See, you think boring, I think: Eee! Kate! Extra flistian action!
Also, don't you cut Tolkein slack being that when he wrote LOTR etc he was living in a mainly white, male dominated society? Or is that not how we're supposed to look at older stuff these days?
I have no idea of anything even to do with Tolkein, though, so I am not Master of Knowledge here. (I thought the films were long and boring, and I attempted to read LOTR the first book but I got to page four and went "there is no dialogue, and this book is heavy." and put it down, never to pick it up again.)
