Is John Howe one of the "nine mortal men doomed to die" too? I thought it was just Alan Lee...*checks* You're right. They both are there, one from the end of each side. John Howe one from the right, Alan Lee one from the left (if I'm recognizing them correctly).

Yes, that's right.

I've watched FOTR about 50 something times and I didn't even notice Alan Lee and John Howe! How stupid do I feel?

Actually the only reason that I recognized them was because there's a pretty big picture of the nine men in the book Weapons & Warfare that I have. It's a lot easier to spot them in a still photo.

My favourite cameo was that of peter jacksons children. They are so cute in the fellowship as the children listening to gandalfs story. They also appear in ROTR as citizen of minis tirith throwing flowers to the soldiers leaving to try and take back osgiliath.

I could have just about coped with one appearance by the Jackson moppets but I found three such prominent ones somewhat nauseating - especially since they had a very limited range of expressions (of course they may have been drugged into docility

). I mean they are so conspicuous, makes it look like that the citizens of Middle Earth were not so much reproducing but cloning ... and from a very limited gene pool....

Well for me this one is straight forward The corsair scene where PJ gets killed. The director of the movies being killed. I also like it that there are so many cameos in that one scene and of course their commentary on it is funny too.
