    Boramirs Horn is not loud enough, listen to it next time you watch the movie. It's supposed to be a loud rallying cry to all the fellowship, but it's more like a bad VW horn. Anyhow, the rest of the movie rocks.

    Okay, my next gaff is with the popular comic "Fox Trot" which is trying *way* to hard in my opinion to win the geek vote. Half assed linux jokes, gandalf jokes, it's just such an elementary understanding of geek humor. It's really disturbing... you can read them at Yahoo, they are really poor.
