Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers

Longtooth · November 2002

Then what the hell is everyone babbling on about and insulting Americans for?

TychoCelchuuu · November 2002

The World Trade Center was also called the Twin Towers, or the Two Towers. Actually, don't think anyone ever called them the Two Towers.

DOOManiac · November 2002

So..

when does it come out?

MeowMix · November 2002

Nemesis_Zero · November 2002

No, it's 'only' three hours long, but I'll watch first FotR and then the Towers in a special midnight premiere my local (and most other) cinemas have put up.

Rue · November 2002

ehh il take it we can tell people where they can get the movie now? but anyway.

The first one was amazin and this one looks to blow it out the water, but this Xmas il be getting Band Of Brothers box set , OMG it is so good <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'> (donno if you have seen it in US but its a WW2 film for TV)

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and just assume you're joking. Dear Jesus, let me be right.

PseudoKnight · November 2002

Whoever hasn't watched the extended version of FotR, they should. It's quite excellent. It captures the book better and has some delicious extra content on two more DVDs.

Fina · November 2002

I'm borrowing the 4-CD set from a friend. I've watched about two or three hours on the making of it. (Sets, costumes, props, CG.) I saw the movie in the theater, but I'll probably watch it again on the DVD.

Pie_oh_pah · November 2002

You have to see the extended version at least once. They really took out a lot of important scenes.

And, in the extras, the whole perspective thing about how they dealt with the hobbits is really interesting.

Injury · November 2002

Highly recommend Band of Brothers, for people remotely interested in war. As for Two Towers... <b>WHOOOO!!!!</b>

Ahem, sorry.

Luckily for you...

Bill · November 2002

With the people on these forums, you really never know.

Fina · November 2002

Does the 4-Disk extended version have the Trailer anywhere in it?

Jinx · December 2002

first of all, i don't know what "liberals" are like in Europe, but these freaks are almost certainly conservatives in a US context. and TTT has strong environmentalist overtones, not exactly popular sentiments with american conservatives <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

the special trailer that was shown in theaters after FoTR later on is hidden on the second disk of the extended. go to the scene selections, and click on the very last scene number (48, fan club credits, i think). the cursor/hightlight will now shift to the left to select that scene. move back to the right, though, to the numbers-- now you will be able to move down below the 48, to a hidden image of the two towers... select that and it's party time <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'> think it's <a href='http://planetmirror.com/pub/movie_trailers/L2Towers.mov' target='_blank'>HERE</a> too

also, hi! I'm Jinx, my name is not taken from #@$! @ Halle Berry, i'm male, and I <a href='http://www.cryotank.net/maps/' target='_blank'>MAP</a> for Action HL

Thankyou for reviving this topic to embarrass half of the people in America. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='mad.gif'>

Jinx · December 2002

sorry. someone linked to it on the AHL msgboards, I didn't realize it was "old" <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'>

Sancho · December 2002

No prob. And sorry for getting a bit touchy. I just kind of hate political parties <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wow.gif'>

Heh,

Spooge · December 2002

I'm not sure why Jinx has activated this topic again, but the assumption that the movement to have the title of the movie changed is not headed by Conservatives. No, I don't personally know the individuals responsible but I hold the Conservative viewpoint and I despise everything this group is trying to do. As I explained in my earlier post, anyone trying to involve the Federal Government to change the title of a movie because it would hurt the feelings of a minority of individuals falls into a position directly opposite of Conservative thought. Hence, the sentiment that these people are Liberals. Or, if you ask them, "Progressives" (blah).

I'm also not sure where this "anti-environment" rhetoric comes from but I'd guess it was a public school teacher who lost their T.V. remote and has to watch CNN all the time. I'd recommend gathering your information on your own rather than borrowing someone elses thoughts.

Nemesis_Zero · December 2002

I already posted my opinion about the political status of these jerks some pages ago, but tell me Spooge, if you don't know why Jinx bumped this topic, then why do you bump it again by repeating something you say yourself you already told us?

Also, a man who calls people who try to conserve gasoline "tree hugging nuts" shouldn't complain about being called "anti-envi" <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'>

Ugh, that's almost as bad as the petition.

Supernorn · February 2003

thought id bring this topic back from the dead, seeing as the film is already out now...i suggest e-mailing the people that made that site and give them your honest opinion of their stupidity...i know i have <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>
but in a civil way of course...here is what i wrote:

</span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>
are you ok?
i understand that sep 11th is a 'sensitive' event, but jesus christ, its a *name*
if it had ANY reference to blowing up two towers, then id agree with you..but it doesnt.
these books were written some half a century ago...i cannot believe how sensitive you are on this issue that you would attempt to change the name of a film that has NO REFERENCE to september the 11th...

now the film is out and it still has the name it was *destined* to have..i am sure you feel very stupid. maybe you should of realised this earlier...

EDIT:
Sorry to all americans, for bumping this thread...but you really should be at least partially embarrassed for this comment alone:
