Don't forget, however, that the first two books are actually 4 books in all (Even Tokein did not feel that the books were a "trilogy"). RotK is quite short if you only count the "story" part, not the appendices. It makes alot of sense to borrow from TTT to fill out a full movie. Plus, it will add wonderful action to RotK --and may have detracted from TTT if it was put in and done hastily. But, I do agree that a little snippet of a hairy, wriggling spider foot, or a little quint form a spider eye, would have been a wonderful teaser for ROTK!
