Erm, I'm not proficient at lip-reading - I do catch the occasional word or even phrase in synchronized films.
But to my limited skills, it appears that Arwen / Liv Tyler is saying something decidedly impolite (*bleep* territory on much of US TV).
Any guesses?

I think she's whistling.

I think she's whistling.

Um - wouldn't she need a gap between the middle two top incisors to do that without the tip of the tongue visible? I'm also not very good at whistling … 😬

I think I actually recognized a couple of "terms" in that stuff - but 45-year-old memories can be deceptive.
But as for assigning blame for this kind of stuff, it would have to go to Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm (von) Leibni(t)z … 🤢

That second pic did conjure up another title in my mind:

HARRUMPH! Nothing easier than that!!!
I've never bought it in the 45 years since I've been living in Germany.
And I may never have eaten it on continental Europe, almost certain I haven't.
Only on the British, Balearic, and Canary Islands, all times on vacation (perhaps also during the three vacations on Crete - Island again).
And in South Korea, where non-Asian food basically meant US American, for some strange reason …

Erm … I watched the film trilogy, my Extended Edition DVDs, once in one sitting. Pretty exactly eleven-and-a-half hours of pure viewing time (even the cinematic version is almost nine-and-a-half-hours). Took me an hour or two longer, perhaps more. I was worn out after that, wasted.
300 times leaves 65 days of non-viewing, There are 52 or 53 weekends in a usual year. Leaves time for 13 or 12 days of vacation.
This is either fake news (once aka "urban legend") or someone needs serious help, as in detox.
