One smile was all it would've taken...
Note that not one molecule of glycogen was harmed during this post.

That looks terrible!
But I get your point.

I agree. But I didn't have a good distortion program to make Ian smile, and so used what I had on hand to make the point.
Plus it looks somewhat like those wax lips you get around Halloween time.

With this scene I would have liked to have seen Peter Jackson keep more to the books, or at least have Gandalf put up some sort of a fight.

There are probably 20 or so scenes in the movies, this among them, that if redone slighly or cut out entirely, would have greatly improved the movies by better matching the books without losing much or any "mass appeal". I wish it had been done! Certainly if Tolkien himself could have been consulted and obeyed, the movies would have been greatly improved, and I think without necessarily alienating those viewers with little or no knowledge of the books, or reducing profits.
Sauron the White - regarding the glycogen use issue in the runner's muscles, if this is a concern then how do we explain Shadowfax? This horse ran at incredible speeds for very long distances, far beyond the ability of any "normal" horse. This isn't physiologically possible in the real world. If an argument is made that Gimli could not sustain his long run, then wouldn't the same argument apply to Shadowfax's performance? If not, why?
