Lord of the Rings came n the tv today, and I was watching the end of the whole thing. The last battle is going on everywhere, the nazgul are attacking, and then out of (presumably) the east come these eagles to save the day.. the swoop down.. and all I can think in the middle of all this is
Diiiiive!!

And then the hobbits were climbing up the mountain, and getting into the villain's volcano. And there's this gorgeous bridge there built to stretch out over the lava.. the hobbits are exhausted, one can't even crawl, the other carrying him. And this is The volcano, the only weakness of the villain, in the villain's backyard.. I know its a dramatic scene but the only thought running through my mind, over and over again, is 'why did he not at least build a door?' I mean really, this is The only weakness. He knows the hobbits are coming. There is a giant bridge there so this is not a 'secret backdoor entrance'. This is in fact the same bridge the heroes used last time when they stopped short. So come on, is the villain on a budget? Can't afford to kidnap a carpenter and a locksmith? Or a door-orc? Some police-tape saying 'don't cross here'? That's all it would have taken to stop the hobbits and all those troublesome heroes, just build a freaking door! Erg... I hate stupid villains.
