Sorta makes that whole "If you want him, come and claim him" bit seem silly, doesn't it?

Yes it does! I wish the movie hadn't changed that, especially since they didn't do the barrow downs part. The movie audience never got to see much of Frodo being "made of sterner stuff."

I completely agree with you! (For once). Frodo is far more courageous than the movie showed him; actually you might think, from the film, that he only grows a spine at the very end... ok, that's a little too harsh, but you know what I'm saying!
