Actually, Kid, that answers all of my questions to great satisfaction (and for great justice).

And a hearty thanks to Slant as well, for the word gollypuzwumpled.

From what I hear, Shelob doesn't appear until the third movie.

AGH!  WHERE'S THE SPOILERS WARNING!?!?!

I'm sure there were plenty of people who thought they'd see Shelob in Two Towers who have had their hopes prematurely dashed - it's much better if your hopes get dashed while actually watching the movie.  Seriously, people - provide a warning if you are going to divulge important plot points.

I had a realization about Two Towers last night that left me really disappointed in Peter Jackson's revisionist "history" approach to scripting.  I'm not going to say what happens, but Sauron is NOT supposed to know that Frodo has the Ring and is in Mordor, right?  Isn't that key to the plot?

I think I'm going to go camp out, even though I already have tickets and it's probably going to snow. I just can't wait any longer.

(This is the point, I should mention, at which all the doubt and fear start to creep in around the edges of my mind. What if I'm setting myself up for a fall? What if it's lame? What if it's too different, or too stupid, or too something else? I tell these fears to go away, but I know they're there. Tomorrow we'll see if they jump out and say "I told you so!" or get squashed into oblivion.)

I must vent:

CURSES!  Optometry School has foiled my plans yet again!  My last final is now on Thursday which means I can't see the movie opening night lest I rish failing the final.  Bah!

End vent.

I am planning on seeing it Thursday though. Try not to rub it in :)

Today's the day. It's 10:30 right now, which means that just 3 and a half hours I'll be watching the trailers and, quite possibly, hyperventilating with joy.

It was truly incredible.  Different than the first, but just amazing in it's own way.  People, you all MUST see this movie.  My pick for best film of the year.
