Starwarsish bad guys in LOTR? eh? All the Star Wars bad guys are supposed to be dehumanised, identical killing machines. On the contrary, great lengths were gone to to make sure that no two Orcs looked alike. <P>The Haradrim were one of my big disappointments of TTT. In the book they're these big, tough black guys with shiny bronze armour, red flags and gold rings in their ears. Much cooler than those sombre guys in the movie. Apparently they were supposed to look like Saracens (Muslims from the time of the Crusades), but you're right they looked like bedouins, or Iranian women, or something! Maybe PJ supports a war on Iraq??? And the movie is called the Two Towers as well - talk about bad timing! Public Relations Nightmare!
