Although your version has a couple of extra seconds of the episode.

r10k, I studied the Bible with a respected religious man; one of the few Americans allowed to view and help decipher the Dead Sea Scrolls. We used an annotated version of the Bible that explained the puns, double meanings and other linguistic aspects that would be lost on someone who just picked up a King James at Barnes & Noble. My Prof. provided context, historical and cultural. He showed us more ancient Mesopotamian mythology that contained stories remarkably similar to those in the Bible. He, a religious man (Jewish), presented the book for what it was, with no apologies or attempts to shield us from the books' many contradictions and logical inconsistencies. Warts and all.

I seem to meet all your criteria for being able to have an opinion on the Bible. I've got context, depth and the instruction of a very wise religious scholar. No offense, but I probably understand this book better than you ever will, and yet....

My critical mind tells me this is mythology, like Zeus, or Beowulf, or Gilgamesh, or Frodo, Bilbo and Dumbledore. These are campfire stories from pre-scientific times that attempt to explain the -then many- mysteries of existence. Those days are gone, and we now know that we are not at the center of the universe, that space isn't made of water, that stars are not lights, that the world is not flat, that humans are part of an evolutionary chain and that the earth is billions of years old. Perhaps it's time to embrace the future, r10k, and leave the cave drawings behind you.

Just one person's opinion.... I could be wrong.

This scene was better in the book.



I do like this scene, mainly because it offers an improvement on the theatrical cut (which cannot be said of the majority of the extended scenes in ROTK, unlike the first two films) in that the Fellowship now believe Frodo to be dead, adding weight to their decision to fight on regardless. So in the films, it works. But like much of what merely "works" in the films (and don't misunderstand, I love these films), it would have been much better if they'd gone with how events played out in the book.

So as I remember it from the book, the Mouth of Sauron is a Númenorean (like Aragorn) and an officer in Sauron's army, not some hideously deformed monster. In fact he tried to bargain with the Fellowship, telling them that although Frodo was still alive, all of his posessions had been turned over to Sauron. He says that in exchange for the safe return of Frodo and Sam, the peoples of Middle-earth would be enslaved rather than destroyed, and would have to pay taxes to Mordor. But the reason I like this scene in the book is because of Gandalf's surprising response to the offer: that the two hobbits are not worth the price.

The Eye of God. B!tches!


Where's Mr. Frodo when you need someone to distract the eye of Sauron... err, the eye of God, sorry. I get the two mixed up -- they're both fictional villains with armies of fanatics that can't wait to usher in the destruction of the world.

I like the Frodo girl.

There was a missing soundtrack : "Nice flooring you've got there"


P.S Only Frodo bows to no one.

Frodo wants to taze you in the ring!

He's gonna take your butt hole to Mordor and set it on fire.

That was great! Who would have thought Frodo could actually sing...

He had me at: "Frodo Baggins couldn't see how broken his country was"

Looked like Frodo and Sam inside the armor...


That was Capt. Obvious and his sidekick Duh Boy.

Looked like Frodo and Sam inside the armor...

I think Sam wanted to slip it to Frodo
