Man oh man! I've been back from my 2nd viewing of TTT for a while now and just finally got a couple of minutes to sign on and post.

The screen capture pic we have of Gimli sitting on the Orc carcass is definitely not in the movie. It is either an outtake or from RoTK.

Also, I'd like to chime in that it is easy to be a little disappointed with it if you are looking for a "straight from the book" format. Otherwise, it is really wonderful and a lot of fun!

carton - I loved your review! Gollum is really incredible and heartbreaking to watch, isn't he? Did you notice that the exchange where he throws the fish down in front of Faramir and says "Don't want fish." was not there? That was one of the moments I missed the most, but there was so much missing, it seems almost childish to complain about that one scene.

I cannot wait for the Extended Version simply because I can only imagine what they had to take out in order to stay at around 3 hours.

I'll be back later. Are there any chats scheduled for tonight?

If there is a chat tonight, I'll log in late, around 9:30pm central.

Hi, Ruthy.

I guess it was good since you've already been twice.

Am waiting for my wife to finish final exams, then hope we'll find time to go before we leave town in a couple days.

How did your husband like it?

When he had the fish in his mouth, I thought it would be done.

But I love what was done instead. Oh, it was heart breaking. His back to everyone because he was betrayed... and being comforted by Gollum, and slowly loosing all the ground that Smeagol had managed to gain.

And didn't you love it when he was dancing around after Smeagol had banished Gollum. Oh, he was so cute.

Still my favorite was his fretting over the cooking of the conies.

Smeagol was great!
