**RotK - Gothmog (Chief Orc at the Pelennor)

[Erundil]

I honestly think that both "Gothmog" (who looked like he had either a really bad case of leprosy or had had a run-in with the Crack of Doom on a bad day) and "Skull-boy" (that's what I'm calling him from now on) were both horrendously done. I know PJ has made some bad choices in filmitography (Xenarwen, Elves at Helm's Deep, the Searchlight of Mordor), but I think this one comes close to taking the cake.<BR>I mean, come on, the dreaded Lieutenant of Morgul is an albino orc with a skin disease, and his second in command is a nerdy-looking little orc who has some dudes skull tied onto his helmet? This is pathetic. They could have at least made them look a little more 'normal' (however far that adjective goes with orcs) instead of their hilarious clown-like selves.<BR>Thus ends my daily rant against PJ and Co., with me thinking about how crappy a movie that I tried to make would be, but still being mad at them for not being truer to the book.<p>[ 10:31 PM February 02, 2004: Message edited by: Erundil ]
