But seriously, that was my favorite bit of that movie: Please read the books, they're far superior to the movies. Edit: Downvotes, hmmm. Allow me to explain..

But seriously, that was my favorite bit of that movie: Please read the books, they're far superior to the movies. Edit: Downvotes, hmmm. Allow me to explain... The LotR movie trilogy, while being excellent movies in and of themselves, do not do the books justice. PJ's interpretation (and subsequent plot hacking) left me wanting more, and not in a good way. Admittedly, that may have more to do with the medium in which the storyline was delivered. Cinema, while more visually appealing than the written word, simply cannot offer the same depth that a book can. I think it's safe to say that in most cases where books are translated to movies, the book remains the better of the two. Anyways, sorry for the offtopic thread.
