Ok, Encaitare, I'll give you that. Frodo deformed isn't as hideous as Gollum during the ROTK flashback at the beginning, I will admit lol. I guess my fan man side caught on, that will happen occasionally.

So, I really don't see a possibility of Frodo containing the Ring long enough to get him to turn into hideousness
True, but if you have seen the documentary in the TTT EE on the scene in question here, then you've heard PJ's description of what the scene is for. He said that it was a picture of what Frodo would become if he were allowed to keep the Ring (given the proper amount of time). So it seems that Jackson was most likely never intending to mean that Frodo would have, beyond a shadow of a doubt, ended up looking like that, twisted & wretched.

Ring

Yeah, Elijah`s good looks can`t be blocked out easily.

That`s true, Boromir88, but what if Frodo turned aside from his quest, and hid somewhere (like Gollum) long enough that the ring could take hold of him completely?

Man, that is one disgusting and freaky pic... Gollum was cuter...

That couldn't have happened, from a historical point of view. Things were set in motion at that time, and Sauron was getting ready for to hunt high and low for that Ring while crushing Gondor and anyone who dared stand in his way in the process. Like Gandalf said, everything depended on speed. Considering that, Frodo could not have been in possession of the Ring for so long as to develop a Gollum-like appearance, Sauron's many spies would have caught up with him first. So such a thing is not possible even from a hypothetical point of view, it's totally irrelevant. They might as well have shown a picture with Frodo being tortured in the chambers of Barad-dur, that would have been much more likely to happen.

That`s a sad and horrible thought Evisse, but good point.
