Boromir....% Co!!!

[Dain]

I always assumed they were just other men from here and there, like Dale/Esgaroth as someone pointed out. The one thing I didn't like was the fact that everybody but the main characters stares blankly off into the distance as if scenic Rivendel could distract them from the horrors of the ring. Actually, one of the men shifts his gaze once, I think, but other than that, blank stares... Did anyone else find the facial expressions of the extras in this film (esp elves) a bit vacant? Anyway, I don't think the men came with Boromir, which is why we see him arrive alone, which is right. Maybe by "summoned" Elrond means he had summoned them to the meeting and that they were already there at Rivendel, rather than that he had summoned them from around middle earth?...
