*Sigh* I remember joking about that too, Diamond . There might be Faramir-fangirls yet though, after ROTK - the Eowyn romance might be cut down a bit, but the sympathy quotient will be up 500% after seeing those scenes with Denethor.<P>And yes, black wigs on blond actors generally look dreadful - I'm not sure why, my guess would be that there's a subtle difference in skin colour or tone or something like that, so that the black hair just seems a little "off". Dye doesn't generally work either - I knew several blondes in grade school who decided to go Goth and dyed their hair, well, raven-black. Granted, they probably didn't do the best job in the world, but it just looked wrong. Whereas one of the brunettes also dyed her hair black and it didn't look bad. Unfair, of course, but that seems to be how it is...<p>[ 4:57 PM December 14, 2003: Message edited by: Kalimac ]
