It wouldn't surprise me at all if they tidied it up for the EE DVD release.
It's the same as the theatrical. We went back and ran it right away. It might be a screen size thing, or a getting acclimatised thing, I suppose.
Hey, evil dead, you're in my seat.

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".
A discussion of Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. If you're a pervy hobbit fancier, this is the place for you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Funny, the horse mounting scene throws me off way more than the Oliphaunt scene, because he goes up the horse on the wrong side and his wrist is all catty-whoumpus! The Oliphaunt scene, like Jess said, is fake fake fake, but still really exciting. The horse scene they TOTALLY could have done for real with a crane and stuff.

Ohhh - help!
Non-Tolkein friend just asked me who the guys on the elephants were (like their actual name - not just - "bad guys" which is what I said at first) and I can't remember...anybody?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

As I recall, Orlando was injured on that day and couldn't mount the horse properly so they did a little CGI pickup and made it more spectacular.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
It's the same as the theatrical.
In that case, it's probably a resolution thing. Or they cleaned it up on both DVD releases.
Image quality aside, I still can't figure out how he grabs the reins with the back of his hand. Elves must be massively double-jointed.

Injury, scmingury. He is the Jackie Chan of the Elves. He wouldda done it had they asked.

Well, he re-evaluated his relationship to his wellbeing, so maybe not.

Having never broken a bone, much less my back, I think me and my wellbeing are getting along pretty well.
