According to our own poll, two-thirds (68%) of Tolkien fans believe Peter Jackson's Elves should have pointed ears. Recent photos of Liv Tyler as Arwen reveal that she does indeed have pointed ears, but the bottoms of her ears are somewhat rounded, so someone picked a leaf (though I cannot tell what kind -- botany is one of my weaker subject). The points are not very pronounced by the ears do stick out from the side of her head at an angle.I must say I didn't really expect it to happen any other way. If nothing else, the pointed ears are an obvious physical cue to the viewing audience of who is and who isn't human.
