STW, thank you very much for directing me to the names of the other threads in which this topic has been discussed. I look forward to reading them.

So I take full responsiblity for this departure from the topic of this thread, and thank you for allowing it to continue as long as it did.

Galendor, no need for you to apologize. We older members should know better. A Wormtongue might easily find me a picker of bones.

Anyway, I'm still interested; what would you change? I could accept all of PJ's LotR EE version in toto if but for one little change. When Gandalf is on the ground, staffless, helpless before the Witch-King, just three seconds before we hear the horns of the Rohirrim, put a slight grin on the old wizard's face.

That's all that I ask.

Those few seconds of the scrubbing green bubbles sweeping away the forces of evil from Minas Tirith. That is a cut I would welcome.

Do you mean that you would keep the Green Scrubbers, but not let them clean Minas Tirith, or do away with the GS altogether? The later would take more than just a few seconds of editing.

It is not the Army of the Dead that bothers me its the panaromic shots of all those green bubbles sweeping over the city. I have not timed that shot but I do think its only a few seconds - perhaps ten or fifteen at the most.

I also did not like the 'green scrubbing bubbles' (nice reference). They nulified the need for anyone, including Rohan, needing to be at the battle. Plus they remind me of the green faries from Moulin Rouge.

quempel .. glad to see we agree on the green scrubbing bubbles.... but... I simply adore the green fairies from MOULIN ROUGE - in fact love the entire film.

Oh I love the green faries in Moulin Rouge (as a fairy myself), but not so much as green scrubbing bubbles in RoTK.

I too love Moulin Rouge, it makes me cry every time.
