Gimli was fucking abhorrent. Dwarves are bad mofos, not jesters. If there was anything in the LotR films that really took me out of the story it was bullshit like "dwarf tossing." It really made me incredibly angry that Jackson inserted terrible cheap jokes instead of telling the tale as it was told. I understand editing out material to fit the the format, but adding extraneous, dated, bigoted material was a bad move on his part. In one hundred year I'm sure that "dwarf tossing" will be a "sport" outside of the most viewers understanding, dumb ass thing to put into a timeless classic.
