Ok Playing it now....

Spill MORE beans! Does PJ think viewers will identify more with a 'weak' Aragorn?
(BTW, are you the Asian film fan? and if so, do you know who Fay Wong is? and if so, don't you think she would have made a perfect elf since she LOOKS like an elf in real life?! But that is neither here nor there...just curious)

Oh know! Wasn't shipped UPS... was shipped regular mail. Smeagol not get today. Smeagol won't get until Thursday or Friday. Sigh! Tear slips down Smeagol's cheek. Oh, well... Smeagol has government paper to write, speech to work on, essay to write. Smeagol got no time to watch movies about silly hobbits stealing my precious.

You will find that most of the whistle players on Chiff and Fipple are disdainful of the recorder...but if you ask a few more questions you'll find that nearly every one of them play them anyway.
It's just kind of a joke...maybe not even a good one.

Actually, I think that's an okay plot trick... will give the character room to grow and mature and make his transformation pay off more in the end. Need that tension! Need that conflict and turmoil!

will give the character room to grow and mature Mature? The man is 87! If he hasn't matured by now.... Aragorn, grow up!

"will give the character room to grow and mature"
I suspected maybe a more confused Aragorn would justify a bigger role for Arwen.

******Extended Version Spoiler******
It takes about an hour (56 minutes give or take) to get to Bree. I'm not sure how long it took before, I didn't bother to pop in the other DVD and check.
There's a scene where the Fellowship is loading up the canoes and getting ready to depart from Lothlorien. Merry and Pippin are sitting on the bank munching away. Legolas throws a few bundles in one of the canoes and takes something from one of the bundles. He holds up this square wafer of bread-like stuff.
He takes a tiny bite, smiles, looks at Merry & Pippin and says, "Aahh! Lembas! Waybread of the Elves. One small bite is enough to fill a strong man for a whole day."
Merry & Pippin smile and nod at Legolas. He leaves and Merry turns to Pippin and says, "So how many did you eat?"
"Four", says Pippin.
Merry nods his head in agreement.
That scene had me in stitches. ;^)

Fay Wong's name sounds familiar. What movies has she been in?

I suspected maybe a more confused Aragorn would justify a bigger role for ArwenThat's what I think too. I think they're pushing her role as the supportive, stand-by-your-man type woman.
What kills me is the rumor that she HELPS him use the Palantir to stare down Sauron. If that's true...that's totally uncalled for.

You know... don't wander over there. I've been over there a little bit, but not much. And there are certain things I simply refuse to discuss with them.
To: ksen
ROFLOL!!! I can't wait!
To: ksen
Fay is a singer but has been in "Okinawa Rendezvous" and "Chungking Express". She's even got pointy ears!

Both Arwen and Eowyn were strong women but they didn't 'take over' the books. Guess it's more PC to have them loom larger.

The one thing I didn’t like was how PJ made Aragorn question his destiny even more. Now if we could only get him to question his hygiene...

Well... we know that he's 87... And there is maturity and then there's the maturity of office/of duty/etc.
