Actually? Me too.
That made my day!
And did you imagine them after the battle, driving around with a large dog, solving mysteries?
Pish posh, I knew something was wrong with the film near the beginning, when Merry and Pippin were sitting on Saruman’s coach, eating his Spam, and smoking his Cuban cigars, while watching a news broadcast from Gondor on Saruman’s bib-screen TV.
No, that was Gollum. Then he sinks into the lava with the ring, and gives Frodo a thumbs up.
Yes, but did you like how the alien burst out of his chest just as he was falling in?
The other thing that surprises me is how surprised people were to learn that Billy Boyd can sing. Didn’t they see the scene in Rivendell in the EE DVD where Sean Astin sits down at teh piano and Billy starts singing, “You must remember this…”
Anyone wonder if Ian McKellen, Billy Boyd, or any of the rest of them have been monitoring these threads and laughing their behinds off at the comments?

Actually, I just saw, some few days ago, an interview with McKellen where he said something aboot spending a lot of time online and enjoying reading fans posts.
So, Sir Ian, if you monitor this particular board… Howdy!

Yes. They called it the “Mithril-y Machine.”

Don’t know about them, but I’ve been giggling like mad.

Oh my… I love you, Elijah!!! CALL ME!!!
The soldier wearing glasses didn’t bother me as much as when Sam pulled that bag of Cheetos out of his pack!! Give me a break!

Now… correct me if I’m wrong, because its been twelve-odd years since I read ROTK, but wasn’t it Gollum who threw the ring into the fires of Mount Doom at the end, thus redeeming himself?
Nope, no redemption for Gollum. He bit off Frodo’s finger, danced around with delight at having recovered his “precious,” and fell into the fires.
Which is really how the story needed to end, but sometimes I like to imagine the other ending, where a slowly healing Smeagol came to the Shire and Sam fulfilled his promise to cook him a proper hobbitish meal, with “taters” and all.
Random thoughts:
-Weren’t the signal fires Obscured By Clouds a Pink Floyd homage?
-Having Geoffrey Rush play the leader of the Dead Army was such a fine idea…
and
-the idea of a redeemed Gollum having tea and taters with Sam just made my day
It did set up “Lord of the Rings IV: Gollum’s Revenge”
And has anybody else heard of the new movie in pre-production planning stages, from the producers of “Alien vs. Predator”?
It’s called “Hobbit vs. Ewok”
I like that old Tony Randall film, Will Success Spoil Orc Urak
The song and dance numbers are simply fabulous. Those orcs can dance, let me tell ya.
And who can forget It’s A Numenor Life, huh? Jimmy Stewart running around at the end, yelling, “We ride to Mordor, Mr Potter! We ride to Mordor, you wonderful old savings and loan!”
But, my favorite cable show has to be the Middle Earth Network’s
Big Freakin’ Queer Eye For The Straight Maia.
Those faeries are a hoot!
I don’t even know what ROTK is, just wanted to say hi to NoClueBoy.
Darlin’, we have got to get you a DVD and a video club membership.

To be fair, Rush was the second choice for the role… after it turned out that Jerry Garcia wasn’t available…
