Random FotR nitpick

[kaydeefalls]

I was thinking about LotR (big surprise), and this occurred to me for some reason. From the movie:

Sam in field: "If I take one more step, it will be the farthest from home I've ever been."
....The next hobbit scene, wherein Merry & Pippin knock Frodo & Sam over:
Sam in cornfield: "You've been into Farmer Maggot's crop!"

Hold on a second, there! Sam is now some distance farther from home than he's ever been. How does he know that this is Farmer Maggot's field? How does he even know who Farmer Maggot IS? He's NEVER BEEN HERE BEFORE.

The problem with adapting from book to movie...

And now for something completely different: hello, lush_rimbaud! Nice to have a RL friend on here.

Must get back to the Fic From Hell (TM) now....
