[Tar-Palantir]

Whew, glad I've got a little company re: Frodo. I am definitely blaming the scriptwriters for it too (and a little bit on Elijah)! How many times can he fall down? Seriously, always tripping and stumbling about (especially in FotR), staring off into space with his palm up holding the Ring. And my absolute pet peeve now - - - - rolling his eyes back into his head at the drop of a hat, over, and over, and over.... And one more dig, that lisp when he says "Sam" I wouldn't have been overly shocked to see him give Sam a big kiss at the end of either movie. <P>*Tar-Palantir drops his bashing stick and looks around the room to see if he has caused a commotion*<P>Hugo Weaving looks as though he a playing the part as a theater actor rather than as a screen actor, but he definitely makes a presence of himself, which I think is important for the part of Elrond.
