..which I can never forget, because a very close version of it is one of my middle names. ^_^ > I know the ending of the first movie pissed a few people off > (I have to > wait a year to find out what happens!!!) but you know, when > it's all said > and done, it would have been better for the story to do it right. The ending of the first one pissed me off because it was a missed opportunity (on par with, well, Episode I and II..) As the camera pulled back to reveal Sam and Frodo beginning their journey across that wasteland, what I wanted to see was 2 frickin' seconds of Golum, skittering onto a rock a km behind them, then bam! cut to black. As it is, everything is all hunky-dory, they just have a big hoo-hum boring walk ahead of them. > Bombadil > and the Old Forrest were wonderful parts of the book, but not > essential to the story.
