Oh, and I am with Lalwende on this. Why are all the heroes men and all the villains female?
Well I wasn't at all surprised to see the woman from Fatal Attraction on the list. But to save me veering off into an enormous rant about it, I'd refer anyone to Susan Faludi's Backlash to read her explanation of why that film is deeply offensive.

I'm intrigued though. Where could we find a Darth Vader character in Tolkien's work?
