To Mr. Underhill, Etc.
Magic Fire

In answer to Mr. Underhill's question about the words to the song in the Extended Edition, actually, I believe it to be a combination of two songs that are in the Fellowship (book). But the words are:

Hey Ho to the bottle I go
To ease my heart, and drown my woe!
Rain may fall, and wind may blow and
there may be many miles to go!
Sweet is the sound of pouring rain
and the brook the leads from hill to plain.
But better than rain or rippling brook
is a mug of beer inside this Took!

And you helped me because I could never understand the last line!

Movie Poll: This is at the movies only, there is no telling how many times I have seen the Fellowship since it came out on DVD:

Nine times - Fellowship
Seven times - The Two Towers

Favorite seen that I want to see in the Return of the King: Aragorn and Eomer meeting on the battlefield after Aragorn rejoins them on the Cormallen Fields.
