Agreed, so very much on all counts. (Especially regarding the Witch King. :) Although, smartyapple? Did I miss something? #Not angry, just curious. )
Fortunately, not everybody's against the Eowyn/Nazgul scene; I remember anecdotes regarding people clapping and cheering in the cinema when it happened. :) I think the only real complaints I've heard about it is that they didn't get all the dialogue in, but then again, I doubt it would work on screen (lovely as it is). One reason is that it would sound clunky and hammy, and the other being, some (less-hardcore-Tolkien-fan) people in the audience might be going, "Oh, for the love of God, stop prancing like Snidely Whiplash and kill her already!" (for the Witch King) or "Oh for the love of God, just kill him!" (for Eowyn) I know I was slightly disappointed they didn't get it in -- doesn't stop the scene from being awesome, though. :3
Using my Eowyn icon just for the hell of it. :)
