: I know the costume is all wrong and I know it is historically incorrect (given the Medieval tone of the film). But... last night I saw the Sleepy Hollow movie and the I feel Burton's Headless Horseman conveys the atmosphere that I believe the Ringwraiths should have before the battle at the Fords of Bruinen. On a similar note, I think Christopher Watkin would make a perfect Angmar (if, that is, Angmar had a face).: Input?
: Cheers
: Berembrôg : PS. I am NOT saying that Jackson's Medievalist approach is correct - I am merely repeating what I have read on this Board. Slight correction; Angmar means "Iron Home", not the man/wraith. He was known as "The Witch King", sorry, but it is just that I get fed up and annoyed at Fonstad's >insert favorite swearwords< theories, they do not hold water and she knows next to nothing of military matters (IMO only surpassed by her lack of knowledge on Tolkien- can we all say "Moneymaker"). Though her maps are pretty, I would/will/do not put any trust in any other information she can supply, though I may check her "Distances Travelled" chart for disrepancies and use that.
