Oh Willie, my lad, all this fuss over Arwen <I>again</I>?<P>If you think Peter Jackson is a "sell-out", then how do you purpose he should have gotten his financing? Maybe <I>you</I> could have pitched in? What's 270 million, right? <P>As for Peter Jackson's "promises," I don't recall him ever saying "I promise" to me, or you, or anyone else. Tolkien himself sold the movie rights. Jackson owes you nothing.<P>And yes, Liv Tyler is sensual, and attractive to many people (not lindil though, as I've learned ), and looks good on movie posters. Well, sex sells. Sex has "sold" when we all still lived in caves. It's a natural part of the physical world that we occupy. Liv is hot. But then again, so is Elijah Wood to some people. Why don't we hear more complaining about that? Why is it Arwen this and Arwen that 90% of the time? After all, Tolkien's Frodo was supposed to be much older.<P>You have every right to dislike the films (God knows, <I>I</I> was cringing at some parts, and I am notoriously easy to please), but please don't turn this into some sort of moralist attack on Peter Jackson.
