I forgot about him...maybe because he wasn't in the movie. ;-)
I recall reading somewhere that Tolkien produced this resurrection inadvertantly by using the same character in different roles, apparently without forethought. He then invoked the Valar to explain the contradiction. After all, Glorfindel was certainly a special guy. Now why he got a better deal than Luthien (who had to die a second time) I can't say. Luthien should try to get her money back.
The city was Gondolin. It gets a quick mention in the Hobbit.
Hence why I hated the part where Arwen shows up in FotR. ;)

Yeah, that's what I read too. End result was that Glorfindel was given a new body and sent back.

Yeah, I remember now. Glamdring, the Foe Hammer, that the King of Gondolin once bore.
