Please... ask your questions! Questions are a good way to get discussions going and you might hit on something we hadn't thought of before.
Here is a question from another lurker. Why the rain in the movie pictures? The book describes clear starry skies then mentions mud on Srtider's boots. Directors discretion?
I would have to say Director's Discretion (is there anyone out there with a "scenes behind the movie" book who can answer?) I think all the rain made Bree look gloomy and forbidding to go along with The Prancing Pony's more menacing "movie mood". (aliteration, anyone?)
