Sorry about Everything." when Sam rescued him in the tower parallels Bilbo's line to Frodo after Bilbo tried to snag the ring back.5) If Jackson isn't allowed to make The Hobbit into a film, there ain't no justice.6) In the final credits, notice how Gollum/Smeagol got TWO line drawings?  Loved that touch.7) On "I will watch it again. I will buy the EE of the DVD's. I will always notice the parts that were poorly done no matter how hard I try not to, I will always miss the parts of the story that were left out or changed that I felt were important, and I will always love the parts that were well-done and equaled or exceeded my expectations.  This is the movie all Tolkien fans will have to live with, and live with it I will. " This parallels The Wizard of Oz.  That movie had flaws, but no sane person will try to do a remake of that movie.  I can't imagine anyone trying to do a remake of Lotr.8) So according to the movie, the ring-bearers were: Sauron, Isildur, Deagol, Smeagol, Bilbo, Frodo, Smeagol again.  (Boromir, Aragorn, Sam, don't actually touch the ring, if I remember correctly).  Oh wait, did Galadriel hold the ring or not?</blockquote>
