RotK Pictures and Response to Tinoiwien
Lilly

Anyone who has been to the 'images' section of this site may know the picture titled "hobbits in Mordor", and it depicts two hobbits peeping over a rock at a tremendous orc army progressing from the darks of what is apparently Mordor. Although I don't doubt that that is Mordor and that those are hobbits, I wonder if it really is a shot from the movie (or whether it even has anything to do with the movie.) If you look closely at the hobbits, you see both of them have dark hair. How could that be? The one without the cloak must be Frodo...but...ah, well. If anyone has any input I'm open.

Also, in response to the 'Frodo Naked' article, I also have had fears about this. Obviously it's nothing bad, as the movie is PG-13. I'm thinking he'll have a blanket (or, after further thought, I think he might actually have a sort of cloth-thing, making him seem more like Gollum. Can't you see it? Frodo finally brought down to the most Gollum-like he's ever been, whip-scars and all. Quite an experience for Sam. But I digress.) It might come down to having a buch of shots in which certain items 'conveniently' block the view (like in all those old 'Adam and Eve' shots with the handy bushes). But I'm not going to worry about it: I have total faith in the decency and ingenuity of Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, and all the talented writers working on this.
