Did you notice?

When Sam and Frodo are leaving the Shire, Sam says: "if I take one more step, this will be the furthest I've ever been."
When they start walking again, you can see smoke coming from the top of a hill in the right screen corner. A friend of mine swears its a car that's driving over there.

Yep, it's a car. It's certainly moving too fast to be a house.

Unfortunately/fortunately, they edited it out of the DVD release.

Peter Jackson is a huge TWF freak.
We all know Aragorn is a Ranger, so he should have TWF, and we can see Legolas's two hunting knives, but several other characters use two weapons.

And the aliens Two Buttock attacks in his other classic Bad Taste...

Bad Taste is a classic? Ugh. I didn't get through the first 10 minutes of it. At about the 5 minute mark, I called all my friends in to see how crappy the movie was. They were equally unimpressed. Of course, this was back before LOTR, so it was back before geeks were required to like Peter Jackson.

That in the LotR: FotR movie, Saruman's staff is shaped like the top of his tower. Including a white stone that sits on the staff where he stands on the tower.

Yup. Pointed that out to my wife when we were watching the DVD.

"Bad Taste is a classic" please note the sarcasm in my fingers when I typed this.....

I liked the film for its pure awfulness, so bad it was "good", and yes I saw it when it first reached the shores of the UK, long before young Peter did his thing with LoTR

This could be so obvious that everyone noticed it but when Frodo and company are hiding under the log from the Ringwraith and all the worms and spiders start coming out of the log, its at the moment when the Wraith touches the log. I think this implies that ANY sort of living creature is repulsed by the Wraith's presence and flees from it.

Sadly, I noticed something that they missed. Glamdring, Gandalf's elven blade, never glows when orcs are near, while Sting does... Alas, this should not be so....

Ah, when Gandalf gets the sword in the Hobbit (from the Troll's cave) it is never mentioned to my knowledge whether Glamdring glows when Orcs are near. As far as I know that ability is only in Bilbo's sword Sting (and Gandalf specifically mentions it).

Unlike D&D magical swords do not always glow in Middle Earth.

Mind you, magic swords don't always glow in D&D either....

I have to point the petrified trolls out to everyone I see the movie with.

When will the geeks inherit the earth and get it over with?

Yup I know they rarely do in my campaigns, though I'll never the forget the thief creeping across a courtyard, with guards surrounding the battlements, when he decides to unsheath his magical short sword.. ::shoom:: light surrounds him, poor little guy...

Anyway, I digress, I too don't remember Glamdrin glowing round orcs, it was a most feared wepon of the orcs and its name may well be derived from the descriptive word for orcs.. glamhoth ...
I'll remove my geek head now and try to look normal again..
