and what the heck was that 'pin Aragorn to a tree with a shield'
nonsense? But besides that...

	Orange Bug, I assume you are familiar with the books. There was more
attention paid to female characters in the movie than in the book.

	Um, that wasn't Legolas. It was another elf, who remained in Rivendell.
(I can't look up his name at the moment since the books are in the
bedroom with Peggy, and she's asleep...)
