It was Faramir. And he's pretty cool, too. (Boromir wasn't.) I'm all in favor of
Arwen getting more good scenes, but not at the expense of Eowyn. Though I'm not
sure Arwen would be as convincing in Glorfindel's role. There's an awful lot of
history behind Glorfindel that doesn't come out in the trilogy.

(trying hard to wrench this back to HP so the thread doesn't get stomped on...)

I can't decide if we're better or worse off as HP fans or Tolkein fans. On the
one hand, we (HP fans) have the fun of trying to figure out if there are any
clues to future books in the way the author influenced the movie. OTOH, Tolkein
fans have so *much* canon to work with. ;)  (And the odds of the author coming
out with any more major books-- even posthumously -- are pretty darn slim. Just
how many old notes and erased comments can even Christopher dig up?)
