Hi Hmpf! Looks like I will have to get a Livejournal account if I want to turn up as anything but "Anonymous". Just want to say, the "all about hmpf" section doesn't seem to be working too well for me - clicking on the pictures at the bottom of the screen gives me errors saying it can't find things. Saw your reaction to TTT. Gotta agree with a lot there, and you mentioned things I didn't notice - "Spotlights at Helm's Deep" for Theodoen putting on his armour. Hee hee. And Merry and Pippin on Treebeard - some distance shots were definitely CG Merry and Pippin. But Gollum made up for that. The bit where Arwen appears to be leaving Middle Earth though - well, I think that is another PJ feint. (A bit like pretending the hobbits were sleeping in the beds in Bree) - did you notice the look on Elrond's face as she left? It was most definitely NOT HAPPY. He should be looking relieved if she were going to the havens. We didn't see her take the sword, (TTT extended version?) but Aragorn has to get his sword at some point. So I think the "going away" scene was Elrond looking cranky/upset as his daughter (protected by a bunch of Elves, no way she would be allowed to galavant off on her own) is heading off to give Aragorn his sword, not to the havens. But PJ wants to surprise the audience whenever possible.
BTW, the scene where Arwen and the elves leave Rivendell, walking over the bridge - that looked straight out of the final scene of Disney's Fantasia (the orginal one of course, an absolutely brillant piece of art). I was expecting Schubert's Ave Maria to start up. I also loved the "Olympic Torch Orc" Enough waffling.
