Elladan and Elrohir has just left Hobbiton.
Billy Boyd is flat-out awesome in this entire movie, but this is perhaps his best scene, certainly the most difficult. As Elijah, Viggo, Hugo, and others know, it's tough to act one-on-one with Ian McKellen and hold your own, yet Billy seems to dominate -- which may be Sir Ian's doing as much as Billy's; the scene clearly belongs to Pippin.

Faramir's dream doesn't make much sense when given to Eowyn, but those are still some beautiful Tolkien words and I'm glad they made it into the EE.

Anybody else notice that the inside of Arwen's book is different in two successive shots? Go back and look again. It's true. Whoops.

Liv Tyler does her best Cate Blanchett impression, and it works pretty well, especially since these are Bilbo's words from the book.
Speaking of Liv, I don't know how she pulls off that voice considering what her natural one sounds like. Kudos to that performance.
