renewed shall be blade that was broken

As an aside- yes . . . that was a really long sword. Right after the movie, my friends and I were only commenting on the swords, then we moved onto the other stuff. Keep in mind, by the way, my friends are all guys <P>Anyway, um, I don't know exactly when Aragorn receives it in the books, but I like the fact that he receives it in the third movie. I think it shows that he's now ready to accept his true role, and that he's reached his full maturity. It's sort of like he's been given his charge or something . . .
