I don't think we need to be taking pot shots at Liv Tyler because she dropped her cloak (as was probably dictated by the script/directing/etc.) Through all the times I saw the TTT trailer I never thought of it as a stripteeze, but then of course, I'm not a guy....<P>Anyway, I'm glad they didn't have Éowyn fight in TTT. It takes away from the whole deal with her being left behind <I>again</I> in RotK. Up until she takes the initiative and sneaks along, they should maintain the frustration of not getting to fight. Modern non-book audiencies may have been expecting to get the "I never get to fight" issue resolved in TTT already (my dad was, he thought it was kind of stupid that they talked about it so much but it never happened). But that's the whole point of her character, until "the big one". So I'm glad that in this case they thought better of yet another character alteration for impatient audiences.
