I thought PJ totally goofed with the Denethor diving off the cliff scene. <P>One of the creepiest parts of the books is when Tolkien describes Denethor laying down in the pyre (by choice) and dying in the fire holding the palantir. PJ could have done an absolutely neat special effect with the burned hands showing in the palantir.<P>I think handling the scene the way it was written would have shown more clearly just how twisted Denethor's mind had become.
