Heh...I'm pretty much in agreement with you there.

Who was it we used to annoy with Boromir bashing? Can't recall.

I prolly shoulda worked to add to my margin, but I was finding that story too boring.

So I went back and added a coupla hundred words to the other story. Dragons are more entertaining than furniture shopping.

Probably me. Poor, misunderstood Boromir and everybody's out to make him the bad guy.

I don't think he's intentionally evil.

Just dense.

And arrogant, too. He doesn't get it that just MAYBE, other people know more about the Ring and the Dark Lord than he does. Duh.

OT: Heat requires coal, which is expensive and momentary whereas a coat and vest, once purchased and kept in reasonable repair, will last for years. :-)

Was that Carton? No, she was the Smeagol fan. Hmmm. SuziQ didn't like it when we talked about how much better Faramir is...

Mmm, Faramir.

That is the Victorious Warrior, displaying the tophies of battle and enjoying his rightful share of the spoils.

War doen't have to be all blood, toil tears and sweat :)

I thought Sean Bean did an EXCELLENT portrayal of Boromir...fleshed him out far better than in the book...in the book he struck me as just a plain old creep, but Bean brought forward some very plausible motivations for why Boromir acted the way he did. When you have grown up as the Golden Son of the highest leader in the land, and theres a good chance that you could save the day by advancing your position, things like an all powerful Ring start to look pretty good...only hubris prevents him from understanding the cost.

I really did like Boromir better in the movie than in the books...which I almost feel is heresy, but there it is!

He still looks at things only from a military standpoint, which considering his background is understandable...but yeesh, the guy didn't listen to ANYTHING anyone else said!
