AICN has a funny report on the reshoots taking place on Lord Of The Rings:

Some of my lowly Kiwi spies have informed me that Viggo Mortensen made up in Aragorn's scruffy unkept beard filmed a scene a few days ago with Hugo/Elrond aka Mr. Smith for THE RETURN OF THE KING. It was a scene where Elrond comes into Aragorn's tent wearing a hooded cape that kept his face hidden in darkness. Jackson shot the scene a dozen times at least. In this scene Hugo slowly and with a certain amount of drama removes the hood from his face to seriously talk with Viggo. Due to various reasons Hugo kept blowing his lines, so Peter shot it over and over. Finally the Director called for the insurance, or Champagne shot, and they ran thru it all for one final take with Elrond stepping into the scene face hidden from the view of all in attendance, buuuuuut this time when he slowly exposes his face he had on a pair of his patented "Mr. Smith" sunglasses and says something along the line of, "Join with the MATRIX, Mr. Aragorn" in his best deadpan delivery. Mr. Jackson then called for the scene wrap.

Da se Dz.R.R. Tolkin vrati na ovaj svet i vidi sta je stvorio, raspomamljene horde vestaca, raju siljatih usiju i sijaset Mracnih gospodara sa snizenja koji nastanjuju degutantni izdavacki polusvet, svi kao iz kataloga Robne kuce Vilengrad, u pozajmljenim avanturama koje tove tanke zaplete u debeljuskaste dzepnjake napadno filovane zmajevima i cija tezina daleko nadmasuje vrednost reci koje sadrze, siguran sam da bi stari oksfordski don tuzno zavrteo glavom, sakupio osam pratilaca i posao na putovanje kroz armiju glavatih, bubuljicavih strebera, smezuranih poterista i zlih trgovaca koji njima gospodare, da bi na kraju, krvav i iscrpljen, sa pratnjom u ritama, stigao do Planine Usuda, gde bi bacio originalan rukopis Gospodara prstenova u vatru, okoncavsi tako razdoblje Vecnog Djubreta
