...that's what I meant when I said he didn't really like it and didn't include it. He didn't like it in terms of pace
And yes Saucepan man, tuche.
Arcticstorm, you bring up good points. There is no doubt that drama was a part of it. As for the genie in a bottle deal, with him being sucked into the ring, his misty aura explodes, rather than implode into the ring. And, although it really isn't a good comparion, when Sauron actually dies in the movie, you can see him dissolving almost in the fashion Tolkien described how Saruman died.
