I actually like what they did with Arwen, even though it strayed from the books. Gave her more of an active role than Tolkien did, and yet kept it as something that Tolkien would have been able to swallow. (As opposed to making her Xena Warrior Princess, or Lara Croft, or similar idiocy.)

My bad, I've been lurking for a long time and this is one of my first Posts, anyway...

I thought what they did with Arwen was ok, it didn't cause me any heartache (and I've read the trilogy about a dozen times). However, the question becomes what about Eowyn? Do they slip Arwen into that role too? I think that would be a shame.

All in all, I only had problems with a few places where the story veered from the books. Mostly with the way they handled the breaking of the fellowship and Boromir in general.

I thought the Orcs were very effective. Its not readily apparent in the books that they were originally elves that were "mutated", though it is mentioned (in the Silmarillion I think). The Uruk Hai were also very good, they definately came across as a "bigger and badder" type of orc.

I saw it... I wanted to believe it was just a rumor at first, but when I saw it on both scifi.com and on CNN (television, not internet ), a few things happened. First I screamed, "NOOOOOO!!!!!!!". Then I went into the fetal position, and tried to think happy thoughts about Star Wars. Then I tried to console myself by saying, "Hey, maybe they'll die!". Then I remembered that Jar Jar is going to be in this one too, and I went back into the fetal position. Then I said, "Screw Star Wars, it's over. Lord of the Rings rules!".

(from scifi.com)
It's official: Lucasfilm has confirmed rumors that boy band N'Sync will appear briefly in George Lucas' upcoming Star Wars: Episode II--Attack of the Clones, according to reports on TheForce.net and E! Online. It's not clear which members of the popular band have cameos in the movie, a Lucasfilm spokesperson told MTV. The popsters will be seen for a fleeting moment in a "big scene with lots of extras," the spokesperson said.

It's also unclear why Lucas agreed to include the band. The New York Post reported that Lucas acceded to a request from his pre-teen daughters, who are big fans of the band. But Lucasfilm representative Lynn Hale told E! Online that Lucas' daughters "didn't have anything to do with it" and that the band's members, who are big Star Wars fans, asked producer Rick McCallum if they could appear in Episode II.

As far as I can tell, they're just going to be background. I don't see anything about "Jedi Masters" or a new song.

Well, it does sorta make sense:
attack of the clones -> attack of the boy bands
where boybands = clones

[tesco samoa]

i think that was attack of the clowns
