This was one of the strangest moments of the film. I hate to say bad things about these movies, but this wasn't among my favorite scenes. <P>Gollum on invisible Frodo <I>did</I> last too long, no one laughed, but I had to refrain <P>Frodo going over the edge was a bit remnicsent of Aragorn's tumble in TTT. Maybe I had it all wrong, but I never imagined Gollum being so gleeful and giddy during the actual fall. He should have shrivled long before submerging into the lava, that's hot stuff! And the way he just went down slowly... yikes that was disturbing. I'm not sure why. Don't get me wrong, I loved this film more than any I've ever seen, but this scene was just strange. <P>On the other hand, I love the first half of the scene. The throbbing in the atmosphere, and indecisive Frodo. That was perfect.<p>[ 9:32 PM December 17, 2003: Message edited by: Shy Hobbit ]
