> I think I actually like the movie Boromir a little better in some ways. He was even ruder and more impatient in the book at times!

Yeah, the Jackson version made him better than the book. When I first saw the previous cartoon movie version by he-we-do-not-name (I was warned yesterday, LOL!), they made Boromir pretty unlikeable. Jackson's version brings out his bravery more. *However* I do notice in the book that Boromir helps rescue the hobbits when they're in danger of being buried by snow while crossing the pass at Caradhras, whereas Jackson makes that scene into another example of Boromir being tempted by the Ring.

Well, he does get his moments in the movie, though. Telling Aragorn to "Give them a moment, for pity's sake" after Gandalf falls...and he's the one who cries out "This will be the death of the halflings!" on Caradhras. But he seems to think of them as kids...doesn't really take them seriously.

OK, it's only ten minutes early and everyone else left at least an hour ago...I'm ditchin'!

See ya from home later, maybe!
