But if you lay waste to everything, who's going to clean it up?

I had the lovely experience of being able to share Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy with my son last week. I hadn't watched any of the movies since The Return of the King came out in 2003 (It's been ten years? Really? Wow), so I had almost as much fun as the Jav reacquainting myself with the story and the beautiful actors production design.

But--and there always is one--watching the movies reminded me of some of the things that had confused me the first time.
