AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around John Noble's portrayal of Denethor in "The Lord of the Rings" and the mixed reactions to his character. While some express a lack of sympathy for Noble, noting his limited filmography, others reflect on the significance of Denethor's character, particularly in relation to Boromir's reference to him as a noble man. The conversation also touches on Omar Sharif's behavior, with disappointment expressed regarding his actions, contrasting them with the noble image of Denethor as depicted in the films. The discussion highlights the complexity of character portrayals and the emotional responses they evoke in audiences.

Not only Gandalf loses his patience with this obnoxious fellow; Dr Zhivago became equally irate (or at least, Peter O'Toole did)

If I remember right, Denethor is the guy who took the firey plunge off the prow of the White City? Great scene!
 
That's him all right.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
