<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> The Uruks turning “northeast” was a glaring and inexplicable geographical error, <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I was hoping they would overdub "northwest" for the DVD. No such luck.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Instead of scenes with psychological complexity and subtlety, we just have a Frodo who gets woozy when the Ring’s power waxes. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I completely agree here, though a great opportunity for this comes when Sam puts on the Ring (hopefully) in the next film. In fact, this is when Tolkien not only gave us more detail about how your perceptions change when wearing the Ring, but also it's psychological effects when Sam begins to get visions of covering Mordor with gardens. This is one of the scenes I really hope makes it into RotK.<P>H.C.
