Did you notice?

[BigFreekinGoblinoid]

On second viewing, I realised that Gandalf is a wicked breakdancer. That 45 degree angle headspin is dope.

LOL LOL HAHAHHAHAHHH! OK - My best out loud laugh from these message boards yet! Too funny. Im crying here...

Seriously though, that scene where Gandalf battles Sauruman
was a little less than it could have been. Basically they just slammed each other around...

Basically they just slammed each other around...

That is what happens when you have two unprepared wizards trying to fight each other. It is almost as bad as a bard fight.

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.

Oh, not this nonsense again...

Attention to all concerned--THERE WAS NO CAR! The source of smoke is CLEARLY A HOUSE! However that elite band of smartypants who like to think they're so clever for noticing every single minor gaffe in a movie--including ones that are intentional in-jokes, or plain don't exist--thought they saw a car there. The rumor spread, and like the KKK member on the cigarette pack, soon almost everyone and their dog was "seeing" the nonexistant car. And now that it's out on tape, and we can all see that it wasn't a car, they, rather than admit they were wrong, are claiming it was digitally removed, because, after all, nitpickers can't make mistakes! That would mean they're just pathetic losers with delusions of grandeur!

Jeez, this ranks right up there with the "Gandalf's Mickey Mouse Watch"...

Orc actor screwed up

After the final battle, Aragorn steps over some dead orcs to run to Boramir's aid. One of the supposedly dead orcs turns and lifts his head to watch him.

I noticed this the first time I saw it in the theatre.

At the end, where Frodo is standing on the shore with the ring in his hand, he starts crying. The tears on the left and right cheeks are at a specific place (on the left, the tear is almost all the way down). The scene cuts away to Gandalf (or whatever) and then returns. When it cuts back to Frodo, there is no tear on the left, his cheek is dry and a tear is just starting on that eye again. The right side is equally out of sync.

Check it out man!

The fletching in Legolas' arrows is made out of leaves.

On the right-side Argonath, as the Fellowship sails through, you can see a small dark shape near the eye of the statue (Gollum?).

After Boromir dies, Aragorn puts on Boromir's bracers (is this mentioned in the books?).

On the right-side Argonath, as the Fellowship sails through, you can see a small dark shape near the eye of the statue (Gollum?).

I can't believe I know this, but I'm pretty sure at that point that Gollum is swimming behind them on a log.

Last night I watched again and noticed something that may or may not be something- it's just fun to speculate. The nine kings of men... when the light fades and just the one king is left visible, four dim candles stand out over him. It occurred to me that this could represent the impending control of evil. Perhaps the candles are there to foreshadow the Nazgul crown he'll wear. It was creepy to watch, thinking that...

Oh, not this nonsense again...

Why not?

Attention to all concerned--THERE WAS NO CAR!

There was also NO DOG. And ELVIS has LEFT the BUILDING. THANK YOU.

The source of smoke is CLEARLY A HOUSE!

We know this, because the house has a huge sign on top of it with an arrow pointing down, saying "THIS IS A HOUSE".

Or maybe not.

However that elite band of smartypants who like to think they're so clever for noticing every single minor gaffe in a movie

Indeed. They might even possibly be smarter than you.

--including ones that are intentional in-jokes, or plain don't exist--

Which is what makes it SO MUCH FUN!

thought they saw a car there.

Which means there was a car there. BEHOLD THE POWER OF THE CONSCIOUS MIND!

The rumor spread, and like the KKK member on the cigarette pack,

WARNING! Smoking KKK members can seriously damage your health.

soon almost everyone and their dog was "seeing" the nonexistant car.

D00d, if you are taking your dog into the movie theater, you DESERVE to see anything you want to see.

And now that it's out on tape,

And the best tape is the one that's wound around a DVD!

and we can all see that it wasn't a car,

Because THIS TIME, it has a big sign on it with an arrow pointing down, saying "THIS IS NOT A CAR!"

they, rather than admit they were wrong,

Even though they weren't,

are claiming it was digitally removed, because, after all, nitpickers can't make mistakes!

That's the best part of nitpicking.

That would mean they're just pathetic losers with delusions of grandeur!

Pshaw. I get ALL my delusions of grandeur from this messageboard.

Jeez, this ranks right up there with the "Gandalf's Mickey Mouse Watch"...

Idiot troll. Mickey Mouse is a trademark of AOL Time Warner, so there's NO WAY he could have appeared in a New Line production. Please check your facts before posting nonsense to web boards, &c.

 

[Prince Atom]

This wasn't really a notice, not so's you could see it in the DVD, but I was watching LOTR again in the theatre (man, it was out forever round here) and when it comes to the big battle between Aragorn and the Uruk-hai,

it went on forever,

and a day,

and when Aragorn won and cut off the Uruk-hai's head,

someone was heard to shout,

"Power to the people!"



Well, it was funny at the time

I suppose everybody saw Legolas stab the one Uruk-hai in the throat with an arrow, pull it out, and shoot another one with it? Tough arrow. Strong Elf.

I'm not the most sharp-eyed person in the world, so I have little else to contribute.

My corrective lenses need correcting.

 

[Rhialto]

Why, you... you... you little...

restrains self from using Rhialto's Flaming Fist of Justice.

Listen bub, if you want to state your honest-to-goodness reasons for why you believe a car was there, go ahead. But if you want to be a smart-ass and crack wise--well two can play at that game, pal...

Why not?

Because, that's why.

There was also NO DOG. And ELVIS has LEFT the BUILDING. THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

We know this, because the house has a huge sign on top of it with an arrow pointing down, saying "THIS IS A HOUSE".

Or maybe not.

Or we know because it's a large immovable object that only vaguely resembles a car, and that's only if you glimpse it quickly, and are convinced that it's a car.

Indeed. They might even possibly be smarter than you.

I have my doubts about that. Still, anything's possible...

Tell you what let's get back to this...

Which is what makes it SO MUCH FUN!

YOU'RE WELCOME.

Which means there was a car there. BEHOLD THE POWER OF THE CONSCIOUS MIND!

MY GOD! Hong, my friend, you have just revolutionized the standards of proof! If people think they see something, that means it's really there! You've just proven the existance of Bigfoot, the Yeti, the Loch Ness Monster, and pink elephants! What amazing skills of deduction! (Rhialto/nitpicker relative I.Q. test #1).

YOU'RE WELCOME!

WARNING! Smoking KKK members can seriously damage your health.

No, smoking KKK members can seriously damage their health. And nobody cares. Well, except for the KKK members, and they don't count.

YOU'RE WELCOME!

D00d, if you are taking your dog into the movie theater, you DESERVE to see anything you want to see.

laughs nervously

That's right, hong, that's exactly what I meant. Keep on plugging, pal...

(Rhialto/nitpicker relative I.Q. test #2).

And remember everyone, with research there is hope...

YOU'RE WELCOME!

And the best tape is the one that's wound around a DVD!

laughs nervously

Sure hong. Sure...

Because THIS TIME, it has a big sign on it with an arrow pointing down, saying "THIS IS NOT A CAR!"

looks around, frantic

Umm, hong, are you--all right...? You seem a little...excited..

YOU'RE WELCOME.

Even though they weren't,

Because they say they aren't! That's proof, of a sort...

That's the best part of nitpicking.

No, the best part of nitpicking is when a nitpicker shuts up. At least that's the part I find best...

Pshaw. I get ALL my delusions of grandeur from this messageboard.

You keep telling yourself that...

YOU'RE WELCOME.

Hey, I didn't say there was a Mickey Mouse watch in Lord of the Rings, but a lot of people said they'd seen one...

Hey, that mean's there WAS one in the movie! I mean, people said they saw it! (Rhialto/nitpicker relative I.Q. test #3).


Oh, and YOU'RE WELCOME!
