The first film really didn't bother me nearly as much - most of the added storyline was actually take from Tolkien's work, other than the "Pale Orc" plotline. But the second film . . . good grief!!!

O-kay...haven't missed anything. Sad to say it, but there it be, lurking by the dark waters below the mountains, grabbing any literary fish that swims too close.

"Of course we can talk about honor, truth, all these things. These esoteric terms. But I think they'd all be covered very well If what we really observed was what we observed. That we took care to observe what we were observing. That we always observed to observe."

"Wouldn't it be terrible if you'd spent your whole life doing everything you were supposed to do, didn't drink, didn't smoke, didn't eat things, took lots of exercise, all the things you didn't want to do, and suddenly one day you were run over by a big red bus, and as the wheels were crunching into you you'd say, 'Oh my God, I could have got so drunk last night!' That's the way you should live your life, as if tomorrow you'll be run over by a big red bus."

---Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother
