Miranda Otto had plenty to say about the bad comedy scenes, particularly the rightly aborted "stew" scene. The horror, the horror. I <3 her.
It's good he chucks her, though, cos she would only have been unhappy with the broody fucker (and the age gap might have been a bit much in the end - what, 60 years or something??), and she gets Faramir instead, who is Teh Hott Geekboy and all-round awesome. I'd pick Faramir in a heartbeat, no question.
I'm glad you mention it, actually, because, hello, Aragorn is an old campaigner and he damn well ought to be willing to eat anything on campaign short of horseshit, and also the "she can't cook joke" is hideously overused, but..
... of course it was good for _her_, particularly if it's book-Faramir who isn't a dweeb, but my point is _he_ is an idiot.
Oh yeah, Aragorn is a fool alright. No denying. But hey, if a person just doesn't make you feel it, what's to do? Esp if you have a thing for pointy ears.
The cooking joke was beyond sexist, I'm so glad it was cut.

That fell flat with me as well, for similar reasons.
(Being a vegetarian, I'm used to having to go hungry and so I'm used to having to eat *whatever* is available that won't make me ill, no matter how bad. I simply can't imagine turning my nose up at something just because it happened to taste terrible. Better terrible food than going hungry!)
