Oughten't the movie follow the intent of the author of the books? The Scourging was an important part of RoTK to Tolkien, its logical end, and with as jolly good a job as Peter Jackson has done so far, I should think he'd be able to hold to the original intent of the books, their meaning to the author, and so on and so forth. It boggles the mind that he could leave out the Scourging!
