Awright, so howcumizzit then that at least half the time when Frodo puts on the Captain Midnight Decoder Ring of Doom, we can still see him?

I mean, does it make him invisibibble or not? Gimme some consistency, here, man.

**SPOOFE** is right! If they hadn’t waste time with the titles, they could have included the scene where Merry talks about the wooden spoon he inherited from his grandfather! The movie was RUINED because they didn’t have that scene!

i’ve seen a clip from the the third. frodo and sam seem to have each found a pair of nike from god know where. do they even have designer brands in middle earth?  
i fear the bearded one went over budget and couldn’t afford anymore latex hobbit feet. and what with nike paying who knows how much for the rights… but i think this product placement is going too far and i’m sure it’ll disgruntle the fans. unless they’re in the book? i only read it the once.
