Ah ok, thanks. That does take care of part of it. I was disturbed by just how *much* I hated it; I'm fine with just hating it a fair bit now.
Ooh, what Aragorn/Boromir comment?
In the director/writers commentary of FotR, though I can't remember when. Probably just before or during Boromir's death, she said it added to the pathos that they were "almost like lovers". It took a while before I calmed down enough to notice the "almost" part.

"Oh. He *does* like elves".
I mainly mourn for the legions of movie fangirls who have no understanding or appreciation of Legolas/Gimli at all.
Yeah, fair enough. I really wanted to see bits of the Appendices that tell us what happens to everyone - Sam going over the Sea as well. Did he even put the Ring *on*? I'm going to believe he still did, when offscreen.
