If they don't have the Houses of Healing, how are they going to do Eowyn meeting Faramir?
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".
Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think that site is an official or complete guide -- I recognize bits of stuff from specials, and they don't go any further than the special (like the Legolas/Gimli drinking game) although it's apparent there's further relevant footage.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
RE the Houses of Healing: There was a shot in there that was clearly Aragorn healing Faramir.

Yes, that Swiss site did mention the Houses of Healing (just not in very great detail). Something about Aragorn finding that he can heal Merry, Pippin, Eowyn and Faramir and that E and F get to know each other a little better.

Jess, I keep having "It's Lothlorien that did it to him. Before they get there, he's speaking in complete sentences that say things other than statements of the complete obvious." go through my head at the odest times. Thank you so much for that.
The other Legolas milestone is outside the Black Gates. From the first shot there on he's hysterically beautiful. Just odd.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
You're welcome, I think.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
The extended version of the film - which will be considerably longer than the three hours and 21 minutes in the theatrical version - will make the trio of extended versions more than 11 hours long.
