Yes, and you can see that Legolas has stolen Haldir's sword from Glorfindel. Must be returning it to Haldir's brothers.

Ah, so Glorfindel was pillaging the dead bodies this time, not Legolas?

Squee!!! That pic which shows the script with a few lines for "sauron the fair", those are lines from the song "Use well the days"--another song that Annie Lennox sings that was cut from the film! Go to my xanga if you want to hear it (it plays as the background music): www.xanga.com/vanya_elda

Well, it at least made me all excited for some reason...

They are all genuine Rost, and all to be found in the hours of extras on the DVD.

The rumour of aragorn fighting sauron was true to a point, it got cut early on but the idea wasn't all that bad. Sauron appearing in his maiar form as Sauron the Deciever before changing back to the form from the prologue. It was right to cut it though. They pasted the big orc/troll over the top of what was sauron for the final scene.

Of course it was right to cut it. He can no longer use that form. After the Fall of Numenor he "...was robbed now of that shape in which he had wrought so great an evil, so that he could never again appear fair to the eyes of Men..."

Don't bother, ich. He buggered off. Wimp.

And from what I saw, we don't so much see his form--as in physical-- as we see an image of him. Kinda like seeing a ghost and then it morphs into his "old" armour.

Unicorn said:

Yes, but somewhere I heard that it was Legolas seeing the fair form, so technically it wouldn't be "in the eyes of Men".

Nevertheless, is it really changing form? And does Tolkien specify between physical and "spirit" form? If he were just projecting an image of his old self in front of his amour self, then dissolving the image, it's not really changing form.

Durbatuluk said:

And I think even just projecting the image would not be possible. After all what would prevent him from projecting the image while remaining noncorporeal? Wouldn't that decieve men just as well?

Not if it looked like a ghost, which is want the storyboard seemed to suggest.

Okay first off it's "heresy" not "heracy". As in "It is heresy to dispute what Durb says."

Unicorn said:

No, Aragorn didn't see Sauron, he heard him calling his name.

As for "weed", Tolkien never said it was marajuana or not but given his background, it's unlikely it was. Most back then were pipe and cigar smokers, so it's most likely regular tobacco. Why he called it weed, I couldn't say.
