Yes, everyone. The Appendices add about 150 pgs. to RotK, so the real story (in my old copy) is about 60 pgs. shorter than TTT. So, they have some room to put things like Shelob's Lair in the next movie. What I think they should've done is made Helm's Deep shorter (it's only one chapter), not have built it up so much, and showed Saruman's surrender, closing up that storyline. The way they did it, your average person thinks Saruman is defeated and now we won't see him again, while us fans are thinking "***" about it. You can't sortof close a storyline like that, wait a year, and then open it back up. It won't work. The ordinary person would be confused. That is my opinion and you can take it or leave it.
