The ubiquitous head-butting, snow-boarding, dwarf-tossing jokes, "Let's hunt some orc," "Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys," Saruman vs. Gandalf in Staff Wars, other assorted modern references that jerk us out of 3rd Age and into contemporary times, Gimli dribbling ale and belching, Boromir being sensitive/Faramir being hard, scary Gandalf clamping hand on Frodo in Bag End, scary ghouls attacking Frodo in Dead Marshes, producers/writers inserting their own Elvish songs instead of using acknowledged classic text . . . the answer to the question is, Yes, you bet!
