Thulorongil (sp?) - For what it's worth, that scene was played out almost exactly as in the book. Deagol hooks a huge fish which drags him out and underwater, and while being pulled along he spots the Ring. Of course, it's strangely amusing in the book as well.Bill the Pony - Oh God! Thanks for ensuring that I'll never be able to watch that scene again without thinking about Drew the Coworker...urgh...For me one of the funnier bits was also a very good one: when Merry is berating Pippin after the Palantir incident. "Why did you look? Why do you always have to look?"Then Pippin: "I won't do it again."The sheer inadequacy of the answer made me laugh pretty hard. What, like he hasn't done enough already? (Granted, to quote Calvin and Hobbes, I get the feeling there was no right answer to that question).[ 5:11 PM December 23, 2003: Message edited by: Kalimac ]
