Which Annoying Two Towers Character are You?
By Lisa

...and then she asks, "Did they change anything from the books?" And I said "Not the first one so much, except instead of Arwen saving Frodo it's this Elf guy called Glorfindel but it's okay 'cause otherwise when she shows up at the end of the third movie to marry Aragorn everybody'd be all, 'Who the hell is she?' But in the second book..." Yadda yadda yadda.

well i think i can get passed those things :) myself i love the movies for their great representation of middle earth in the visual sense. i am, however, uncertain if the screen play writer understood the archetypal importance of certain charachters/actions/events. that and never trust hollywood to do well at adding romance (arwen/aragorn) where it wasnt before. starwars episodeII case in point. blech.
thanks for the info
:)

Episode II is perhaps a bad example, since it is the source material for...itself. Nothing to blame there but its creator's giant boneless ham hands.

lol right you are :) its just hard to remember its the same guy who did the first three (the middle three)
i try not to expect a pure telling from the movie. but i think some changes dont make a better movie or shorten things, they simply show a lack of sensitivity (ie: big clumsy ham hands handling delicate crystal goblets) :)
