I still missed the palantir resonance with Pippin's experience though, and the image of the two withered hands burning forever in the Palantir of Minas Tirith.

Quote.a mad, raging man who had lost the capacity to reason and therefore had to be dealt with as harshly as was necessary to save others. I needed some reason for him to be as crazy as he was.

Not Enough Denethor! What I mean is that I needed to see a scene with the palantir. I half expected him to pass wind in the middle of Pippin's beautiful song.Granted, these changes made it easier to believe that Gandalf could bludgeon Denethor with his staff in front of the soldiers of Gondor and not only not be challenged, but be obeyed when he barks out an order.All in all, I'd have to agree with Meela (though probably for different reasons). This man 'in whom the blood of Numenor runs nearly true' as Gandalf says, this Steward of Gondor, born and raised with all the courtesy befitting a high office in the most prominent kingdom of men in all Middle Earth consumed his meal like a trailer-trash drunk at a county fair pie-eating contest. Wasn't the Palantir (or rather Sauron's control of it) the source of his madness, his despair? So, where was it? Without it, he's just another mean, crazy old man.Then there is also the eating scene. The most notable problem, I think, is the complete lack of the Palantir.
