I also agree with arn...I'm a bit tired of people saying PJ is an elf "fanboy."

Elves in Tolkien's world are wise, strong and powerful. Thats just how it is in that particular story. Fingolfin, a second generation Noldo, fought one-on one with Melkor-Morgoth, the most powerful being to ever walk Middle Earth, and held his own, inflicting terrible wounds.

Finrod Felagund, Galadriel's older brother, nearly defeated Sauron in a spell-song duel.


So yea...PJ isnt a "fanboy". he's just a tolkien fan.

Peter Jackson said himself that the books as wrtitten are unfilmable, I agree. I have heard one thing about RotK EE. The drinking contest, Leg o LAME wins it, against a dwarf? :\ Proves that Peter Jackson is an elf fanboy. Heaven forbid we get ONE FRICKING SCENE in all three movies where the dwarf does something better then the pretty boy elf.

I wholeheartedly agree. At least Gimli farts better than Legolas.

If you mean enough wind to clear the Golden Hall of Edoras, then yes.

At least Legolas, like all wood-elves, have that potpourri smell.

I would've thought that he'd smell like a pine-scented air freshener.

No, that would be Galadriel.

No, that would be Galadriel.
