Silly things to look for in RotK

[Evisse the Blue]

I think, "He's upset because he killed a fly when he did it, and he sees the little dead fly smooshed on his hand!"

That's what I thought so, too, the first couple of times I saw the movie.

Ok, a thing that really makes me laugh everytime I see it, is this: At Edoras, after Pippin looked in the Palantir and everybody is in that large hall talking, suddenly there is a bird's eye view of the room and a man walks in the background from one side to the other, with a big dog on a leash. The dog looks like a greyhound. This is probably not something so out of the ordinary, but come to think of it it's pretty gratuituous - it's as if someone said: 'let's add a bit of motion to an otherwise static scene, let's create a diversion" I can imagine this scene being directed by PJ: "Alright, Ian, Viggo, and the rest, resume your places and look serious. Billy, you look guilty. Cue man with dog, you're on in two seconds!And, action!"
This scene reminds me of a similar scene in XF the Movie, as Mulder walks away from the car, right before it blows up, there is a rat that scurries from one side to the other. That would have been hilarious indeed had it been directed that way, only it wasn't; the rat just happened to walk by at that particular time, and they kept that shot in the movie.
