I just want to see the sailboat!

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

The sailboat, eh, Eomer? I thought that felt a bit odd... always did think there should have been a nice modern-day sailboat floating down the Anduin. And I HAD always wondered why my house lacked oversized arachnids... The small ones we have aplenty (they abound in old houses), but Shelob sized? God bless my various vials.

Honestly though, I don't much like Galadriel's phial either. I have no idea why, as I didn't really have much of a mental image to contrast it with. It's not wrong exactly... just not right.

Another thing that didn't feel quite right to me was the staircase up to Celeborn and Galadriel's in Lothlorien. I'd always seen it as more of an elaborately carved ladder, with many wellplaced rest stops, not a big spiral staircase. It just tweaks a nerve every time I see it, as pretty and logical as it is.

It reminds me to much of the Ewok's many spiral staircases in Star Wars...

I've got one foot on each side of the line on the phial issue. While I thought it was a little wierd/iffy feeling at first, I quickly warmed up to it & now it's pretty close to just fine for me. Or at least until the elephant-sized spiders come back .

Sapphire_Flame, that is my problem! I have no idea what I think the Phial should look like. All I know is that the Phial in the film makes me uneasy, and I can't understand why.

Saucepan, your suggestion certainly seems to make sense. We did have one elephant-sized spider on our staircase once, but it made a point of never venturing into the living room.

Fea, (and everyone else interested), there are bonus points for whoever guesses the film from which the title of this thread was taken.

Ill wager its something from Monty Python...

perhaps MP and the Meaning of Life?

Ooh, bonus points. All right, Eomer. You strike me as the type of guy who would steal an idea from... [que the music: duhn duhn duhn]... Mallrats. How's my accuracy? Right? Wrong? Do I belong in an asylum with a big strong guard named Biff?

Uneasy? Maybe you have spider-blood. Don't worry, I know where you're coming from, Eomer. The phial didn't feel right to me either. Actually, the size was fine except I thought it was too small. But that's just me.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Regarding the Phial, it's heartening to know that I'm not alone.

Fea, you are right, and you are now the recipient of bonus points awarded by me. Well done!

It was indeed Mallrats (the only Kevin Smith film I like, by the way).
