Aside from the fact that FFXI is older than south park... t-that is actually quite an interesting & curious parallel. XD
As for Aragorn. Agreed and agreed! I think Viggo Mortensen makes a very convincing Aragorn though. He really took the character to heart and wanted to go through the whole 'become Aragorn' process. Sure Aragorn became more of a dashing hero type rathar than the strider I pictured when I first read the book... but well, yeah. And concerning the lack of Houses of Healing, like I said earlier, I agree ._.;; but on the other hand they did include things in the movie that weren't even in the book (but actually in the appendix, not saying what though... don't want to ruin anything 83).
Exactly, the dashing hero. Particularly at the end of The Fellowship... (beginnning of TT in the books), the character is completely different!! But that aside, I really liked his Aragorn.
Hmmm, I might know what you are referring to, but let's talk about that again when I finish the book, yes. Thanks! :D
Hohoho! Much amusement ensued when I found my first post after coming out from the cinema after the premiere of RoTK (back in 2003) and one of my first comments on eljay being: [possible spoiler(?!) whited out.]
I'm very much pleased with the movie, and care not to rant about things like "Denethorn's Pyre didn't go like that", "What happened to the house of the healing?", "Why? Oh Why? Did Frodo and Sam break up?", "Buhu, they didn't have Sam's song i the movie" and "what happened to the Scouring of the Shire and 'saving the Shire'?" because frankly I decided long ago just to take the feel in and hope that they atleast saved the sense-moral from the book, and they kept some of the scenes I felt was vital. -- from hereHeheh, so like I said, I totally agreed with you on that one [house of healing]. Even to the point of obviously being upset after coming out of the cinema (although I opted to give Jackson c/o the benefit of the doubt about removing it). Going through my old posts to add tags I found all sorts of fun things! :D Had

I have just finished the book and know what you are talking about. I understand why they removed that from the movie, because if people, at least in the cinema I was, were already tired of epilogues by the time the hobbits return to the Shire, if you add the anticlimatic "battle" of the Shire, with the heroes Merry and Pippin, it would have been too much. Perhaps as a deleted scene, like an alternative, extended ending? Sure. And maybe one day they'll do it. No, I am sure they will, as soon as they run out of ideas for new epic movies, once more. But in this version I find that they managed to round it up well, showing with the tabern scene how they were nobodies in their own land, once more, and couldn't really communicate all they had experienced
