[Lobelia]

I saw the film, recently, with my brother and sister-in-law. My brother is reading the novel and had some vague notion of what was going on, but my sister-in-law had never read the book and had no idea what was going to happen. She went white-faced in the scenes between Frodo and Sam, reacted emotionally to each new experience, moaned, "Oh, no, I'm an arachnophobe!" and cringed during the Shelob scene. I found it quite touching, really, to see the film with someone for whom LOTR was a new experience. Anyone else have a story about this?
