T: Tower of Sorcery
Elendur

OK, this one's a nitpick, but I'll do it anyway.

"Paler indeed than the moon ailing in some slow eclipse was the light of it now, wavering and blowing like a noisome exhalation of decay, a corpselight, a light that iluminated nothing."

This filmakers obviously don't have to stick with the book on something like this, but doesn't black get a little boring? Every bad guy building in the movie is black. Minas Morgul was pretty cool(except the "dead army" glow) but wouldn't it have been better as a pale white. A matter of opinion.

PS- To David: Bad idea about 2 Hobbit versions. The Gilgalad stuff was funny though.

PPS- To Danny: Sorry, I didn't mean the Frodo the hero debate was useless, I just meant we'd gone over the same ground sevaral times. I posted in the debate too and agree that Frodo rarely gets the credit he deserves.
