To be fair, Bilbo was pretty much given permission by Gandalf to Elf-flix and chill. "But one beyond your strength, Bilbo. You cannot take this thing back. It has passed on. If you need my advice any longer, I should say that your part is ended, unless as a recorder."

Sam was CERTAINLY better prepared for the journey than Frodo was, and I am glad he was. It is true that Frodo could never have done it alone. And this meme sort of thing is hilarious!

Grump attack!
Seriously? We all know who was responsible for the tear-your-hair-out stuff in the film trilogy: the scriptwriters, which happened to include the director. Does anyone believe Noble came to PJ and told him "I have an idea how to make that Denethor-and-Pippin scene really disgusting"?
The director of "Bad Taste", "Meet the Feebles" and "Braindead" needed no private tutoring in things disgusting! 😈

That always was a disturbing scene- I am pretty sure for EVERYONE.
Who eats tomatoes like that? I don't think anyone liked it. I suppose a public apology would certainly be in order... 🤣

Hey, it's YouTube-- you know these things are inevitable.

No, I don't know - unless prompted to do so here on TTF, I rarely visit YouTube ...

Disappointing that they couldn't include a Z, when it clearly stands for Zirak-zigil

That is so true. I thought the exact same thing... In contrast to most "movie alphabets" LOTR has every single letter.
