The broken horn of gondor? [spoilers]
So, i'm getting ready to see RotK on wednesday and decided to watch the first 2 tonight back to back. Anyway, I noticed at the end of FotR, when boromir gets hit with the 3rd arrow, his horn is like split in half, and the 2 halves are just dangling there like the prop was broken or something. Was that a movie mistake, or was it supposed to be broken by that last arrow or something? I don't remember that happening in the book and I never saw the full version, so did anyone else notice that? Was it supposed to be like that?

oh ok.. makes more sense now, I was thinking they broke the prop or something and tried to sneak it in there anyway because it was like the only good shot they had or whatever. 
The cloven Horn of Gondor and much besides.

There are a lot of things that need to be seen in the extended cut of TTT to have the theatrical cut of ROTK make perfect sense, IMO...

It's like the two MATRIX sequels... Man, it sure helped to have seen the ANIMATRIX and played the video game to understand what was going on.
To get the full LOTR trilogy rubdown, you need to see those extended cuts.

I personally feel it's a travesty to see any move adaptation without reading the source material beforehand.
