OK - Good night everyone - here is our nightlight! - Hope it doesn't scare you! - It shouldn't... it almost worked.

Well, for leg guys, when skirt hems were below the knees, anyway.

Does anyone know if they are going to include the 'undead' warriors, the ones who were called to fulfil their oaths. They were creepy, but were a good way to remind people of the level of crisis that Middle Earth was in, and the penalty for not doing what you had sworn to do. Would kind of like seeing X-42 as one of these perjured chiefs, at last earning a peaceful repose.

I haven't heard anything specific on this, but I can't imagine PJ would pass on exploring the possibilities of those visuals, lol...

Well I have heard nasty rumours that the whole fight against the Corsairs is being left out, although it was mostly told in flashback in ROTK. I would think that it is easier to leave it in, to explain the absense of Aragorn and most of the Fellowship from most of the Siege of Gondor, and they have to be absent, or the whole plot structure is warped beyond recognition.

Bad enough that they are apparently leaving out the last quarter of ROTK. I have seen pre-movie analyses that the Scouring of the Shire is one of the main lessons of LOTR, the dreadful costs that must be borne by those who fight for the right, that much of what you are fighting for will still be damaged, though not totally beytond repair.

Don't even get me started on PJ leaving out the Scouring! I could go on for days....

I didn't know he was leaving out the corsairs...that's interesting. I still think he'll include that great host of ghosts though--the creep factor of Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas being followed by that crowd of ghosts is surely too tempting to pass up. I wonder if he'll just have the spectral army show up at Pellenor Field and combine those two elements together.

Ack, I should never try to figure these things out, I always guess wrong, and I drive myself crazy in the meantime!

Not really sure about that, so check it out on a Ring thread before you concern yourself with it. Leaving out the Scouring is enough to fume about for 20 months, don't you think.

I can't chat Wednesday or Thursday.

Can we do Tuesday, pretty please? That would be what I would vote for...

Good Morning, everyone! Hair, I'm glad I go to bed before you turn on your night light! :)

Penny, Tuesday is okay with me ....maybe we should have view/chat on two consecutive nights. We need to hear from 2JM.

Good morning! - Sipping my coffee and blinking. Sorry about the scary night light. It is hard to find happy shots with lights in them in this film!

Let me think... 7 central is 8 eastern, yes? That would work very well for me, what about you west coast people?
