the 'copyrighted' that was still there on the close up of Saruman- AHAHAHAHAHAHA.
I had to add the copyright watermarks last minute, so that's why in some spots it still lingers lol my bad!



~~~Further thoughts because apparently more than an hour wasn't enough~~~~~

- I didn't give Legolas' hair any praise in this video and that is a tragedy. Ugh, may my beard grow ever thin. His hair is wonderful.
- I am so irritated I forgot to mention this in the video because I really wanted to discuss it. For casting- The hobbits, particularly Sam, actually had a different look than I pictured. I distinctly remember Sam being described as having 'brown hands' several times. And not in a 'his hands were dirty' way, but that he literally had brown skin (like once when he had his hand I think on Frodo's forehead and there was the contrast of his brown hand and Frodo's fair skin). I was picturing a tan hobbit for sure (and even 2 pages into The Hobbit it describes the Hobbit folk as having brown fingers) since he gardens. For others that read the books- did you picture them like in the movie or no?
- I'm not really understanding why there isn't a Lord of the Rings theme park/land somewhere
