Have the characters once per movie say "lembas bread", then just "lembas". He must think movie goers are realllly slow and have to be constantly reminded what it is, as well as reminded that elves have good eyesight.

Legolas' line about the diversion cracks me up every time. After he said that, my girlfriend just looked at me with a, "No crap.
 " look on her face. Hello, it's Mr. State-the-Obvious man. Or maybe he's a little slow on the uptake.

"The sky is veiled." geez. can we get any more prosaic? Yeah, Legolas got stuck with all the cheesy lines. When we remake it, make sure Dunedain gets them. Hail the King of Cheese!
"A diversion" No freakin' way! Really? Thanks a bundle Captain Obvious! Okay, but I do like what Orlando said about his character: "Everyone else is always talking and I'm just a minor character. So while they're having their discussions, I'm just the guy in the back, going, 'I'm sensing something.'" LOL. Yeah, maybe he should have said that. And then waved his hand about, convincing people to follow his ideas, and then mind-melded somebody. Geez. Why didn't they just call him Legolas the Vulcan Jedi?

Another line that always makes me cringe is from TT when Gollum leads Sam and Frodo into the marshes. There they all are, standing at the edge of what is obviously a huge swamp, they are surrounded by swamp, there is swamp as far as the eye can see, in fact Sam has just put his foot in the swamp…
Sam: “Oh, it’s a bog. He’s led us into a swamp”. Cut to huge shot of swamp! Thank you Sam. Say what you see. |

But it lead to the funniest lines in the Pants game - Gondor has no pants, Gondor needs no pants!

I thought that scene was fine, except they should have left the line as "No man am I" and kept the proper timing. Also, not explaining Merry's sword really damaged that scene IMO.

Since we're talking about the obvious, when Gollum is talking to himself while looking into the running water, he says something about killing the hobbits and then mentions he's done it before. Then it cuts to the scene of Smeagol and Deagol at the beginning. I think we can remember that scene -- we're not that stupid. Spoon feeding us again, aren't you, PJ?
Okay, now to worst quotes: Let's hunt some orc -- Aragorn, FOTR The stars are veiled. -- Legolas, ROTK Go home -- Frodo to Sam, ROTK. Yeah, I still think that change is horrible.

In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.' 'Then Tuor arrayed himself in the hauberk, and set the helm upon his head, and he girt himself with the sword; black were sheath and belt with clasps of silver. Thus armed he went forth from Turgon's hall, and stood upon the high terraces of Taras in the red light of the sun. None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin "Oh.

LOL! Yeah, "let's hunt some orc" really cheapened the Three Hunters noble and desparate attempt to rescue their friends.
Don't worry Orion, that line is from your nightmares. Nightmares about what the "Flight to the Ford" scene was subversively saying.

Something like, oh, let me think...I know! How about if Aragorn says: "With hope or without hope we will follow the trail of our enemies. And woe to them, if we prove the swifter! We will make such a chase as shall be accounted a marvel among the Three Kindreds: Elves, Dwarves, and Men. Forth the Three Hunters!" Oh wait, that's already in the book!
