Wow this is an old topic! Anyways... well, I was just wondering, why did you all think that elves didn't have pointy ears? Before the movies came out I always envisioned them with pointy ears.About FotR... I loved it, it was really true to the book and the parts that weren't (Arwen saving Frodo w/the river-horses, etc) didn't hurt it. And about Tom Bombadil... well, I really didn't get the point of him in the book. Why was he there? Was it bad that he wasn't in the movie?I've heard that Shelob isn't in TTT. I'll have to see if it turns out OK, but Shelob in TTT would be really sweet.
