Isn't a spoiler more like speculation on how TTT will end. Wasn't sure if people wanted to read it, better safe than sorry.
 ********************* I'm also confused why they're showing Shelob in trailers if Sam and Frodo don't meet her. Or do they end the movie just when they get to the lair (as the trailers show it)??? Ohhh, that would be a good cliff hanger (that ending totally just came to my head). Interesting. ********************* Last edited by Turgon : 12-15-2002 at 11:35 PM. |

My wife who has read the books many times but not recently, also won't re-read any of the trilogy until after each movie. I tried to tell her to go ahead and read chapter one of TTT because it is the end of the first movie, but she's being persnickety about that, too. She doesn't want to feel that "they got it wrong" feeling. So she read The Silmarillion, The Hobbit, and The Fellowship this year. Me? I am finding all the spoilers and keeping my mouth shut.
The timeline is going to get botched a little. In the books, the full moon is mentioned once for both plotlines. In Merry and Pippin's plotline, he mentions the full moon when Pippin peeks out of Gandalf's robe AFTER the defeat of Saruman. In Frodo and Sam's plotline, he mentions the full moon at the Forbidden Pool scene. In the Appendices you can find a slight discrepancy about this alignment, but we discussed it on the "books" messageboard and found that it works out the same. In the movies,
So readers, like my wife, who want to read only as far as the movie went, must stop after Book IV chapter 8. When the title of the next chapter says Shelob's Lair, they should not read further. I think they should also skip the last chapter of Book III and save it for the next read. Because I think RotK will start with:

hrmm, thats the only thing that kinda bugs me, the moving of Shelob. I understand time and everything, but when I first read it I remember thinking what a fantastic part it was, this big well written cliff hanger when *im assuming everyone has read the books so im not giving anything away but just in case
*
Fantastic. Sam was such a great character! And it totally shines through in that part. I just hope they dont mess it up terribly.  ~Celebréiel

I don't think that the movie will end with Shelob, but it would have been a perfect ending with what happens in "The Choices of Master Samwise." Oh well, guess we'll just have to wait (two more days!) and see.

I think they are expanding the Gollum / Smeagol split personality and making it a central theme of this movie, so the choice of where to put the cliffhanger seems to be part of that. I happen to believe Samwise is the real hero and I don't expect anyone, especially PJ, to agree with that.
