save me... (SPOILERS!)
yesterday i was in me favourite bookstore, when i happened to see wht LotR movie Visual Companion for RotK. (further known as VC3)
i usually don't buy the visual companions before i've seen the movies, but this time, i figured that i wouldn't have money for a while (my car insurance is due next week) so i swooped in and grabbed a copy. while flipping though it, i found many exciting a nd disturbing things. good news first
now for the bad news.

Well, the good news certainly outweighs the bad!
Of course, knowing about the Scouring of the Shire being out, for the longest time helps! Only 3 on the Paths of the Dead has had lots of forewarning too. Evenstar,schmevenstar....

I coulnd't care less if the evenstar broke. But I do know what someone in particular will say "That was just another excuse for Jackson to put in some more action."

I love the films, but I do hate many of the changes. This one (about the Evenstar) seems pretty pointless and ridiculous. Is an embodied Sauron (riding on a warg) going to rip it off Aragorn's neck and say "Ha! That's for your ancestor cutting off my fingers and stealing my Ring!"? Or will Jackson have Pippin accidentally break it? Who knows, though I shudder to think...

Ok people, let me ask you one question. Has the movie been released and I just haven't known about it? Exactly, it hasn't, so stop jumping to conclusions until you see it with your eyes...Yes some of the stuff is true, but a lot of things that are out there are nothing but fabrication...
Then again, that's just my opinion

And why is such negative stuff said about jackson - because he's a hack. He took a book that could have been made into a GREAT movie and created an action flick. Lord of the Rings should have been so much more - not just a dumbed down typical hollywood action movie.

I think he did some great things--the fact that he pulled off the whole thing in the first place amazes me. He did get quite a bit "right;" but, he also did some things pretty terribly.
At the end of the day, I know I'm going to love ROTK, just like I did the others, despite some major flaws. I also know that when I want the *real* LOTR, all I have to do is open a book.

And if you look at the soundtrack info, the Havens are quite obviously in the film.
