Firstly, if PJ had decided to put in a love scene, I think Tolkien would go and prod him for us...Tolkien would not have wanted any love scenes in Lord of the Rings...<P>Secondly, if PJ had decided to put in a love scene, Christopher Lee would go and help Tolkien's spirit prod him for us. Mr. Lee seems to be quite the Tolkien fan himself.<P>Thirdly, even if sex was implied, it would still only be a PG-13 rating. There has to be nudity and descriptive sex scenes for it to be R-rated. If they, however, showed Aragorn and Arwen kiss, then go behind a curtain, then later showed them from shoulders up, apparently nude, in bed together, it would be PG-13. <P>Fourthly, I do not think PJ would put sex in the movie. He seems to understand the general idea of the story, even if he did take Glorfindel and the like (actually, after hearing the Commentaries, I agree with more of the decisions he made and why he had to make them in the way he did). He understands the basic integrity of the piece and would not ruin it.
