Yeah, that's true, Trotter. I always find that funny that Weathertop is never mentioned in FOTR, but mentioned two times in ROTK.

So what do you guys think about smoking in the films? I never thought a thing about it until I read Michael Martinez's vehement condemnation of it. Martinez (a practical Tolkien scholar, for those of you who haven't read his stuff) says the tobacco use is "reprehensible" and that there is no justification for it.

Incidentally, I don't smoke, will never smoke, and believe that smoking kills, but I don't see anything wrong with the inclusion of galenas-use in the films. What say you?
