at first I was horrified to learn that the scouring might be left out...but I guess it makes sense. If I made the movie the scouring part would take at least an hour and that would leave very little time for all the other stuff. And it would be very anticlimactic. But how are they going to explain that Frodo goes to Valinor? A simple dialogue couldn't explain all the anguish that Frodo seems to have gone through because he was a Ringbearer. (Maybe I just have a hyperactive imagination, but I get the feeling that he was really suffering, even after Saruman got his butt kicked and the Shire was restored.) I agree that TTT ended where it should: Shelob would have made the movie too long. <BR>oh boy, I can't wait until RotK comes out...I hope I don't cry when Frodo leaves for Valinor and Sam's "Well, I'm home." I almost did when I read the book, but I was on a road trip with my family so I just blinked hard. Even if it IS LotR, if the people around you have never read it they think you're stupid for crying at a book.<BR>only...um...eleven months and 10 days!!! (I think. I'm probably wrong, I stink at math.)
