I have a question for those of you who have seen the movie. See, I
have a mega-big problem : I am arachnophobic, full-strength. I could
not even stand looking at the trailer of that spoof giant-spider
movie, a couple of years ago. If I ever met a Boggart, it would turn
into my mental image of Shelob. I could never have stayed alive and
conscious through what Ron endured in CoS. And I swore never ever to
watch Arachnophobia !
So back to the point : reading those Shelob parts in the books was a
real torture for me. It was so bad that when we bought a magazine
with a double page picture of Sam fighting Shelob, my husband *taped
it together* before I got to it !! So my question is : is it safe for
me to go and see Return of the King ? Is there any chance I can get
through the Shelob scene without being irrevocably traumatised for
life ? I know it sounds funny, but I would rather skip the movie than
see my worst nightmare on a big screen...
Del, feeling very silly indeed, but oh well I do need the advice
