Yes, ....and no. Let me explain. <P>First the yes part..... I want to know everything about changes in the plot and characters so I can be forewarned. I wasn't thrilled with all the changes in TTT, but once I knew they were coming I could concentrate on the things in the movie that I really did enjoy. For that reason, I went over to The White Council a few days ago and read all 60 pages of Marty's spoiler thread! ....at which point I fell off my chair in exhaustion.<P>The 'no' part has to do with the visual images in the movie. For the most part, I am very positive about how PJ, helped by Lee and Howe, has visually translated Middle-earth onto film for us. I am fairly certain that the visuals in RotK will continue to intrigue and please me. For this reason, I've made a point to stay away from trailers and pictures and even the sound track. I want those things to be fresh for me when I see the actual movie. I'm not sure if visual images technically qualify as spoilers, but in my own mind they do.
