Yeah, ok. Just 3 and a half hours worth of tolkien dialouge then please!<P>PS re an ealier post on Shelob's size. To me, in a film, when I see a monster I am much more frightened when they are of a 'human' comparible size.<P>Think of the Jurassic park films. What frifhtens you more. A T-Rex or a Velociraptor?<P>What's the most frightening monster in movie history? I would say the one from Alien. She was a comparible size to Ripley. <P>My point is, if jackson makes Shelob TOO big, I don't think it will be that frightening. To see a 'smaller' spider move and chase Frodo through the tunnels seems to be much more terrifying.
