She seemed to be under the impression that Arwen would come to Gondor to see Aragorn, but Faramir would fall in love with her.

Yeah, but about Arwen and Faramir, she was WAY off.

Non-readers will NEVER understand Tolkiens world. We have to be kind. Not everybody discovers this great book. We're the blessed in this world, we have read it. (lol)

Once my mom stops reading her weird "best seller" or "book club" books, I'm going to convince her to read LOTR. She still hasn't seen either movie, but she shall, yes, she shall (my mom's big on "bonding", and I'll make her watch FOTR with me). She's fond of big books, and LOTR is one big book.

My mom saw Bakshi and Rankin-Basses ROTK, so she knows what happens!

I've seen the Bakshi version too. No wonder she's a lost cause! I'm glad I saw Peter Jackson's version and read the books first.

Personally, I think Bakshi captured the spirit of Tolkien better than Jackson. At least his dwarf wasn't an idiot.
Hoom...hum...ON-topic: Miranda Otto was a good Eowyn, though actually I liked RB's Eowyn a lot, too.

RB = Rankin Bass, right? Not Ralph Bakshi, since his Eowyn didn't even say anything. ::sigh:: I haven't seen Rankin Bass's ROTK, but I have seen stills, and Eowyn looks almost too small to be convincing. However, I'll have to get my hands on the movie first (the library people already think I'm a freak, checking out BBC LOTR twice, LOTR twice, requesting the get the Silmarillion, and checking out cartoon movies...LoL).
MO did a very good job with the material she was given. I can't wait to see her shine in ROTK.

O, yes, of course. Silly me, forgot his first name began with R. Could certainly cause confusion.
MR - Miranda Rotto? Did you not like her Eowyn? ![]()

My mum loves PJ's LotR, so maybe she will read the books some time.
I have only seen PJ's LotR and can't judge the others, but I love PJ's Eowyn (back to the topic).

Eowyn versus the Witch-king
Hey, I just read that Eowyn will slay the Witch-king in Rotk. I'm really sure that it will be in the movie, because they are currently re-shooting this part of the movie. Hurray.

PJ left out many things in his two films, like Tom Bombadil and Gimli falling in love with Galadriel (though I think you could see that in the extended version). It would be sad if he left out the Éowyn-Faramir affair in his third film.
