this is (or should be) a surprise to no one

But man, Theoden is *hot*. As is Karl Urban. And Mirando Otto. And Guy I Don't Know Who Played Theodred.

ETA: I had forgotten *how much* I like Orlando Bloom. I still hate me some Will Turner and lord knows, he couldn't carry Kingdom of Heaven *or* Elizabethtown, but he is awesome as Legolas. Not, you know, brilliant, but let's face it: Legolas is not the sharpest knife in the elven cutlery drawer. Clueless! Bombastic! OTT! Totally in love with Gimli!

Also, it is the bone deep crankiness. I find crankiness to be really hot, I dunno why.

Eomer, Theodred and Faramir all had *really good reasons* to be cranky, which renders it into Noble Suffering. Boromir tilted a bit toward being whiney, though (especially in the movie) he had other characteristics that redeemed him.

Oh, see, Faramir was always the one that came off emo and whiny to me. Boromir...well, Boromir is just messed up in every possible way. Also gay, like unto King Earnur. Oh, *Boromir*.
