The sailboat, eh, Eomer? I thought that felt a bit odd... always did think there should have been a nice modern-day sailboat floating down the Anduin. And I HAD always wondered why my house lacked oversized arachnids... The small ones we have aplenty (they abound in old houses), but Shelob sized? God bless my various vials.
Honestly though, I don't much like Galadriel's phial either. I have no idea why, as I didn't really have much of a mental image to contrast it with. It's not wrong exactly... just not right.
Another thing that didn't feel quite right to me was the staircase up to Celeborn and Galadriel's in Lothlorien. I'd always seen it as more of an elaborately carved ladder, with many wellplaced rest stops, not a big spiral staircase. It just tweaks a nerve every time I see it, as pretty and logical as it is.
