I seem to recall Book Sam feeling pretty intimidated by his first sight of the 'tall houses of Men'. So the Hobbits aren't all *that* comfortable in Book Bree.<P> As for movie Bree. The sinister atmosphere is mostly in Frodo and Sam's heads, look at those experienced pub-crawlers Pippin and Merry, they seem right at home. In fact Pip's face lights up at the sight of the common room, clearly *he* doesn't see anything sinister about the Pony or its patrons.<P> Frodo and Sam on the other hand are worrying over what to do next and what's happened to Gandalf. No wonder the Breelanders seem threatening to them!
