I love the way that Jackson stole an idea from George Lucas and used it in ROTK.<P>I'm talking about the bit where just before Minas Morgul lights up and shoots the beam out, there is half a second of SILENCE before the 'explosion' of light. It is amazing. <P>Now the last time I saw this is in the scene in SW Episode II just as Jango Fett drops a mine out of his spaceship towards Obi Wan, and we have that short bit of silence before we see and hear the explosion. <P>Brilliant in both cases. (Yes, before anyone says so, I know you can't hear sound in space........)
