@TheBumbleBunny I wrote RIP because I thought he was dead, and when I was informed I was wrong I did make a point of saying that I felt stupid for being tricked like that.
I think Ian is being sarcastic, when he points out that they're wasting their arrows aiming at the towers, he probably thinks to himself: "And Peter wrote this crap? I should just go back doing Shakespeare..."
What I would give to have a machine to switch my brain out with one of the guys on these sets fifteen years ago. LotR is inspiring me to perhaps become part of the film business, but I get the impression this kind of ... niceness between everyone is the rare exception.

@wjlasloThe2nd It is. PJ got away with a lot for playing on his own NZ turf, it was all like a family business or cottage industry. They managed to trump Hollywood in some aspects, but it's rare. Watch the Orange Film Board ads! lol.
Really. Imagine him saying it like 0:55 in the movie. Everyones screaming and the battle is raging all around, and Gandalf comes out all mellow.
"Hey guys. Guys. Come on listen for a sec, ok? Like...you should aim at the trolls mmkay? Yea. You're...ummm....you're wasting your arrows. Hey. You're listening right? Yea you can't fight the towers. Seriously guise....ok... I'm gonna walk over here I think. Later."
@billyboyjennings But Gandalf did that sort of thing ALL the time! Lol. Read the Hobbit. I'm like "What THE???" Still, he's a much better powerful character than Vivienne from "Mists of Avalon", whose writers clearly didn't think about the problem of free will like Tolkien did.
If I had never seen the movies and had no idea who Ian was I'd be convinced he was a mentalist after watching this. "Stand to your terror!! NO!! (laughs manically) Stand to your posts! Oh dear, oh dear..."
And who is the guy who laughs like a monkey in the very last second?? !!
