Comment on in the return of the king movie, when Pippin looks in the palantir, why does gandalf ask him if it was minas tirith that he saw?

I didn’t see the movie but semi remember that scene from the book. Pippin saw Sauron, and seeing Minas Tirith would have revealed Sauron’s location, always good intellligence. I don’t remember what Pippin reported about it though.

The book is a momumental classic. I saw the first of the three LOTR movies and thought it was ok considering what it was trying to do. It could have been lots worse. But still, I didn’t feel particularly interested in seeing the other two movies. Maybe I’ll re-read the books sometime. It’s been ages. These days, lots of fanfics are longer than the LOTR books, since they no longer have the limitations of printing on paper.
