doug*platypus has just left Hobbiton.
1420!

My edition of LOTR is the magnificent centenary version, illustrated by Alan Lee. While he's by no means always correct, Lee's pictures have formed a lot of my image of Middle-Earth, especially Orcs. The Dead Marshes in the movie are straight out of Lee's pictures, with PJ's creepy effects added. The shot with Frodo falling headlong into the water was pure evil, I loved it! I think they should have cut before his splash though. The whole effect would have been diminished at night. My only gripe is that often it looked way too much like a set.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I feel silly for asking this, but is that the dead Gil-galad who tries to grab Frodo? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>I hope not! Gil-Galad's body should have been taken back for a royal funeral, at least to Gondor if not Rivendell. Hopefully the movie doesn't put him in the Dead Marshes.
