Happy birthday for later in the week! I hope your film choice is a good one.
Ah, Elrond of Rivendell has called a meeting...
I find that the suckiness of that line depends on how you imagine its backstory whilst watching. Having a mental picture of Elrond sending out invitations to his secret council meeting is definitely sucky. But then I got the idea of Denethor having Seen what was going on chez Elrond. The line's much palatable that way (despite the power of Vilya probably making it impossible!) :)
