Also, I think that the Gondorians were indeed catapulting bits of the city at the Mordor army. I guess that when the orcs broke pieces off of the walls, they figured they wouldn't waste anything.

Ah, the irony of being crushed by a piece of the city you're trying to invade. Or maybe that's prophetic. Who knows?

If you look REALLY hard when Aragorn is giving his big speech, towards the centre of one of the shots (you have to watch REALLY hard the whole way through) there is a rider of Rohan wearing glasses...I noticed that in the cinema, and I think it made it to DVD release...keep your eyes peeled...
