I agree Lyta. Gimli's debate with Eomer over Galadriel was, for me, one of the funniest parts in the book and I hope they find room for it in the extended DVD.<P>While Gimli is obviously a funny, warm hearted character in the book, I don't think the filmmakers quite understood the type of humour he had. It was simple, pleasant humour that everyone can laugh with. It wasn't slapstick.
