Basically, my central argument is against those people who adamantly believe that sexual desire was something completely absent from the works of Tolkien. Granted, it was definitely on the smallest scale imaginable, but it was there. It was also, to a greater extent, present in The Silmarillion, but I will write on that later.

Point made. Also, contrary to popular opinion, there is described nudity in tolkien's writing. My problem with the movie is that they seem to advertise Eowyn, Aragorn, and Arwen together far more than they do Frodo's long and hard journey. This whole love/ and or attraction thing is merely a small part of the larger picture. I'd rather see Eomer get his part in the fighting than see a 15 minute scene of romance and relationship junk. Being a boy, I do find all of it very boring. I could care less if Arwen or Eowyn gets chosen by Aragorn. I had a big arguement with another girl about this; she said that only good part of lord the rings with Aragorn in it was when He was frolicking round rivendell with Arwen. I thought the bests parts with Aragorn was when he was kickin butt and takin names with the nazgul, or when he chopped of lurtz's head, or the scene with Bormir when Boromir dies.
I think, all in all, that I won't care too much, but I just don't want them to ADD many of there own twists to LOTR,a nd to stay as close as possible.
