I have just done some filming for the pick ups and have a couple more days to go over the next month. Cheers, looking forward to it Bruce."
I thought the discussion between Elrond and Arwen in TTT to be very effective movie storytelling--particularly that wonderful scene from the appendix about her own mortality should she choose to stay in Middle Earth.
If PJ wants to be very nice to his fans, he could film a "appendix documentary" for the extended version of ROTK to include the beginning of the Fourth Age of Middle Earth, and Sam's career as mayor of Hobbiton...the stuff that's in the appendix. With a voiceover narrative, wouldn't be too much trouble...(g)p>
