So has anyone else ever felt this...

aruman Rivendell Oct 6 2012, 12:45am Views: 1611 So has anyone else ever felt this... While watching TTT tonight, I was reminded of something I've always kind of felt...when Sam and Frodo first see the Black Gate, the camera shows a close up of the gate and the orcs standing on top of it. Two orcs are engaged in a conversation, and for some reason I get the feeling that they are talking about something that is not at all work related... I can almost hear the shorter one complaining, "So then you're not going to believe what she did next..." or "My mother in law is in town, what a pain..." In the movies Elrond, Denethor, Haldir, Galadriel, and Celeborn stink.

Ziggy Stardust Gondor Oct 6 2012, 12:59am Views: 943 LOL Which scene is this? I didn't notice the orcs at the top gate. Is this in the Extended Editions? Anyway, I'll have to see this scene. They could even be arguing about orc stuff like, "Which do you prefer tender man-flesh or tough man-flesh?" Or maybe even something totally off the wall like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RY7_ZwgoeJM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RY7_ZwgoeJM

Shelob'sAppetite Valinor Oct 6 2012, 1:03am Views: 995 When the gate is opened by the trolls You can see a number of orcs on the walls, and two of them are talking to each other. Pretty hard to miss.

Ring-Bearer Rivendell Oct 6 2012, 2:54am Views: 922 They're just hanging out... ...letting the trolls do all their dirty work. Goes to show that evil and lazy slaves will never get your ring back. 'What are we holding on to, Sam?' 'There's good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for!' 'I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you!'

Ziggy Stardust Gondor Oct 6 2012, 3:25am Views: 945 Really? How did I miss that? I'm gonna look for them next time.

DanielLB Immortal Oct 6 2012, 8:11am Views: 862 They're probably wondering how a camera is floating in Middle-earth ;-) /   Want Hobbit Movie News? Hobbit Headlines of the Week!

Elenorflower Gondor Oct 6 2012, 12:23pm Views: 1053 they have probably just gone outside to smoke some Longbottom leaf, as BaradDur has a no smoking policy.

aruman Rivendell Oct 6 2012, 4:52pm Views: 940 Hahahaha "If the Witch King thinks I'm coming in on Saturday to watch the gate, he's got another thing coming. I've got tix to go see the Battle of the Bands down by the Lake of Nurnen." In the movies Elrond, Denethor, Haldir, Galadriel, and Celeborn stink.

Elenorflower Gondor Oct 6 2012, 7:18pm Views: 924 or Krasnak. '' phew dont ask the boss for a day off, the last guy got his head bitten off for asking''. Grisnak. ''yeah I hears Orc tastes a bit like pork''. Krasnak. .gulp.

Eruonen Half-elven Oct 7 2012, 9:23pm Views: 887 I never understood how running in behind the Southron army as the gate closes was a good idea. It is unlikely nobody was stationed on the interior of the gate. Plus, it was broad daylight.

Mr. Arkenstone (isaac) Tol Eressea Oct 9 2012, 2:01pm Views: 845 What about the last Easterns of the line that are entering the Black Gate when itīs getting closed? I can imagine this two orcs watching the Harads below laughing: Look at those two! And this poor bugars who were near to find the ring are coming back to the line before the gate gets closed behind their feet I can not guarantee his safety - understood... Nor will I be responsible for his fate - Doh!

Shelob'sAppetite Valinor Oct 14 2012, 4:35am Views: 702 It's certainly not how it was described in the book In the book, Sam and Pippin simply approach the Black Gate, have no clear idea of how they are going to get in, and are then offered Gollum's alternative route. I still cannot understand why PJ had Frodo and Sam actually start to run for the closing gate in broad daylight. A baffling decision.

aruman Rivendell Oct 16 2012, 2:27am Views: 1016 Ha ha good point Yeah, that was a pretty silly idea...they could have tried waiting til night, or figuring out some way of disguising themselves as Orcs, Easterlings, Southrons, etc. Maybe PJ just needed to have them do it so Gollum could stop them...IDK. In the movies Elrond, Denethor, Haldir, Galadriel, and Celeborn stink.
