[Vast Buffalo Wing Conspiracy]

In the extended version of the FOTR DVD, somewhere (it might have been in the commentary tracks) one of the techies remarks, during the scene where Gandalf arrives at Minas Tirith to research the archives regarding the One Ring, that Peter Jackson wanted them to make Minas Tirith look like "Constantinople in the morning".

I'll finally get to see what the latest fuss is about in a little over three hours!
