[QUOTE="Atridis, post: 1328061, member: 13919"] Actually, I thought he was a dork. I mean, really, his name means "cowardly." I agree. Well, unless the character has, or appears to have, a single eye. English, I think, but I'm not an expert. They might, if eating pizza caused them to burst into flames. lol. I swear that never even occured to me until you mentioned it. So a movie that doesn't insult my intelligence is "high art"? Okay, so from now on, movies such as "Return of the King", "Ladyhawke" and "The Princess Bride" are no longer fantasy movies. They are "high art." It is, as you say, a Very Small Criticism, but it's also a Very Dumb Thing to Screw Up. If characters whose names don't make me laugh is an unrealistic expectation, I should stop going to the movies.
