Re: Shelob And Spiders
Im pretty sure guessing the kinda guy PJ is hes gone be in monster movie heaven when it comes to Shelob. I mean if you have arachnophobia and you thought the book was scary you better bring a change of undys cause your gonna cream you pants when you actualy see her. We can only guess how long the scene will be but with all the improvising hes already doing i would assume he'll be milkin the chapter for all its worth. On the other hand when it comes to scary monsters less can be more, i mean the more thats left to the imagination the scary it can be, kinda like the whole blair witch thing, or jaws, i found the less i saw what was killing the people in the water the more i built up the monster in my mind plus Cirith Ungol is so physically dark you might not see her completley clearly so that will add to the suspence i think and add some scary music and youve gotta helluva scene. Personally i cant wait!

Re: Shelob And Spiders
I think Shelob will be extremely disturbing to anyone with arachnaphobia, sorry to say that but hey, she scares me and I love spiders!

Re: Shelob And Spiders
If the portrayal of Shelob frightens you, that's probably something to be marked down as a success in terms of the effectiveness of the film.

Re: Shelob And Spiders
I have a fear of heights and flying. I get vertigo if I am on a household ladder and nearly panic on airplanes. But have little or no problem viewing these situations on a screen.....even on a huge IMAX screen (although I still experience vertigo somewhat). What I'm getting at is perhaps you will not fear Shelob because your mind will tell you that you are not in danger because the spider is on the screen. Sure it may be scary (and I pray that it is) but maybe not uncomfortably so.....like an IMAX movie ( Everest would be a good example), thrilling but not dangerous.

Re: Shelob And Spiders
The one part where Sam and Frodo are cornerd by Shelob is accompanied by painfull hangnails on my part and spiders dont BUG me but hey The Two Towers is coming out in December 2002 so you dont have to worry about it for awhile.What I'm worried about is the Balrog,I heared this one guy jumped out of his seat cause it appeared so suddenly(hey was at the Cannes film festival). And I was gonna see a picture of the Balrog but it was rated R meaning the person in charge of the site advised people eighteen years and older see the picture.So a creature so scary that a thirteen year old cant see it,appearing so suddenly a grown man jumps out of his seat that deffiantly means I'm not gonna drink much soda during the movie.

Oh now let me see
I think that it's on the home site of Tolkien Movies but I'm not sure if it's not on there then you might want to go to links(near the bottom of the page)ww.tolkien-movies.com See I'm not intirely sure,tolkien movies is on a website whoes web addy I forgot but if you cant find it then e-mail me and I think I might have it on my favorites.
andhill@quixnet.net Sam Ps.I am NOT a chicken and if your talkin about the guy who made the spoiler. I said the sucker appeared so fast he jumped out of his seat (would'nt anyone?) not from fright but because he was suprised |

Re: Shelob And Spiders
Tater, he just left out a "w" in the url. That site has some pretty good pics, but I didn't see one of Shelob. (Hmmm, I wonder if that is what you meant Tater.)
