I'm talking about the under-discussed scene in Edoras where... oh, what am I saying - you know <I>exactly</I> what I mean!<P>What the Utumno was up with that? Was anyone else embarassed and ashamed that an exorcism was brought into the movie, where it is nowhere near even hinted at in the book (IMO)? Of all the hideous sins perpetrated by the filmmakers, I think this may be the worst. Would JRRT have been a fan of The Exorcist? Are you?<P>Related threads found <A HREF="http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=4&t=001447" TARGET=_blank>here</A> and <A HREF="http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=4&t=001720" TARGET=_blank>here</A>.
