Why would Peter Jackson leave out the Paths of the Dead?? Isn't he a big horror/ghosty type of director? Think of the scene in the Dead Marshes. I don't think he could resist having Aragorn (with his beloved Arwen, {ick}) leading an army of ghosts to battle. Not that I want that to happen, it just seems like something he would do.<P>I can also see where he would have Smeagol jump and Frodo try to save him. Some long, drawn out scene where we see Frodo dangling over the Crack of Doom, Sam holding onto his feet, and Smeagol hanging from his hands, begging to be dropped in. "It's a far, far better thing we do..." Very silly and very Hollywood.
