yeah, sorry about the threadjacking, juju. but really, its your fault. you didnt have to mention that you saw the two towers.
i do think arnold is something of a joke nowadays. i think it started when he did 'twins'. i havent seen the trailer for t3, but i assume he says the line quite seriously. its one thing to poke fun at yourself. its quite another to not realize youre doing it.
back to the two towers. riddil, i agree that its best enjoyed as separate from the books, but i really cant get over assigning the clown role to gimli. i did get a chuckle when he said something like 'we dwarves are natural sprinters. quite dangerous at a short distance'. i always identified with gimli. he wasnt the fastest and he never had much finesse, but he was a fucking brute. and they dont get that across very well in the movie.
