Just curious about the Aragon shot. It's the most important "character presentation" (next to the Gandalf hat reveal) in the movie and in some theatres the picture is so dark you can't see Viggo sitting, hooded and smoking his pipe in the corner.

Theatre owners drive me crazy in their attempt to save money by cutting down on the lumin light that projects the picture on-screen. Sometimes you can't even see a movie completely till it comes out on VHS or DVD.

Sorry, just a technical obsession of mine.

Ahhhh... that! Yeah, it was lit properly :-)

Well, it's been 24 hours since we saw it for the 2nd time, and it's still effecting me. There's two people I want to see win Best Actor come March: either Ian McKellan or Christopher Lee... Lee's Saruman is INTENSE!! For a year I've been hankering to see him play Count Dooku in "Star Wars Episode II", but I can't see him topping that, not after his Saruman.
