<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Pippin killed by horse stomping on him. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>That was the most frightening part of the TTT movie for me. I thought, NOO!!!! Pippin has been crushed by a horse! and for the next ten minutes I couldn't get over my grief that they cut his part down so dramatically. Very convincing, PJ. There's also the "Arwen is dying for some reason" sub-plot. As if everyone didn't know the whole time that she would hook up with Aragorn at the end. PJ and Co must really underestimate their audience. Sometimes I think that the movies were made with three year olds or post-lobotomy patients in mind. Which is nice of the film-makers really, because those are two segments of the movie-going population that are often neglected.
