Out of all of the movies I hope that it would most live up to it's potential.If so it will be much easier to look back forgivingly on TTT and enjoy it's ludicrous departures from the story. Hopefully PJ got all of the 'my vision' c#%p out of his head for the third one.Everyting moves so fast and interconnectedly I really don't think he will have much of a chance to bothch it. Uless he has Sam dive in with the Ring.Actually he could continue to sabatoge Faramir [unlikely] do something 'creative' Denethor - actually that is my biggest fear.Botches the couring of the Shire, he may omit it altogether, which while lamentable would be understandable seeing as how little of a shire he had in FotR to scour!So we may well go straight to the havens from Minas Tirith. Perhaps via Rivendell.It would be great if we get to hear gandalf say as they pass Bree [perhaps the Hobbits can go to Bree] and G. say well I am off to see Bombadil! Even if we never see him a oneline mention would be redeeming, and perhaps the hobbits could even jest, " be careful going through the Barrow-Downs Gandalf".Then in one 10 second clip the 2 major omissions [ well not counting Gildor] from the FotR can at least be mentioned. Anyway I am rambling and Estelyn will get me![ December 27, 2002: Message edited by: lindil ]
