Begone and trouble me no more!

Another scene I really wish they'd included in the live action Return of The King.  It's one of the most iconic moments in the books, where Gollum attacks the hobbits on the slopes of Mount Doom, and for the first time since the beginning of his journey, as he's almost made it, for just a moment, Frodo taps into the true power of the ring. See, this is why everyone wants it so much. It gives you power, charisma, this supernatural authority that makes others grovel and want to follow you to their deaths. It makes you seem big and scary and unstoppable, no matter who you are. You could use it to win over entire armies to your side if you wanted. And Frodo, all raw skin and bones by this point, uses it to scare Gollum away. And it works! For a time, anyway. The lil' stinker still comes after them again, later.

This is one of my favorite moments in the series. Even the cartoon version from the 80s had it. Why Peter Jackson left out such a powerful moment, I'll never know.

That's it for today.
