Re: CHAT: Best/Worst/Missing Scenes in LotR

Why we're discussing the movie here..I don't know but, while we're at it, I'd like
to point out that neither Arwen nor Elrond are ELVES!!! Am I the only one who's
annoyed by that fact? In the book they're Half-Elves, descended from Earendil
and Elwing! In the movie it looks like we have no clear familly relationship
between Arwen and Aragorn, which is present at least in some form in The Lord
Of the Rings.
