Here's some other nit-picks:

"The Hall of Meduseld was gold in the books, why didn't I see any gold in the movies?"

"Everybody knows that Wormtongue cut Saruman's throat; he didn't stab him in the back like the movies shows."

For my money, one of the nittiest picks of all is the complaint that the wargs did not look enough like wolves.

Touche!

I don't disagree. It's a purely emotional thing. When I heard that there would be Wargs and Warg-riders in the film, I was so looking forward to seeing them. But they were such a disappointment that it has become one of my major gripes about the films.

And ROTK EE would have been given a 15 or 18 rating. As all films would have been if Orc blood was red.....

I verily believe that there are those people that can tend to be quite "nit-picky," as one would call it. I know that it can even be irritating sometimes to others who are not so picky, but I think that we ought to respect everyone's opinion. No one should get on anyone's case (in a disrespectful manner, that is) for what they post. One can disagree, of course, in a polite manner, but one should always be mindful of others. At least, in my humble opinion.

Refering back to Boromir's original post, although I think the comment about Gandalf's staff light to be rather trivial, I can still see what this person meant. To have been able to see a truly beautiful, bright blinding light (like the aura around Arwen when Frodo first sees her) would have been quite inpirational.

Well, I'm not really that nit-picky when it comes to the movies... but I guess I have made comments about the Hobbits' hair color. Frodo's is great, but I thought that the other's were too light. I was mainly irritated with Merry's, but that's also because I thought it was too light for Dominic Monaghan's complextion. Haha... talk about nit-picky!

But, hey, some of the best jokes and parodies come out of nit-picking

Is it just me, or was there something wrong about the Mouth of Sauron? He didn't seem right to me...

That's very funny. Goes well with what I said earlier, albeit put in a much more interesting way.
