That's a GREAT trailer. If you don't get excited by that you're stone cold.

Someone posed an interesting question on another site and I was wondering if anyone had the answer.

Spoilers, naturally:

At the end or ROTK, Aragorn becomes King of Gondor, but what of Rohan? I'm sure some appendix in the books cleared this up, but I haven't read them in over a decade. Does Eomer become king? Does Eowyn still retain possession of the kingdom since Theoden told her to rule? Do Eowyn and Foromir hook up and become King and Queen of Rohan (she looked happy with him)?

Or does the kingdom of Rohan sail off while the peoples of Gondor weep like little bitches?

Im not a big fan of the trilogy and the mythology, just not my type. But I saw Return of the Kings, and visually it is amazing.

My favorite part of the entire film....

When the wacky king sends his son and the soldiers on horseback into a hail of arrow fire. All the while, merry or pippin, whichever one it was, is singing in the background. AND at the same time, the king is seen eating the meat, crunching into the flesh, and blood from the meat dripping down his chin.

Anybody catch the symbolism in this scene? Genius, because the flesh being eaten and chewed symbolizes the carnage that is happening on the battlefield, (which we never see). Also it helps keep this film a PG-13 movie heh..

I finally saw this. I enjoyed it much more than Two Towers, but I might ilke Fellowship better.

I certainly didn't hold the film in such high regard as some here do but It would make my top 10 (not top 5) for the year. It had it's moments but I didn't really feel as moved during it as I have in other films this year. I wouldn't be upset if it won Best Picture, but it wouldn't be my pick.
