Meriadoc1961 has just left Hobbiton.
I, for one, smiled when reading the SNL sketch, and I have had my differences with Sauron the White regarding the books v. the movie.

I admit, I had not really given this much thought regarding the age of Theoden in the movie. In hingsight, I guess he maybe should have been older.

What I found more disturbing was the total distortion of the ages of the hobbits. Frodo was supposed to be considerably older than the other hobbits, and yet he was the youngest in the films. I do like the films, but I just did not get the necessity of making Frodo the youngest.
