| The most annoying thing for me is: Arwen
The absoulute worst thing is putting Liv Tyler's name 3rd, yes 3rd! on the credits. In Fellowhip, OK, so she actually did something of value in Fellowship (would have rather it been Glorfindel though) but she was only in like two scenes and yet they put her BEFORE Viggo Mortensen, the other three hobbits and all the others. Is it just because Liv Tyler's more famous than most of the others? Someone said to me 'Liv Tyler's a cracking actress, just not in Lord of the Rings because Arwen's story was absoulute (I think I'm spelling that wrong) rubbish.' I couldn't have put it better myself! She's not even in The Two Towers book yet there she is with her name 3rd on the credits and a huge picture on the DVD box cover. What is the world coming to?
I'm gonna continue my anger over Arwen, if you're still awake. Return of the King. There she is on the DVD box with a bigger picture than Sam. Where is Merry and Pippin and especially Eowyn? Eowyn is the biggest and best female character in LotR, and in any of Tolkien's books (except Luthien of course!) She is practically the hero of the Battle of the Pelennor Fields and yet she isn't on the box. She even comes after Cate Blanchett in the credits, who is nearly (though not quite) as bad as Arwen with her extra scenes where she shouldn't be but let's not go in to that. All Arwen does in RotK is cry and look ill. AND, a source informed me, it was for Arwen's story that both Saruman's scenes and the Houses of Healing got omitted. I don't know if it's true though. The Faramir and Eowyn story which takes place in the Houses of Healing was one of my favourite parts from the whole book. As you can probably tell I was, and am, pretty annoyed. There were some critics on TV who I agreed with: 'Arwen is only there because they wanted a pretty face.' Once again I couldn't have put it better myself. My order of importance goes like this:
Frodo, Gandalf, Aragorn, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Gimli, Legolas, Gollum, Eowyn, Theoden, Faramir, Eomer, Boromir, Saruman, Denethor, Wormtongue, Elrond, Galadriel, Sauron, Haldir, Gamling, Beregond, Shadowfax, Brego, Theodred, Arod, Hasufel, Eothain, er...Celeborn, Figwit, Glorfindel, Bergil, Imrahil, erm...that deer that Aragorn kills in Fellowship EE, I can't think of anyone else so I guess Arwen's next. OK, so maybe I'm exaggerating Arwen's uselessness, she's more important than the deer...just.
Well, if you've managed to sit through all my moaning (and if you have i congratulate you) then I have some questions. I know I'm the web-person-thing and I should be answering questions but oh well.
1. Is the story of Aragorn and Arwen (an appendix in the book) going to be in the EE of RotK? I ask this because when I was looking through the Art of The Return of the King book, it had Arwen's dying dress in it. I actually like that story. OMG!! I like something about Arwen, it's a miracle!!! I also like her dresses. OMG!!! More compliments!!!
2. Is Prince Imrahil going to be in the RotK EE?
3. Are there going to be cut scenes from LotR? It would be funny to see people messing up their lines.
4. Is there going to be the alternative endings? I heard there were some from my source but I don't know how reliable he/she is.
If you would like so answer any of my questions or submit you own view, maybe if you're a fan or Arwen, e-mail me on the address on the Home page. Thanks!
