I was watching the Two Towers dvd this morning and I noticed Arwen fighting at Helm's Deep. They need to do a better job at cutting.

I always find it funny when Frodo says "Get off the road! Quick!" It sounds so forced. <P>In Rivendell when Boromir drops the helm of Narsil and Aragorn picks it up and puts it back, he puts it back crooked! This always made me very annoyed.<P>In Lothlorien, when Haldir and the rest of the elves are surrounding the fellowship, I always find it strange that while Aragorn, the hobbits and everybody else have their hands in the air, Legolas is aiming his bow right back at the Lorien elves.

That made me smile. <P>And here's another thing I just remembered. When Frodo and Gandalf are in Bag End talking about the Ring and deciding that it *is* actually what they think it is. (I'm sorry, I can't remember exactly which point). They both simultaniously look over at it, and then there's just a still shot of the Ring sitting almost innocently on the table. It's almost like it's saying 'Who, me??'

After Gandalf and the Rohirrim ride down to the Uruks at Helm's Deep, you see shots of fighting. Look out for the bits they show of Eomer. Behind him to the right is a red clad figure with dark brown hair. It can only be Arwen, unless someone else has managed to turn up as well as her.

I agree, Brinniel! Faramir looks really funny when he yells "NAZGUL!!!" I think it's the way his nostrils are flared or something.<P>I mis-spoke about Sean Bean. He's going to have some more scenes, but in the extended TTT, not ROTK. They're going to show some scenes of him and Faramir retaking Osgiliath together (before Boromir set out for Rivendell), and some scenes between Boromir and Denethor. It's in the "EE preview" on the TTT disk.<P>Cheers!<BR>-Lily

Funny, I loved that touch. I never felt Wormtongue wanted to see the complete destruction of Rohan. He just wanted to reap the benefits of being in league with the man in charge. When he saw Saruman's forces he caught of glimps of Saruman's vision and knew that it included the destruction of everything he ever knew.<P>H.C.

When I saw that tear, I just wondered what exactly it was that he was expecting. That Saruman would politely ask for all of Rohan's land and the people's undivided servitude?

As Aragorn points out though, this is more than just a force necessary to dispose a monarch. This is an army designed to wipe out Rohan entirely.<P>"This is an army bred for a single purpose, to end the race of men." <P>H.C.

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this, or seen it, but I found something when I rented TTT this weekend...<P>When the battle for Helm's Deep is going on, and Rohan has retreated into the caves, they show a scene with Aragorn, Theoden, etc inside the large stone room. This is when it's light outside already. Theoden starts saying something about how it's all over and they have lost. It's hopeless, blah blah blah. <P>When Aragorn hear's him he says something along the lines of "You said this place would hold as long as your men defend it. They are still defending it!"<P>As he says this beginning of these lines, he begins to help Legolas pick up a large beam to carry over to the door. Lego has the front, and Aragorn the back. When Aragorn says "They are still defending it", he lets go of the beam, and Legolas continues to carry it on. It is funny because Legolas suddenly notices that Aragorn is gone, and he almost drops the beam since he's not able to carry it. It's just funny watching Aragorn leave his companion as his end of the beam hits the floor making it desperately hard for Legolas to carry. But it might just be me...

I think they added that because right before he sees those tens of thousands he doesnt realize that that Saruman had so much power.......<P>So he's like, What? How did this get here?<BR>Since this was not exactly the setting for that reaction, they had him weep in amazment.

The tear could also be because he thinks Eowyn will die if Saruman's army attacks Rohan.

Actually it's all a possibility (albiet a rare one) that the tear just slipped out. Sometimes, if you're trying to act really amazed your eyes do water.

I just find it amazing that ten thousand troops could have been hiding when Wormtongue rode into Isengard. He had to have known they were there. He has that amazed look on his face like, "Where did all these troops come from?"

I agree about him surely having noticed some troops but most of them appear to have been 'created' in the depths of the foundations lying around Orthanc. These crevasses appear to be where PJ has placed the Uruks. Tolkien always left this a little vague in the books, and PJ created a lovely nest of crevasses in the surroundings of Orthanc which subsequently get drowned by the ENTS.<BR>They probably could have contained so many Orcs, and don’t forget that Saruman was one of the greatest wizards.

Regarding Gandalf's wink to Aragorn before they enter Meduseld: I always find it a bit funny that there are many guards besides Hama surrounding them, apparently watching them, and not one comments on Gandalf's wink, and Aragorn's even more conspicuous little grin. Some guards they are!

Hmm well I never saw him trip in the cinema and I don't have the DVD <BR>And about Aragorn having this horse called Brego...at what point did he befriend him exactly? The first point I knew it was Brego was when Aragorn had that vision of Arwen but it was the horse kissing him

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Well, that's better than I. I'll quote just for the heck of it whenever I can.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Heh. I do it just to annoy my sister sometimes. Once she was making supper & couldn't leave, so I just sat at the table & quoted the whole movie! By the way, I also like Legolas's ticked-off face at Eomer after Aragorn introduces him, "Well meant indeed!"

Anyone notice when Aragorn throws an apple at Pippin, it hits his head and falls to his right side, but you see the apple in his left hand even before he supposedly catches it.

For those of you who haven`t noticed, in The Two Towers when the Uruk-hai that are holding Merry and Pippin captive are being attacked by the Riders of Rohan, Merry and Pippin`s hands are tied together, right? Well when Pippin is about to be squashed by a horse, he rolls over on his back and his hands are at his sides! But that was before he cut them! I wonder why Peter Jackson didn`t catch that?<P>
