Favorite Little Things about the Trilogy

[Sandro]

Did you notice that each charactor had an object in the background that pertained to his or her character? Boromir had the horn, Frodo had the Ring, Aragorn had Anduril, etc.

[Morsul the Dark]

indeed an excellent ending to the perfect trilogy I almost cried...because that movie was so great but also because I knew it was the last one so no more were to come...

Aiglos being displayed near the Shards of Narsil.

Oh, I didn't see that! Where is it?

I also love how when Pippin finds the apple floating on the water in TTT, he looks up remembering getting whacked in the head by mysteriously falling fruit.

*points at avie* I love that bit! ^ ^

Sean Bean rocks.

Indeed. Anyone here seen any of the Sharpe series? Very lofty.

~The "Yeah, well..." grin on Pippin's face when Merry accusses him, "You did somethin'."

~Merry kicking Grishnakh in the face.

~Merry and Pippin pulling Aragorn's legs out from under him during their "fight" with Boromir.

~Shelob's spaz attack after Sam stabs her.

~Merry and Pippin's drinking song at Edoras. (I won an award for a calligraphy piece I did of that. )

~The thoroughly-frustrated-and-upset expression on Pippin's face after Denethor chucks him out of the mausoleum with instructions to "Go now and die in what way seems best to you."

~Frodo's paranoid expression at the beginning of RotK, just after Sam asks, "Haven't you had any sleep, Mr. Frodo?"

~*this is a blooper* When Frodo is sprinting up the side of Mount Doom, just after Gollum's attack, you can see a little stream in the background.

I saw all of them! Loved them. They beat Lotr by a mile. j/k, but they're still wonderful.

just wondering why is that ablooper? remember in the book they do find a spring plus seeing how Mordor is mostly a miniature it was basicly a dilebrate strean sorry to ruin your fun

How many blissful little streams have you ever seen running down the side of an ACTIVE VOLCANO in the middle of a DESERT? Go check in the book; the last time Frodo and Sam were anywhere near water was before they were caught by the orcs on the road. That was long before the slopes of Mount Doom, my friend.

Abedithon le,

It is being displayed a little further down the hall. It is upright and it looks like any other elven spear, but it could only be Aiglos. Look for it in the scene where Boromir cuts his finger.

Speaking of Grishnahk, when he is about to stab Merry in fangorn, he still has the spear-head sticking out of his sholder. Most directors wouldn't go for that kind of continuity, thinking no one would notice, but Jackson did.

the shot of Gandalf after Pippin's song, sitting down alone, leaning on his staff, a sad, even hopeless look on his face. stunning

the rohirrim smashing into the line of orcs

frodo's smile 'bookending' the films

and merry and pippin turning around at the havens to leave Sam alone with his thoughts.

[Encaitare]

On further discussion of Grima, he has no eyebrows, bad dandruf, and a cateract.

Indeed he does! Poor sod. He's also got a little bald spot in the back; you can see it for about a second or two in the scene when he and Saruman are looking down at the Uruks from Orthanc.

[Neferchoirwen]

I loved the brief appearance of the Hobbits when they come back to the Shire in Gondorean garb.

But what gets me the most is the look on Pippin's face after he accidentaly drops the bucket into the well in Moria. Pitiful, but well expressed.

Gandalf's mumbling in Moria when he was trying to remember where to turn is also one of my favorite little things.
