Re: Welcome to LOTR General Discussions

no, but I put "The Road Goes Ever on" and "All that is Gold Does Not Glitter" to music long ago when I was a guitar-playing teenager. Really bad music. And I can never think or read those poems without hearing the music!

I usually go straight from A Long Awaited Party straight to At the Sign of the Prancing Party. Hey, I've read the whole saga 30 times or something, so it's not like I'm missing anything.

The only problem with leaving that part out in the movie is that the chapter about the Barrow Downs has important back story information and foreshadowing. For example, the point (!pun alert!) about Pippin's sword piercing the flesh of the Nazgul King because it came from a barrow of one of the men of the west was missed.
