[Ruler of the Frogs]

I didn't mean to say that YOU were being hard on Petet Jackson I think this is an interesting thread. I was reading the books before I saw the movie, but I was finding the beginning very slow and was about to lose interest, when the movie captivating me so much that I love the books now I was younger and I just couldn't see past the slow moving beggining (now I love the beggining). I see why PJ put Arwen instead of Glorfindel. Her role is more vital in RotK, and she becomes kind of important. After the council of Elrond, Glorfindel is no longer important. If they had used Glorfindel in the movie, when Arwen just popped outta no where and married Aragorn in RotK, movie-lovers-only would be like 'WHA? WHO'S THAT CHICK?!' And they would be confused.
