Giggles

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

If a certain instance of humour works for its audience then it is 'good humour'? I must disagree, sir. Any sexist, racist or whatever else kind of joke told in a circle of, say, 20 people may elicit loud laughs from everyone, but it would still be bad humour.

As to the non-book reader's memory of Gimli as the quiet kinda subtle character, that may have to be a necessary consequence of such a film with many characters. This is still arguably better than having the non-book reader remember Gimli as the short clown.
