2025-05-10 20:00:37 +0000 UTCI feel the need to point out that as quickly as the ring seemed to corrupt him in the movie, Smeagol never became truly enslaved by it. Others who had it as long as Smeagol did would have long since become servants of Sauron or be manipulated into bringing the ring to him. Instead Smeagol kept the Ring away from the world for generations.

2025-01-15 18:31:32 +0000 UTCWhen she's talking generally I assume it's to Twitch chat, not Patreon comments, but I understand links on the internet a sketchy at the best of times, which is why I used a watch code instead, since the worst you can get from that is a rickroll.

2025-01-14 03:55:34 +0000 UTCthis kind of thing is part of the good side of having the general trivia section on the left side on prime video stuff, with the trivia thing saying (approximate quote) "Christopher Lee assured Peter Jackson that he knew what a man sounded like when stabbed in the back"

2025-01-02 12:45:53 +0000 UTCAdditional little fact, he ate tomatoes on said plates which definitely caused issues. People used to think tomatoes were poisonous for a long time, because their acid was just enough to dissolve lead from pewter dishware and give diners an extra large dose.

2025-01-02 06:41:55 +0000 UTC21:20 - Okay but now Alicia has to react to the Saruman Trololo version of this scene, it's like ancient meme culture. I don't know if we're allowed to post links, but it is this placed after the usual youtube URL. watch?v=KaqC5FnvAEc

2025-01-01 23:11:29 +0000 UTCOf all the changes from book to screen, that one is undoubtedly the worst. They get split up anyway during the chaos in the tunnel, they didn't have to pull fake drama from nowhere!

2024-12-31 21:01:26 +0000 UTCYeah I can understand cutting content for time, but that is one sequence I cannot comprehend why they left out entirely.
ChaosSepher
2024-12-31 16:04:13 +0000 UTCI largely think the Theatrical release is a more economical, better paced version of the movies. But the scene with Saruman really is indispensable. His absence was very distracting, when I first saw the movie.
Sawnderz
2024-12-31 14:28:48 +0000 UTCthe witch king in the books has no chance against gandalf, especially an upgraded version of him from eru iluvitar. That's maybe the one thing that kills me about any of the movies but I understand the tension and drama peter jackson was using with him.

Mike Green
2024-12-30 22:24:20 +0000 UTCIn the books the Palantiri or "Seeing Stones" are basically one part magical telescope/spy satellite, one part zoom call. They allowed for instant communication between the towers where they were kept during the height of the earlier kingdoms of men, but in the latter age they've mostly been lost and most importantly Sauron has control of one and because of his immense magical power he can look through the one HE has and see anything (and thus influence ANYONE) within view of any of the OTHER Palantiri. This backfires in the books though because they're the only form of instant communication, and so when he sees Pippin staring through Saruman's Palantir, he assumes Saruman captured Pippin and made him look through to torment the hobbit and show him off to Sauron. So he sends out Nazgul to retrieve his prize from Isengard...and in the process is thoroughly distracted from the hobbit he REALLY wants to find, now looking far afield instead of right under his nose in Mordor. Having Pippin get a vision of Minas Tirith works well enough as a way to move things along in the movie while keeping things simpler and more condensed.
Linnaeus
2024-12-30 22:24:16 +0000 UTCLittle fact, Denethor eats on Pewter plates which probably severly contributed to his mental decline.
FellwindXCII
2024-12-30 20:42:53 +0000 UTCSo its pretty funny but of our group of hobbits Sam is the only one who isn't actual family to everyone else Merry and Pippin are Frodos younger cousins and they're also cousins to each other I'm pretty sure they also had a 5th friend who helped them out in leaving the shire that was left out of the films

Levi Price
2024-12-30 19:12:06 +0000 UTCSomeone's probably said it but fun fact, during the scene when Saruman got stabbed peter jackson wrote the he should shriek in pain but Christopher Lee, having fought in WWII had seen men die from being back stabbed and told Jackson that we stabbed in the back men don't yell out but rather the breath leaves them in shock. Needless to say Jackson went with that instead.

2024-12-30 09:21:04 +0000 UTCwhat REALLY fucks me up, is that sam had said before in earnest that he was rationing their food. And then because Frodo asked. Explained it was for the journey home.

2024-12-30 01:28:41 +0000 UTCAragorn is in his eighties. Much of what Gandalf has done in life had already faded from memory before Aragorn's grandfather's grandfather was born. The fact that he calls him "Young Master Gandalf" puts Treebeard's perception of time in an interesting light.

Loken
2024-12-30 00:37:07 +0000 UTCto be fair to Denethor, his family the Stewards of Gondor have been ruling Gondor for nearly 2000 years. So to him whose family has been keeping the realm safe for all that time to hear about what to him might seem like a homeless drifter with no real established background is the true king and he should just give up the reins of power to this drifter would seem kinda absurd.

Jakub Fabian
2024-12-30 00:12:22 +0000 UTCBit about the Palantir the orb Saruman liked to ponder (literally where that meme comes from btw), Pipin screwing around with it and being saved by Aragon is actually a major point in the books. Because Sauron knew the ring was with a hobbit, and what does he see through the Palantir but a hobbit being escorted by the true heir of Gondor. Sauron never in his wildest dreams could ever imagine a man ever letting the ring out of his grasp let alone a future king. So him seeing Pippin through the Palantir laser focused his attention on Pippin and Gondor. Which ironically opened the way more for Frodo and Sam the true bearers.
Random3x
2024-12-29 23:57:02 +0000 UTCHis experience in ww2 was also as part of the SAS, the British unit of airborne commandos, who'd be dropped behind enemy lines for raids on German supply hubs and assassinations of high-ranking officers and the like, before racing back to friendly lines in jeeps before the enemy could regroup to catch them. It's not been disclosed what missions Sir Christopher Lee has partaken in, but undoubtedly he has been in situations where he had to put a knife in some poor bloke's or not-so-poor officer's back

Jacob Vogelsang
2024-12-29 22:43:09 +0000 UTCAccording to an interview with the director, Jackson was blocking a scene in which Wormtongue (Brad Dourif) stabs Saruman (Lee) in the back. Jackson goes into a long explanation about how he wants the Actor Christopher Lee to react and Lee says, "Have you any idea what kind of noise happens when somebody’s stabbed in the back? Because I do.” Lee was a veteran of World War II, then, after the war, he was a spy who hunted naz1s all 9ver the world and then it was knighted as a lord. The man surely stabbed a lot of people like that in his life. Rip sir Christopher Lee
Faroth
2024-12-29 22:36:04 +0000 UTCAfaik the term "Weed" for a certain other thing you smoke specifically comes from Tolkien coming up with the term "Pipe weed" for tobacco for LotR. he didn't want to use Tobacco, since it wouldn't be appropriate for the mythological/Saga inspired Middle-Earth (which is, similar to conan, for example, a "before our time" mythical earth), so he called it "pipe weed". LotR became popular with (ironically, and to Tolkien's bewilderment, since he was a conservative catholic) the anti-establishment, rebellious left, and they then started to use the term for, well, "weed". He specifically calls it "tobacco" twice in the LotR Books.
The Silent One
2024-12-29 22:26:02 +0000 UTCRegarding Theoden's speech to Saruman, where he mentiones the men that got chopped before the doors of the Hornburg... in the novel, he specicially mentions that that's what happened to Hama (the gatekeeper to Meduseld, the Great Hall) who, in the movie, gets killed during the warg attack.
The Silent One
2024-12-29 22:23:19 +0000 UTCEverytime I see Karl Urban in something, I just have this brain tic that hears him talking as Billy Butcher. "Oi, Gandalf. Sarumon done mind controlled me uncle, and tried to nick me kingdom. Now I say, we head down to that tower, and give that **** a right bollocking. You in?" Edit: Uncle, not dad.

2024-12-29 21:47:35 +0000 UTC21:20 it's also poetic that he died by the hands of someone he manipulated and ON THE WHEELS of machinery they taughted as their greatest boon
Silver Blade
2024-12-29 21:36:13 +0000 UTCSoo happy it's back! I have always seen the ring as a great metaphor for addiction. It can destroy relationships, physical heath and mental stability. Pippin wasn't corrupted, he's just being his curious self that can't help it. lol Pipe weed is meant as tobacco as Tolkien was a pipe smoker. You can almost understand Elrond not wanting Arwen staying more when you know that he has lost a lot of people that he cared about in his life. Parents, brother, and his wife left long ago. His sons stay in Rivendell when he leaves.

2024-12-29 19:02:06 +0000 UTCWow young dumb me didn't get the symbolism. Sam points out the statue has a been crowned. And it is a crown of flowers like the ones that are said to bloom when a king is crowned in gondor. And we know aragorn is the next in line
Craig
2024-12-29 19:01:45 +0000 UTCJust to clarify, Gandalf DID die, but he’s what’s known as Maiar. The Maiar are like celestial servants to the Valar, and by extension Eru Illuvatar (God). The Maiar are basically angels. When Gandalf died, he was sent back to Middle Earth to finish his task there, tho this time he went back as the new White Wizard since Saruman technically gave up that title when he chose to ally with Sauron the Deceiver. Eru Illuvatar is God, the Valar are like his children and the Maiar are their servants. Sauron is also of the Maiar and served the Valar known as Aulë the Smith, which is how he came to be so good at crafting and forging rings.
nelson pederson
2024-12-29 18:46:57 +0000 UTCQuick comment early on in the recording: The wizards are 5 angelic spirits that have been hosued in the appearances of old men and sent from the undying lands to middle earth early on in the 3rd age to provide counsel and leadership to the free peoples in their battle against Sauron. Gandalf DID sacrifice himself in movie 1. He died. He was sent back by Eru Iluvatar (God) to continue his mission.
GaimeGuy
2024-12-29 18:45:09 +0000 UTCThe ring is a great allegory for drugs, Andy Circus the actor who played gollum even said that Smegol is like a ring junkie he’d do anything for another hit
Leonheart009
2024-12-29 18:45:05 +0000 UTCEvery time I watch the lighting of the beacons, I wonder what poor soul pissed off Denethor enough to get sent in the middle of nowhere in the EXTREMELY off-chance that the beacon MIGHT have to be lit. Also, Smeagol would be fantastic at Among Us. He won that 50-50 so hard.
Some Guy on the Internet
2024-12-29 18:42:16 +0000 UTCAnd he actually made plans for the defense of Minas Tirith. Having already called the banners and lit the beacons before Gandalf arrived. Only truly breaking, IIRC, when he sees the black ships are on their way. I still remember the moment he cast his robes aside and shows that he is constantly wearing chainmail, and is ready for war. Like, Denethor in the books is a dick, but I get his point of view on the matter of Gandalf and Aragorn, and I think his fall is incredibly tragic, because he is someone who has been fighting this war his entire life, and now stand at the precipice of losing everything.

Crescent Method
2024-12-29 18:38:16 +0000 UTCSo just for reference, Saruman’s death was skipped in the cut version, he and Grima had no screen time in that one and they cut to pippin finding the seeing stone. The extended version is so good it is hard to believe it wasn’t in theaters.

2024-12-29 17:36:53 +0000 UTCCertainly didn't help that Denethor literally went mad from grief over Boromir.
Captain-Kerfuffle
2024-12-29 17:36:11 +0000 UTCHe also had a palantir, like the one Saruman used, and he was using it to "spy" on the enemy, only for the enemy to purposely show him visions of hopelessness and despair, constantly withering his mind down until he broke.
SouthHill
2024-12-29 17:17:29 +0000 UTCThe only consolation I can give in regard to Faramir’s treatment is that the people of Gondor hold him in the highest regard. It’s too bad his father is such a shit he can’t see it.
JRWins
2024-12-29 17:13:04 +0000 UTCFor clarity, whether or not Merry wanted to go, they had no choice. Gandalf needed to get to Minas Tirith ASAP, so they couldn't be slowed.

2024-12-29 17:02:27 +0000 UTCWhen Denethor said "Yes. I wish that." in the theater when this first premiered in 2003, my dad blurted out "What an asshole!" and I was trying so hard not to laugh and heard someone else yell "Yeah!" xD
SNESgirl
2024-12-29 16:39:14 +0000 UTCWhile this is a good explanation for Denethor's madness, there's are other reasons given by the books. Despair and Loss: Denethor faced overwhelming despair as Gondor was besieged by Sauron's forces. He lost his son Boromir, which deeply affected him. His other son, Faramir, was gravely wounded, further compounding his sense of hopelessness. The Palantír: Denethor used a seeing-stone, or Palantír, which allowed him to perceive events in distant lands. However, this also exposed him to Sauron's influence. Sauron manipulated what Denethor saw, leading him to believe that Gondor was doomed. Pride and Isolation: As a proud ruler, Denethor became increasingly isolated, refusing to seek help or listen to counsel. This pride, coupled with his despair, led him to a fatalistic view of the world, causing him to abandon hope in the face of dire circumstances. Fear of Power Loss: Denethor feared losing his power and legacy, especially in light of Aragorn's return and claim to the throne. This fear contributed to his mental decline, as he felt threatened by the possibility of change.

Trevor Appel
2024-12-29 15:46:14 +0000 UTCFun facts! Deagol and Smeagol are cousins. The murder of a cousin is called sobrinicide if it's a maternal cousin (which I believe in this case it was, because the river folk lived in a matriarchy) or patruelicide if it's a paternal cousin.

2024-12-29 14:30:44 +0000 UTCDenethor is one of my favorite characters in the books. There is just so much nuance to him. And while I understand why they had to make some changes to make the story flow and not make it be a 10 hour long movie, I do miss it. Firstly, while he still favors Boromir, he isn´t as insanely hostile to Faramir as he is here. But he also someone who loved his people. Who fought for Gondor with everything he got until he was driven mad with despair and grief.

Alex Welford
2024-12-29 11:18:21 +0000 UTCChristopher Lee, Saruman, was such a real one in his death scene. Peter Jackson, the director, talked about how he was talking to Lee about how he would scream out when he got stabbed in the back. Sir Lee said something like “have you ever seen someone get stabbed in the back? Because I have. You don’t scream, it’s more of a gasp as the air is driven from your lungs” My man fought in the trenches so he had to educate his silly young director.

2024-12-29 11:17:36 +0000 UTCYes, great movie, and btw that anime movie was great aswell, too bad that the marketing was poor, if more people knew it was coming out I feel like it would have better reviews. But it still great movie/anime, with quality comparable to the Hobbit movies.

2024-12-29 11:11:15 +0000 UTCJohn Noble, the guy who played the asshole daddy, is SUCH a good actor. He was absolutely amazing in the TV show Fringe where he had to play both the extremes of morality for good and evil.

2024-12-29 11:10:24 +0000 UTCSo about Hobbits dying, studio wanted one of them, Merry or Pippin, to die to rise the stakes. They didn't see reason for all four Hobbits to survive. Boromir and Faramirs father, Steward guy, in books he used Palandir to see what Sauron was planning for years. He held his mind against Saurons where Saruman succumbed. Yet all these deeds left his mind more broken each time, he might not been front lines but his mind got scarred and became worn out until he is man spending his time in shadows. This is something that i learned recently: Sam is servant of Baggins, a Gardener. It has been so that they have relationship of employer and employee, as well as old caste system. Frodo still has that lingering line of friendship and a master towards Sam during this adventure. Sam serves as a servant and as a friend no matter what!

2024-12-29 11:06:34 +0000 UTC20:25 Originally they were going to have him Scream out as he was stabbed and thrown off the tower, But due to... Certain reasons, The actor playing Saruman questioned them about how much they knew about the sounds people make when stabbed in the back... They decided not to press the issue with the man who'd literally done it before and settled for the choked-gasp and silent fall.

2024-12-29 10:42:49 +0000 UTCThis might be the first time I see the whole movie. I've tried twice. Each time I always did it with a GF and as the movie plays on we end up finding something better to do.. if you catch my meaning.

2024-12-29 10:26:28 +0000 UTCDenethor had a Palantir from which Sauron was slowly corrupting him and driving him mad with visions... Add to that the guild he felt for basically sending Boromir to his death. And Denethors wife's health started to deteriorate after she gave birth to Faramir and she died 5 years after his birth at the young age of 38. She was of Númenórean blood like Aragon so she could have had a long life.

2024-12-29 10:21:11 +0000 UTCFun fact: Peter Jackson actually wanted Saruman to have a dramatic death scream. But Christopher Lee convinced him that this was unrealistic because of his experience as an essentially life James Bond. And another fun fact: Christopher Lee is the only one in the cast of Lord of the Rings who met Tolkin.
