I was watching the Two Towers dvd this morning and I noticed Arwen fighting at Helm's Deep. They need to do a better job at cutting.

Goldberry · 08-31-2003, 09:05 AM

I always find it funny when Frodo says "Get off the road! Quick!" It sounds so forced. In Rivendell when Boromir drops the helm of Narsil and Aragorn picks it up and puts it back, he puts it back crooked! This always made me very annoyed.In Lothlorien, when Haldir and the rest of the elves are surrounding the fellowship, I always find it strange that while Aragorn, the hobbits and everybody else have their hands in the air, Legolas is aiming his bow right back at the Lorien elves.

Meela · 08-31-2003, 01:38 PM

After Gandalf and the Rohirrim ride down to the Uruks at Helm's Deep, you see shots of fighting. Look out for the bits they show of Eomer. Behind him to the right is a red clad figure with dark brown hair. It can only be Arwen, unless someone else has managed to turn up as well as her.

Lily Bracegirdle · 08-31-2003, 02:44 PM

I agree, Brinniel! Faramir looks really funny when he yells "NAZGUL!!!" I think it's the way his nostrils are flared or something.I mis-spoke about Sean Bean. He's going to have some more scenes, but in the extended TTT, not ROTK. They're going to show some scenes of him and Faramir retaking Osgiliath together (before Boromir set out for Rivendell), and some scenes between Boromir and Denethor. It's in the "EE preview" on the TTT disk.Cheers! -Lily

HCIsland · 09-01-2003, 10:39 AM

Funny, I loved that touch. I never felt Wormtongue wanted to see the complete destruction of Rohan. He just wanted to reap the benefits of being in league with the man in charge. When he saw Saruman's forces he caught of glimps of Saruman's vision and knew that it included the destruction of everything he ever knew.H.C.

dragoneyes · 09-01-2003, 10:44 AM

When I saw that tear, I just wondered what exactly it was that he was expecting. That Saruman would politely ask for all of Rohan's land and the people's undivided servitude?

HCIsland · 09-01-2003, 11:04 AM

As Aragorn points out though, this is more than just a force necessary to dispose a monarch. This is an army designed to wipe out Rohan entirely."This is an army bred for a single purpose, to end the race of men." H.C.

Elentári · 09-01-2003, 11:12 AM

Oh...somehow, I never thought of Wormtongue as being sad at the thought of the destruction of Rohan...I thought he was shedding a tear at the beauty of the sight before him...but maybe that was just me. Oh man, my next door neighbour had better hurry up and buy it!! I really want to look for Arwen!!! Ok, so she shouldn't even be there...

Sauron_the_Abhorred · 09-01-2003, 11:39 AM

when Legolas cuts the rope and the ladder with all the Uruks, its sounds like an URuk yells Motherf*cker, and in TTT game , it sounds like an ORc yells *ssholeis when Lego trips right before the part where ARagorn finds Pippens brooch....?and, thefunniest parts is when Smeagol and Gollum are talking to each other, and Smeagols says, WE could give it to Her, he gets the most hiariouse face.[ September 01, 2003: Message edited by: Sauron_the_Abhorred ]

Eruwen · 09-01-2003, 11:45 AM

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this, or seen it, but I found something when I rented TTT this weekend...When the battle for Helm's Deep is going on, and Rohan has retreated into the caves, they show a scene with Aragorn, Theoden, etc inside the large stone room. This is when it's light outside already. Theoden starts saying something about how it's all over and they have lost. It's hopeless, blah blah blah. When Aragorn hear's him he says something along the lines of "You said this place would hold as long as your men defend it. They are still defending it!"As he says this beginning of these lines, he begins to help Legolas pick up a large beam to carry over to the door. Lego has the front, and Aragorn the back. When Aragorn says "They are still defending it", he lets go of the beam, and Legolas continues to carry it on. It is funny because Legolas suddenly notices that Aragorn is gone, and he almost drops the beam since he's not able to carry it. It's just funny watching Aragorn leave his companion as his end of the beam hits the floor making it desperately hard for Legolas to carry. But it might just be me...

But I don't think he minded having Rohan wiped out, after all, he gets his 'share' of the 'treasure' once all the men are dead. Perhaps he had hoped to rule Edoras? I don't know, but it seems unlikely he'd be sad that Rohan was to be destroyed.

09-01-2003, 01:30 PM

I think they added that because right before he sees those tens of thousands he doesnt realize that that Saruman had so much power.......So he's like, What? How did this get here? Since this was not exactly the setting for that reaction, they had him weep in amazment.

Goldberry · 09-01-2003, 01:46 PM

The tear could also be because he thinks Eowyn will die if Saruman's army attacks Rohan.

The Only Real Estel · 09-01-2003, 05:29 PM

Actually it's all a possibility (albiet a rare one) that the tear just slipped out. Sometimes, if you're trying to act really amazed your eyes do water.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>it seems unlikely he'd be sad that Rohan was to be destroyed.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>I thought the same thing.

Novberaid · 09-01-2003, 07:51 PM

I just find it amazing that ten thousand troops could have been hiding when Wormtongue rode into Isengard. He had to have known they were there. He has that amazed look on his face like, "Where did all these troops come from?"

samrohan · 09-02-2003, 06:17 AM

I agree about him surely having noticed some troops but most of them appear to have been 'created' in the depths of the foundations lying around Orthanc. These crevasses appear to be where PJ has placed the Uruks. Tolkien always left this a little vague in the books, and PJ created a lovely nest of crevasses in the surroundings of Orthanc which subsequently get drowned by the ENTS. They probably could have contained so many Orcs, and don’t forget that Saruman was one of the greatest wizards.

Goldberry · 09-02-2003, 06:46 AM

Regarding Gandalf's wink to Aragorn before they enter Meduseld: I always find it a bit funny that there are many guards besides Hama surrounding them, apparently watching them, and not one comments on Gandalf's wink, and Aragorn's even more conspicuous little grin. Some guards they are!

Hmm well I never saw him trip in the cinema and I don't have the DVD And about Aragorn having this horse called Brego...at what point did he befriend him exactly? The first point I knew it was Brego was when Aragorn had that vision of Arwen but it was the horse kissing him

And to my sister: "Are you frightened?" (by this time she knows what I want from her and says "yes.") and I reply "Not nearly frightened enough; I know what hunts you." Oftentimes it is a quote that actually has nothing to do with what I am doing... To get back on topic, I never saw Legolas trip. Perhaps they cut it out on the DVD.

Anyone notice when Aragorn throws an apple at Pippin, it hits his head and falls to his right side, but you see the apple in his left hand even before he supposedly catches it.

For those of you who haven`t noticed, in The Two Towers when the Uruk-hai that are holding Merry and Pippin captive are being attacked by the Riders of Rohan, Merry and Pippin`s hands are tied together, right? Well when Pippin is about to be squashed by a horse, he rolls over on his back and his hands are at his sides! But that was before he cut them! I wonder why Peter Jackson didn`t catch that?

I think it's the way his nostrils are flared or something.<P>I mis-spoke about Sean Bean. He's going to have some more scenes, but in the extended TTT, not ROTK. They're going to show some scenes of him and Faramir retaking Osgiliath together (before Boromir set out for Rivendell), and some scenes between Boromir and Denethor. It's in the "EE preview" on the TTT disk.<P>Cheers!<BR>-Lily __________________ "But nay: the praise of the praiseworthy is above all rewards." - Faramir

He just wanted to reap the benefits of being in league with the man in charge. When he saw Saruman's forces he caught of glimps of Saruman's vision and knew that it included the destruction of everything he ever knew.<P>H.C. __________________ "Stir not the bitterness in the cup that I mixed myself.

This is when it's light outside already. Theoden starts saying something about how it's all over and they have lost. It's hopeless, blah blah blah. <P>When Aragorn hear's him he says something along the lines of "You said this place would hold as long as your men defend it. They are still defending it!"<P>As he says this beginning of these lines, he begins to help Legolas pick up a large beam to carry over to the door. Lego has the front, and Aragorn the back. When Aragorn says "They are still defending it", he lets go of the beam, and Legolas continues to carry it on. It is funny because Legolas suddenly notices that Aragorn is gone, and he almost drops the beam since he's not able to carry it. It's just funny watching Aragorn leave his companion as his end of the beam hits the floor making it desperately hard for Legolas to carry. But it might just be me...

But I don't think he minded having Rohan wiped out, after all, he gets his 'share' of the 'treasure' once all the men are dead. Perhaps he had hoped to rule Edoras? I don't know, but it seems unlikely he'd be sad that Rohan was to be destroyed.

LOTRFreak297 Guest Posts: n/a	I think they added that because right before he sees those tens of thousands he doesnt realize that that Saruman had so much power.......<P>So he's like, What? How did this get here?<BR>Since this was not exactly the setting for that reaction, they had him weep in amazment.

Novberaid Animated Skeleton Join Date: Aug 2003 Location: Mirkwood Forest Posts: 45	I just find it amazing that ten thousand troops could have been hiding when Wormtongue rode into Isengard. He had to have known they were there. He has that amazed look on his face like, "Where did all these troops come from?" __________________ By the starlit mere of Cuivienen, they rose from the sleep of Iluvatar

samrohan Wight Join Date: Aug 2003 Location: Touring Minas Tirith with Gimli and Legolas Posts: 107	I agree about him surely having noticed some troops but most of them appear to have been 'created' in the depths of the foundations lying around Orthanc. These crevasses appear to be where PJ has placed the Uruks. Tolkien always left this a little vague in the books, and PJ created a lovely nest of crevasses in the surroundings of Orthanc which subsequently get drowned by the ENTS.<BR>They probably could have contained so many Orcs, and don’t forget that Saruman was one of the greatest wizards. __________________ I can't believe I have not watched the return of the king yet.
