Unmixing the Storylines
Eonwe

Just a quick question about The Two Towers. In the book, the different storylines are told (mostly) separately, but the movie cuts between them. I was wondering if anyone has taken the DVD and just watched one of the storylines (ie. Frodo's or Aragorn's) straight through? I half expected this would be an option in the DVD menu, like the Memento DVD which allows you to watch the scenes in two different orders, forwards or backwards.

I think it would be really interesting, but I keep forgetting to do it. After all, it's one of the few book-to-movie changes that us fans of the books can undo! Now, if only there were a 'Make Faramir Nobler' button on my remote control...

p.s. I just looked; it's not there.
