Bilbo and Elrond chat in an Extended Edition scene

[Mornorngûr]

I've mentioned this elsewhere, but consider, say, the deleted scene featuring the death of Saruman in the Extended Edition of "The Return of the King." The dialogue about "gibbets and crows" is adapted, but then Saruman horribly segues into "something festers in the heart of Middle-earth." It's meaningless pseudo-medieval language which sounds like something from a Dungeons and Dragons manual, as if Tolkien was some author of motel-room paperbacks. It's pulpy pastiche like this which always spoils things for me.

I find it hilarious that Saruman's description of Edoras being a 'Thatched Barn' is actually made true in the films , another butchery from Jackson.
