It's hard to choose, isn't it. It's all so good.

legolas7410 · 02-22-2003, 02:44 AM

i cant wait for when the hobits fight!!!

bropous · 02-22-2003, 06:05 AM

Oh. geez, where the heck do I start?

Merry and Pippin smoking and snoozing as the army of Rohan approaches, and the sharing of pipeweed as the fellowship members catch up;

The parley with Saruman and Wormtongue's hurliing down of the Palantir;

Pippin's tortuous experience talking to Sauron hissef through the purloined Palantir;

The first good hard long look at Minas Tirith as Gandalf crosses the Pelennor with Pippin riding shotgun on Shadowfax;

Our first look at Denethor and the "interrogation" of Pippin by old mad D;

The scenes of hordes of orcs, trolls and seige engines approaching Minas Tirith for the big battle;

Aragorn and Company on the Paths of the Dead and the scene at Erech;

Aragorn calling Sauron a big wuss and a sissypants via the Palantir;

The assault of the Witch King on the gates of Minas Tirith and Gandalf's standoff;

The arrival of the host of Rohan, the fall of Theoden and the brave attack from behind by Merry the Kneestabber and Dernhelm/Eowyn;

The arrival of the host of the Captains of the West at the Morannon;

The arrival of Sauron on the battlefield to face Aragon mano-a-mano (oh come ON, you can't POSSIBLY think Jackson wouldn't write that in);

Shelob and the scenes in Cirith Ungol and Minas Morgul (PLEASE leave in Shagrat and Gorbag...);

Gollum's last stand....and fall;

And, sadly,finally, reluctantly,

The Grey Havens and Sam's final arrival Home.

We were just joking. Nobody wants to see Gimli and Legolas having sex. Yuck.

Ruinel · 02-22-2003, 01:33 PM

Lalaith, phew!!! Glad to hear it.

bropous, as I said... It's hard to choose, isn't it. It's all so good.

Right and for some reason that always seemed kinda funny to me.

I'm looking forward to Merry, as a Knight of Rohan, kicking Nazgul butt with Eowyn, and Pippin being a Knight of Gondor!

A message to PJ: Please include the Scouring of the Shire, I don't care if RotK is five hours long, I promise I'll go watch it! Multiple times! Sam is da hobbit.

right on!!!

Arien the Maia · 02-23-2003, 11:19 PM

I'm really looking foward to The Gray Havens...I wonder if they will actually show the ship approaching Tol Eressea? That would be sooooo cool! But probably not

I am also looking forward to seeing the Frodo/Gollum struggle in the Crack of Doom!

Is PJ a member of this group? Will he re-shoot RotK to include the scene? I don't think so.

Evenstar1069 · 02-24-2003, 07:48 PM

I can't wait for the Battle of the Pelenor Fields. PJ better not kill it!

Balrog_of_Morgoth · 02-24-2003, 08:14 PM

I am looking forward to Gandalf confronting the Lord of the Nazgul at the gates of Minas Tirith.

Seeing more of Miranda Otto.

Hoping to see Sauron take physical form

Captains of the West and the Mouth of Sauron

**Nurvingiel** · 02-25-2003, 01:15 AM

I predict PJ will do an awesome job of the Battle of Pelennor Fields. His battle track record is pretty darn good. He does like the drama, but Pelennor has all that already.

I wouldn't want to see Sauron taking physical form. A wrong picture of him could destroy the whole movie for me.

**Nurvingiel** · 02-25-2003, 02:27 PM

I don't think he will, since this doesn't happen in the book.

Even though, they did have this in the intro to FotR. I thought he was a bit too human there, which is why I agree with you Lalaith. But how else are you supposed to portray Sauron, I suppose.

Edit: I just thought of this: Prince Imrahil! He's going to be so cool! The Prince of Dol Amroth.

Lalaith · 02-26-2003, 01:16 PM

If Prince Imrahil will be in the movie. Maybe he will be left out like other characters.

**Nurvingiel** · 02-26-2003, 11:01 PM

He might not get mentioned maybe, but the battle of Pelannor Fields will definately be in RotK, so he'll at least get to ride by the cameras a few times. I don't think it would be hard to keep him in the scene after Eowyn kills the Nazgul Captain. She's unconscious and Eomer thinks she's dead. Prince Imrahil sees that she's still breathing and has her taken back to Minis Tirith. They don't even have to say his name, but I'll know who he is.

How? Just calling the most handsome guy in the battle Prince Imrahil?!

**Nurvingiel** · 02-27-2003, 08:33 PM

Well, that would be one way.

Actually, he'll be the one who's leading the largest company of men into Minis Tirith, rought 3000 knights.

He's also the one looking concerned about Eowyn, who isn't Merry or Eomer, who checks to see if she's still breathing, and finds that he is. Plus, he runs the city, or at least commands the battle, for a while while Denathor is going slightly mad.

A moral of the whole (after the primary symbolism of the Ring, as the will to mere power, seeking to make itself objective by physical force and mechanism, and so also inevitably by lies) is the obvious one that without the high and noble the simple and vulgar is utterly mean; and without the simple and ordinary the noble and heroic is meaningless."
