Exactly what demographic is decrying the lack of female characters in Lord of the Rings? And the way Peter Jackson fleshed out Arwen's character is supposedly well-rounded, and allows female viewers to identify her? She comes across as a vapid, annoying teenager rebelling against her father. No one I have talked to (male or female) was interested in the love story at all, and in multiple viewings, the audience has always laughed at the ridiculous "peek-a-boo" scene with Arwen behind the elf standard at Minas Tirith.
And while there may have been a dearth of female characters in the books, to me Eowyn is one of my all-time favorite female protagonists.
One other thing that really sucked: letting people believe "pipe-weed" was "weed, dude" instead of tobacco, and changing a scene of quiet humor at the gates of Isengard into one where the morons in the audience laugh because the "hobbits are high, dude!"
I also thought my online mode of speech would remain online - but then one day I responded to a friend's joke by saying "L-O-L" instead of actually laughing... I forced myself to go a week without IM after that.
