Palantir clip from ROTK
Don't know if you've come accross this yet:
http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/l/lotrrotk.php It's clip 5 by the way. So, instead of using the scene to show Aragorn's will power withstanding that of Sauron's (like in the book), they've made even this scene another scary, action type sequence. *sigh*

I couldn't get it to play. (And I really don't want to download RealPlayer. I already have Windows Media Player, DivX, and Winamp.)
Does anyone know another source for that?

Is that the extent of Aragorn's willpower with Sauron and the palantir?
The sound of hysterical laughter, that's me. |

Ummm, Foolofatook? Again?
*imagines touch late night script writing session at NL* Boyens: "Ya know, I just don't know what Gandalf should say in this scene?" Jackson: "Well, what does the book say?" Boyens: "Don't with that book business again!" Jackson: "Just kidding, heh heh!" Boyens: "How 'bout he says, 'Fool of a Took!', again?" Jackson: "Whatever. I'll have the WETA boys juice it up so no one will even notice he's talking." Boyens: "I still can't believe I got this huge a project the first go round. Writing is way easier than they made it sound in those correspondence courses I took."

Oh hell this is how I feel -
<- Cirdan's post <- scenario , <- Jackson and Boyens <- what Jackson was thinking and knows about Lord of the Rings , , <- the fact that Jackson was able to pull the wool over so many people's eyes for so long , <- overall feeling on the Lord of the Rings. movies and Jackson

Yea! I got it to work. They really went to town on that Fool of a Took line. They also overdramatised the scene, naturally. In case you were wondering, they're in Minas Tirith because they took out the whole Orthanc story arc.

Yeah - I could tell they were in Minis Tirith with the wooden doors, I'm wondering if it's Denethor's Palantir that Pippin looks into and NOT Saruman's now. I like the Palantir scene in the middle of the woods as it is in the book. They even seem to be using "horror" type music.

*Makes appropriate "ree ree" music from Psycho along with stabbing motions* Hello Pippin...
I also noticed the non-metal gates. Weren't they plated with mithril? That would have looked cool. Edit: And I love that scene from the book too! They could have had a funny scene without taking cheap shots at Pippin or Gimli! What a novel idea. (Gandalf waking up with a rock for a pillow!)

Too much action there. For some reason this clip looks like a bad horror movie. Maybe it's the music.

If it is in Minas Tirith, what the heck was Merry doing there!
*panics* What if he doesn't swear fealty to Theoden and join up with Dernhelm!?
