HCIsland has just left Hobbiton.

I know this is from FoTR, but rather then start another thread...<P>This is in the special edition and always makes me smile. It is when they are departing and Elrond says, "May the blessings of elves, men and free folk go with you." or something pretty close to that.<P>Anyway, when he says "elves" there's a cut to Legolas. At "men" they cut to Aragorn and at "free folk" they cut to Gimli.<P>This makes me smile because it reminds me of a Simpson line were the Simpson's home is saved by fire by the local community and Reverend Lovejoy says something like, "Your friends pulled together, be they Christian" (cut to Flanders) "Jew" (cut to Krusty) "or miscellaneous." (cut to Apu). <P>I guess what makes it funny (well, maybe just to me) is that it can be argued that the tone of the Simpson reference is not exactly out of place.<P>H.C.
