Well, perhaps cutting this scene from ROTK will work well for that movie. There's been <B>far</B> too much emphasis to date on Saruman as the villain, to the detriment of Sauron's character as the <B>real</B> enemy. Without the Scouring of the Shire, there seems to be little point to Saruman being in the third film, and he would consume time required for all the many other plots.<P><B>But</B> one thing I have to say about PJs lack of planning is this:<P><B>WHY DIDN'T YOU PUT THAT SCENE IN THE TWO TOWERS?!?!@?!#@!?!</B><P>He wouldn't be short of time if he didn't waste precious seconds on rubbish like Haldir and the elves at Helm's Deep, or Aragorn's little side trip. Sigh. That is the closest to <B>angry</B> at PJ I have become during this whole book-to-film emotional rollercoaster.
