The staff after Orthanc is a new staff... that was mentioned in some of the earlier threads... The first staff had a hidey hole for a pipe... the new one is different and has the handy light on it. Gandalf never actually wears his Ring until the departure at the Grey Havens. Elrond also hides his ring. Do they have them stashed somewhere or do they have a concealed weapons permits... JenB?
Oops, you beat me to it! LOL...
Are you here? I am hanging out in the chatroom...
In the book, only certain people (notably Frodo) are able to see Galadriel's Ring. Maybe the same is true of Gandalf's. Concealing itself from sight would certainly be an easy task for a device of such power.
Does anybody remember seeing a ring on Gandalf's hand? There is a closeup of them at the point he's hanging on at the Bridge.
I saw the movie again last night to see the trailer and I actually saw the famous car (or whatever it was) in the cornfield scene. It was definitely something moving.
I guess I'll have to see the movie for the tenth time and watch Gandalf's handses. Darn!
