Frodo goes on hos own as he realises he can not trust anyone not to try and take the ring

Not to mention in the book a couple of them (Gimli/Legolas and Boromir I think off memory) sh1t it and don't want to go to Mordor but want to put their feet up in Minas Tirith.

Didn't Boromir go all ring-induced schizoid on his ass? That Sean Bean rooster plays some dodgy types.

I heard sam ganjees had a little go on his ring

correct...that was after that gross BDSM session with Ungoliant

There's also that. Damn good plot throughout the first book of Lord Of The Rings, full of melancholy and the failures of teamwork despite their best efforts. My favourite part.

Ah yeah, I was even meaning book-wise, just builds up nicely, the horror of the ringwraiths etc, so well written. But you're right movie-wise too. Still feel they could have made the wraiths a lot scarier, you could do R16-18 horror with them the way they were described suddenly standing on ridgelines in front of you and the stalking through the woods etc. Great acting though, well cast, Sean Bean's best movie, his death scene always gives me goosebumps.

yes...that was pretty out there. I had no idea we had spiders like that. No wonder Bear Grylls never looks hungry when he exits NZ bush

I fumed, I hate spiders ffs, then to learn we have them that big in NZ. Not a happy man. Jackson based Shelob on them cos he hates them too apparently. I just watched Good Morning Vietnam as a bit of a Robin Williams tribute (what a class act) and its bugging me right at the end how the Major overhears the conversation with the door clearly shut and the Major well out of sight and out of shot. Just didnt make sense for mine

Yeah he's (like me) arachnophobia, he used to find them under his house (funnelwebs, not these monstrosities, apparently they live underground so we should be alright).

Tolkien, when a young lad in South Africa, got bitten by a big black hairy mofo spider...he hated them too.

Mork and Mindy was an offshoot of Happy Days, believe it or not. In one of the early episodes, Fonzie had some weird dream with Mork from Ork appearing in it

They have no place on this earth and need eradicating.
