First off: How did you know that about yesterday!?
Seriously though: I think there's a difference between "being bad" & "turning bad." Being bad would seem to be a sort of mistake that happens, while turning bad insinuates turning your back on the known good &
choosing to be bad for the foreseeable future. I don't think Boromir
chose that.
Of course I'll answer your Legolas question: I haven't a clue.
Jackson wanted
someone to do his "Nooooo" line to make it more dramatic, and Legolas was the best one for it because...hmm. Sorry, I can't even make up a stretch for this one.
I doubt there's any significance behind it, though. Jackson probably chose the name "Legolas" out of a hat for the scene for all I know.
