I’ve seen LOTR two times now. I’ve noticed something that seems rather odd… You all know the scene when the fellowship (or parts of it) meets Arwen for the first time, right? Frodo is sick and they talk for a while, then Arwen takes of with Frodo.
During the conversation they speak Elvish but one of the last things Aragorn says to Arwen sounds a lot like some Nordic language (I’m guessing Danish, Viggos country of origin, I’m from Sweden and Swedish isn’t that far from Danish).
It sounds like he says “Min alskling” which translates into “My Love” or “My Darling”.

TJ writes: The Smithsonian magazine has an article called “Master of Middle Earth” by Alina Corday Taylor. A five page story on Tolkien, his life, work and his Lord of the Rings Trilogy. A great read. Anyone with scans of the article send them along!

I saw the movie at an afternoon showing in the UK today and they very clumsily cut the scene where Aragorn decapitates Lurtz. I had previously seen it in Canada but those with me noticed the cut due to the jar in the music.
To be precise the scene cuts away the second that Aragorn stabs Lurtz in the chest straight to him running up to Boromir.
I don’t know if this was a one off by the cinema or this has happened all across the UK.
