<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Well I kind of got annoyed at the whole "It's sticky" thing because it sounded as if this was the first time he had ever ran into spider web. Don't they have spider webs in the Shire? And wouldn't he have known that they were sticky?. For me it was just kind of a "Duh!" moment, and that's why it turned out bad.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I almost got the impression that it was <I>supposed</I> to be close to pitch black for Frodo in Shelob's Lair, so that he really had very little idea what he was seeing, & was only illuminated for the audience so we didn't have to hear Frodo talking & not be able to see anything . Although later he can apparently see the large bird-like creature twisting in a web, & one or two other things, so maybe I'm not quite right. Or maybe Jackson went back on himself like with the spotlight eye thing?<P> I think that the worst line(s) would have to be Frodo's to Sam, if only because it hinges on a terrible part in the movies, & also Legolas's diversion line. There's got to be a happy medium between helping the audience along & feeing them brain-dead lines.<p>[ 11:05 PM December 30, 2003: Message edited by: The Only Real Estel ]
