Hey, just post your favorite/least favorite things about the books, or the movies (if the comment is about one in particular, please specify)
I'd have to say personally my favorite character from the books is Master Samwise Gamgee... mostly because of 2 chapters... Shelob's Lair, and The Choices of Master Samwise... its just SO COOL to read bout Sam beating up Shelob. (The Choices of Master Samwise is also my favorite chapter of all the books) As far as the movie goes, my favorite character is Gandalf (he's my second favorite in the books) Although I didnt like the duel between him and Sauroman in the movie... I really have to say they did a good job with him. -------------------- "It's probably not a good idea to be chewing on a toothpick if you're talking to the president, because what if he tells a funny joke and you laugh so hard you spit the toothpick out and it hits him in the face or something."

Just randomly off the top of my head, I'd have to say the Scouring of the Shire. That chappie wasn't in the animated movie, so I was somewhat suprised when I read the book. I might have more input later, but that's it for now.

Lol, that part was kinda funny... "Sharky"
 I did like the type of tree they got again as a party tree though. One of the white trees of Gondor. -------------------- "It's probably not a good idea to be chewing on a toothpick if you're talking to the president, because what if he tells a funny joke and you laugh so hard you spit the toothpick out and it hits him in the face or something."

I don t really want to piss everyone off
 but I think the movie LOTR should be combined with the first Rocky movies. I think that the plot should be the hobbits making their way to mount doom for the big boxing match between Shire folk and a Russian. On the way, the Russians employ a dirty scheme to kill all their opponents before they arrive and are under the protection of Darth Sidius. Anyway after the Hobbits somehow defeat the odds and beat the Russians, the producers of the LOTR (Lord Of The Rock), in the search of more money, decide to make an uncountable number of sequels—each more and more meaningless. I think if we use this strategy, we might hit a gold mine with this plan!! |

Lol, the curse of the crossover parodies. Pointless, meaningless, completely lacking of understandable plot... and yet... usually you cant help but just laugh untill you fall unconcious
 I have to admit though... during the time between when I saw the first movie and the end of the third movie... I was slightly afraid they would try to have some duel between Sauron and Frodo (Perhaps Sauron kills Frodo with his mace right in Mount Doom, but Frodo drops the ring as he dies, and it rolls into the lava ) Or maybe somehow Sauron and Aragorn, or Sauron and Gandalf. But... thank percy they didnt. -------------------- "It's probably not a good idea to be chewing on a toothpick if you're talking to the president, because what if he tells a funny joke and you laugh so hard you spit the toothpick out and it hits him in the face or something."

You know, they were considering having a duel between Sauron and Aragon. I have to agree with you, thank percy they didn't do it, because that's not the point of the movie. It's Frodo's quest, and Aragorn and Co. are just a diversion. (At the point were this duel would have taken place, in front of the Black Gate.)

Maybe they should have had Aragorn be the one who had to carry the ring, that would allow a MUCH more epic final duel! You know... get rid of all those silly hobbits (silly hobbit, trix are for kids... okay, that came from nowhere) And then you can have Aragorn spend the entirety of Return of the King fighting his way through the goblin armies by himself, as he pushes towards Mount Doom, where Sauron awaits. But first he must slay each of the nine nazgule before the secret door of the nine seals can open. (I would continue, but if I do... someone might be tempted to act on this plot
) -------------------- "It's probably not a good idea to be chewing on a toothpick if you're talking to the president, because what if he tells a funny joke and you laugh so hard you spit the toothpick out and it hits him in the face or something."
