One goof in an otherwise spectacular movie
Besides the conflict with Sauron having died for 500 years as per start of first movie vs several thousand years ago as per Elrond in 2nd movie, I found it odd that in Fellowship of the Ring they said "on this day October the 24th...." at Rivendell
October is based on something else and completely unknown to these guys. I thought they should have had their own calendar system.
