Did I just see 'Gandalf' throw 'Denethor' into the pyre? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I had exactly the same reaction. What movie am I in again? Gandalf was behaving more like his X-men character than Gandalf!The audience I was in cracked up when Denethor was on the pyre saying his bit about dying like whatever wild old race...and they didn't stop laughing until after the flaming swan-dive. I can usually figure out "what they were thinking" but this whole scene has me baffled. What *were* they thinking?And what was up with the soldiers just sitting there?Soldier 1: "Hey, check it out, Denethor is getting his arse kicked" Soldier 2: "Whoa..he's on fire. Think we should do something?" Soldier 1: "Nah, this armour chafes me if I move."
