I will not even tell you how long it's been since I read LOTR but the thing that confused me was Strider's sword. The sword that was broken shall be mended... something along those lines. Didn't the elves reforge the sword? My husband says that he carries it away when they leave but I missed it if it was remade. I want to see the movie again. Or maybe I'll reread the books.

And I thought I was watching. Maybe why the book is almost always better.

In reply to:
Actually, though, Bingley, I'd like to hear your take on how the elves could have been made more, um, elvish!
I don't know how you would give the right impression, otherwise I'd be in show business. Elves are not just people with pointy ears any more than Vulcans are. Elves should be heartbreakingly beautiful and seem timeless. There should be an underlying grief and longing and a capacity for great joy beyond mortal ken.

You've waited too long. He is MINE! [starry eyes e] (I do actually know an Elf who pretty well fits this description!)

"Legless" might be a decent aptronym - he didn't make any footprints in the snow. (You think I'm lying? Watch it again!)
My first inclination when I hear his name is to feel sorry that he can't find his plasticine building blocks... ...Lego...lost...Lego...lost...oh, never mind.

Legolas still has me sighing[sigh] no footprints? I didn't notice.[sigh]wiping drool off chin-e....sigh
I did notice the pottery, though. Did anyone else, or is it just me? I must say I haven't been so glad to pay that much to watch a movie in years. I was terrificly impressed.
