You know you have seen Lord of the Rings waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many times when....

Spent the weekend happily watching the documentaries n' other neat stuff on the two LOTR Extended Editions.

Yes, I am a film geek. And hey, I took film courses in college. While I can't handle a camera to save my life, I did spent many happy months watching some of the best damn films ever made.

Of which "Sunset Boulevard" remains one of my utter faves.

Anyway. Watched ROTK (again?!) and realized something.

Remember that scene where Faramir and his men are going down the streets of Gondor and the women and children are bidding the soldiers farewell, some of them even strewing flowers on the path?

There's a shot there of an old woman who I am prepared to swear I saw in Rohan during the Helm's Deep battle scene.

There's also a shot of this cute widdle girl with really big brown eyes who I am also prepared to swear was one of the children in the storytelling session Bilbo had during his birthday party.

I told this to my boss the Witch King of Angmar and he just about died laughing.

*facepalms* Yes, I have seen the LOTR films waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much now...

That little girl is Peter's daughter. His son is also in both scenes.

*giggle* No wonder! But she was a cute widdle thing.

Also found in the scene at Helm's Deep where the women and children were down in the caves. They were the cute Rohan refuges.

I take it you saw Peter Jackson himself when he appeared in the movies? Though I can't remember where he was in the 3rd one now...

Isn't he the main evil guy on the boats swinging the sword while giving orders? It's in one of the flashes to the harbor before the good guys get there.

oh - and

They were also the cute Hobbit kids in Fellowship who were listening to Bilbo tell his story. That little girl has HUGE brown eyes!

Just thought I'd add that in...

Oh yeah, they re-used the extras hard-core.

Nothing beats playing "spot PJ's kids." Though those big brown eyes make it pretty easy. =)

Yup, yup, you've definitely seen it way too many times! But I want to go again! :-D

I'll have to look for the little girl and the elderly lady. I'm typically oblivious to things like that.
