Dude, he's just not that into you

So my friend Emily and I were watching Return of the King before Christmas break, and while watching Eowyn throw herself at Aragorn for the fifth time in twenty minutes, I had to sigh. "Man, Eowyn, don't you get it? He's just not that into you."

As the movie continued, Eowyn proved ably that no, she did not get it. And we realized that the entire conflict of the movie can be defined by that one simple statement. For example:

"Dude, Sam, Frodo's just not that into you."

"Dude, Gandalf, Sauroman's just not that into you."

"Dude, Gollum, the ring's just not that into you."

"Dude, Pippen, Merry's just not that into you."

"Dude, Faramir, your dad's just not that into you."

"Dude, Sauron, Middle Earth's just not that into you."

"Really, Eowyn. DUDE."

In summation: If any of those characters had just read that damn book, Return of the King woulda been a whole lot shorter.
