As long as we're talking weird matters in Shelob's lair, did anyone notice that Shelob, scuttling for safety from Sam and Sting, shrieks, "No-o-o!" I know Shelob was sentient, but it was unexpected.
My brother made me crack up, during that scene, where Sam says, "All right, you filth,etc." by whispering a reference to that scene in ALIENS where Ripley confronts the Alien Queen. Of course, I did point out to him, after choking, that Tolkien said it first, but it goes to show, a lot of people were inspired by the Professor, eh?
