I would like the Arwen scene removed as it's tedious and just setting up work for Liv but You guys have to give PJ a bit of slack as if you have everything in the film as is in the book like the Shelob bit added in is like an extra 10-20 mins, more Faramir and the one we are used to in the book will need explaining to the audience why he is not like his brother, no elves in Helms deep would have been to extreme for the movie audience to see these 2 000 guys against 10 000 Uruk-Hai's and it's a film guys so they needed to have the Aragorn "oh he's dead, oh he's not" scene and we needed the extra fighting to please Jimmy Doughnut who only watches films for violence and sex.
