I am sure glad you found TolkienTown to be as funny as I did. ROTFL!

Maybe the additional footage showing how it was done will be in the super extra special platinum gold silver edition put out when all the movies have been released?

My two little sisters are here all evening, plus I have choir practice, so won't have time tonight.

Ballgame tonight so my attention will be divided. But I'll have more than an hour at work this afternoon and I don't have to cook dinner. I'm pretty sure I'll hit 30000 by the end of the week.

Smeagol saw it. I thought the last arrow got it.

Let's see... first arrow in the shoulder.

2nd arrow, more in the chest.

3rd arrow, in the stomach area.

I will admit it is not clear...

No one comes near him with a sword between the shot of it not broken and the shot of it broken.

But, you have to admit... that is one great fight scene.

Me too! But worst case scenario probably isn't as bad as it might be...the worst case would probably be that I have to move to Central or Southern NH. And though I'd rather not just because of my house and my family, that's not exactly a bad place to be.

So...today I'm positive. Tomorrow I may go back to being down in the dumps. ;-)

But I still haven't gotten a refusal from either of the two places with openings that I applied to, and I was told I'd get a letter if they decided I didn't meet their requirements. So there's still hope!

The danger is there... it stays in the back of your mind... but you just go on.

I was in Israel just after the Marine barracks bombing in Lebanon (December 1983). We saw a bus that had been bombed and parts of the airport were being rebuilt. Soldiers were all over the place. But we never really felt afraid.

I did get a little concerned once when we were in a little town on the border with Lebanon. They were frequently being bombed at that point. The guide pointed to the top of a hill and said "They are fighting a mile in that direction."

Corin was thinking "It's about a mile to the top of that hill..."

The first arrow gets him in the upper left chest, just below the clavicle, lacerating the top of the lung...

The second arrow went low, creasing the pancrease, the traversing segmet of the lower intestine, and probably nicked the kidney...

the third arrow hit between the two, taking the lower lung and possibly the renal artery... and didn't strike anywhere near the horn...

he would have bled out more quickly (30 seconds, max), if he'd been hit with broadheads... everyone, including Legolas, is using bodkin tipped arrows, for punching through heavy armor...

Hot deals on:

Elven Swords, never been used and only dropped once!
Elven Cloaks, with minor bloodstains
Elven girdles, to prevent that "big Elven butt" look

But what about shoes? An elf can never have too many pointy shoes...

I noticed that even on the regular DVD. I can't see where any of the two Uruk-Hai could have broken it.

Methinks it's just a flub, but knowing the prefectionist that Jackson is, perhaps we're the ones just missing something.

The fact that you know all that, I find very impressive. I agree that none of the arrows touched the horn. I think that is the illusion that PJ wanted you to have. Because there is a shot of Boromir fighting... horn intact... then the shot of the third arrow between the two (you were paying better attention than me) and the horn then was split.

I agree... the arrow didn't do it. But, I think the film editors wants us to believe that.
