Yup, I really missed Tom Bombadil and Goldberry, myself.

I think Bombadil and Goldberry would be better served to show as characters if they did outtakes, or another film based on Tolkien's short stories...like Leaf by Niggle, or the actual Tom Bombadil story (didnt he write a short story/poem of Tom Bombadil and some of his other adventures?)

I am afraid I am one of those people who was quite relieved that Jackson left that part of LOTR out. that was the one part of the novels that I really disliked. bombadil annoyed the heck out of me. I almost stopped reading the books when I got to that part, and really didnt get interested again until the hobbits found themselves in the Barrow Downs. I wish PJ had put something like THAT in there...that would have been more in his line of work, as far as horror is concerned.

If you havent already, check out "Frighteners". it has Michael J Fox in it and is really quite good!
