Silly things to look for in RotK

[Lady Snickerdoodle]

I dunno about y'all but I find it REALLY weird when Pippin's being tortured by Sauron through the Palantir and is clearly in pain, but Merry just sits on his bed going "Pippin. Pippin." I mean he didn't even look worried. He doesn't even try to wake Gandalf or get help. i find that creepy and sadistic...

"I give my hope to Men; I keep none for myself."

Yes, Aragorn`s mother said that to him before she died.


I agree with you, Lady Snickerdoodle. You would think that Merry would yell for Gandalf imediately after Pippin looked into the palantir, when he was clearly in pain.

Since I'm waiting for the EE to come out (far cry from last year when I bought an Oscar copy in January of TTT), I'll just comment.

And also, there is absolutely no Sauraman or Wormtongue in this movie (but I imagine they'll be in the extended edition). That's odd, eh?

Yeah, they went off and eloped. Actually, it bugs me that we don't see what happens to Sauron.

8. When Merry and Èowyn kill the Witch King, it starts shriveling up and makes a noize like when you pull on the sides of a balloon and release the air!

For this they won an Oscar?!?! Gotta love high-budget sound-effects!

Awesome thread! Here's one I found: In the crowning of Elessar (Aragorn), after Gandalf puts the crown on Aragorn and it's a long shot, you can see closely that Gandalf is wearing tennis shoes. I didn't know maiar could make shoes

Galdalf also wears those when they ender Rohan.

and when sam and frodo hug while laying on mount doom after the ring is destroyed they look like theyre going to kiss!

San Francisco loves Frodo and Sam! Okay, no they don't. San Francisco loves Wizard of Oz, but I love Frodo and Sam and am disturbed by this.

Okay, this one is complicated, and self-inflicted. Remember the scene with Denethor eating? Keep those slurping ew-ness sounds in the back of your mind until the end of the film, when there's that nice vapour-lock, kissy moment between Aragorn and Arwen. Reinsert the sounds. Ta-da! An extraordinarily amusing moment! *My apologies to all Aragorn and Arwen fans*

That slurping was so gross!! Now I'll never be able to watch the valor-locked kiss without laughing my @ss off again!
