I'm into Lord of the Rings for the story, history, etc., not for the actors. Sure, Orlando Bloom is cool, but Legolas is just a billion times cooler than Orlando could ever hope to be. And Eówyn is super-cool, but the actress is just cool. And don't even get me started on Arwen. I mean, really... In the books, she's supposed to be the most beautiful Elf in some 7000 years, rivaled only by Lúthien, and yet Liv Tyler makes me want to hurl! I mean, sure... She's cute, but beautiful? She resembles a pig (really, ther way her face is proportioned, and her nose's shape, do make her look piggish), not a beautiful woman, and certainly not the second most beautiful Elf (by default a beautiful race) to have ever lived! So enough of these dang threads about hotness! If you want to make a thread devoted to determine how hot book Legolas is, or book Eówyn is, then that's cool (to maybe have more than one of), but otherwise, please, cease this madness! 🙄 Okay, enough of my ranting and raving.
