Sexuality in The Two Towers???

This was posted at theonering.net, it is the UK's explanation of the rating for Two Towers.

UK Rates TTT For Sexual Content?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just recieved an e-mail from Odeon cinema UK, with this info on TTT;

Lord of the Rings: Two Towers (12A*)
Released 13th December
Eagerly awaited sequel to last year's blockbuster The Fellowship of the Ring.
*Contains moderate action, violence and one sex scene.

Any number of queries with that - is 13th a typo? And what sex scene? Although this is the first confirmation I've seen of a certification, and it's using the new (in the UK) 12 advisory rating.[/hr]



Anyone got any thoughts? While I appreciate the love story, I have no desire to see Aragorn and Arwen do the nasty.

Methinks the BBFC is being their usual overly-touchy self.

The speculation that I think is the most likely is that
Spoiler:
Grima Wormtounge goes after Eowyn in a near-rape.

Maybe it's because of the Legolas/Gimli shower scene.

Eowyn is ass-tastic. Liv Tyler isn't exactly a dish either, what with her father's giant mouth and all, but Eowyn definitely wins for ass-o-matic.

I don't think Aragon is blind. He can see those elves live such a long life must have pick up a trick or two in bed. They probably know many 'peasure' techniques that put humans to shame.

Ever see Steven Tyler doing a Got Milk? advertisement in a magazine. Damn right he has a big mouth. However, if Liv Tyler was desperately seeking some sexual attention, I wouldn't turn her away.

Wow. You must have very high standard to think Liv Tyler is not attractive.

I always thought she was sort of odd looking too. Not necessarily bad looking, but odd.

This was all a mistake. The info was wrong. TTT will be released on december 18th and there is no sex in it.

IMHO, Liv Tyler's jaw is too big and round. I prefer a more angular jawline (especially for an elf!) But she is certainly not ugly.

You're probably right, but do you have a source for this info. or is it just an opinion?

I didn't say Liv Tyler was ugly, I just said she has a big mouth. She looks all right I guess, though in the movie she isn't really that attractive, IMHO.

My first thought was it could be just because of a couple of shots of Viggo Mortensen's butt.

An appendium to the story on theonering.net website now states the sexual aspect claim was a mistake. Word is the the violence is more hyped than from what was seen in FOTR which led the BBFC to give the film the more 'restrictive' 12A rating.
