I read it, it was an amusing article but I'm always hesitant to take these things too much at face value when the journalist writing it doesn't have much more than a surface knowledge of what he's writing *about*. I kind of liked the George Bush bit actually, especially since the end of the paragraph was how they kept the speech in and it worked perfectly . (I wonder if we'll be able to spot it in the movie - AHA! The Bush speech!)<P>One quibble among many; what do they mean, Aragorn and Arwen's "doomed relationship"? They marry, live together happily for a long time, have children and as far as we never cease loving each other; sorry, when I think "doomed" I think Turin Turambar and Nienor Niniel, not Aragorn and Arwen. All right, so they die in the end. But using that criterion, every relationship that's ever taken place in the world is inherently doomed - after all, everyone in a relationship is eventually going to die, right?
