I actually own all of the books, I think. They are my brothers, and I'm thinking about maybe reading them.

Guest Matt Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 [color=red][b]You must read the book. Don't read the individual parts, then you will finish one and prolly not get around to the others. Read the whole 1000 page book, like it was ment to be.[/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syk3 Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 Really? Darn, I have all three, but the first one is in poor condition and the writing is tiny, compared to the other two which have medium writing and are brand new. I [i]was[/i] going to read the second book first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Matt Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 [color=red][b]The books own the movies. This next part is about the fellowship, so i'm not going to bother to spoiler it. The scene where Boromir dies at the end of FotR, should have been at the beginning of TTT. But they chose to put that as and ending to FotR. [spoiler]Just like they chose to not put the scene were Frodo gets stung by the shelob at the end of TTT, where it was in the book.[/spoiler] Oh ya, an I found this peice of bullsh¡t for you all to read: [url]http://www.twotowersprotest.org/index.html[/url] you can guess what the site will be about by the url.[/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juu Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 [color=deeppink] [size=1]*slaps forehead* My god. They're not actually expecting us to-... I didn't even notice the 'uncannyness' until now. It's the name of a book, and the towers never even fell! There were no terrorist action including planes, or anthrax. That's getting pretty pathetic how they're 'looking' for similarities just for more publicity now. *sighs*[/color] [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syk3 Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 That's rediculous, lol. I didn't even think of this; they're simply trying to think of an excuse to get attention. Not that they bothered to notice that it's from the book which was made years and years ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Webb Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 Read through the FAQs. They said... [quote]The movie is intentionally being named The Two Towers in order to capitalize on the tragedy of September 11.[/quote] Then they said... [quote]Many of our members are actually fans of JRR Tolkien's books[/quote] If they were [b]really[/b] fans of Tolkien's books, they'd [B]know[/b] that the movie was named after a book written years ago, and not named to "capitalize on the tragedy of September 11." The home page of this site has a little space set aside labeled "some of our feedback" where the only feedback quoted is somebody who supports their cause. How can they have Frequently Asked Questions that ask why they're doing this, but have only gotten positive feedback from visitors? I'm gonna go take a nap. Wake me up either when the world makes sense or when I break a Guiness sleeping record... whichever comes first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cora Jane 2 Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 at about this time 24 hours ago.. i was in the theater watching LOTR 2 Towers... and ya, that was awesome... and am seeing it again on monday... and am totally pumped for that too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Matt Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 [color=red][b]While we are banned "The Two Towers", lets change the name of SW Episode II: Attack of the Clones. The word "attack" clearly related to the events of Sept. 11th. And the "II" clearly looks like the two towers. Change the name to The Empire Strikes Back 2. I also thought of a name for the Two Towers after it is renames, it could be "The Merry Frolics of Frodo and Gollum". Hey, lets just ban every book with the words "two" and "towers" in them! But seriously, changing the name of the movie, but keeping the names of the characters and keeping the story, would be some form of copywrite infringment. Those people are just fools.[/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is ridiculous! That's just some BS! I suddenly have the urge to kick something.... *ends rant* ANYwho, I was a little disappointed that they took out the last few chapters about [SPOILER]Frodo getting stung by Shelob, when Gandalf faced Saurmon and he recieved that ball thingy (I forgot what it was called.) In the book, he was stung at the end of TTT, then at the last sentence of the book, you find out that he's alive. I think it would've been better to show Frodo get stung, then end the movie and leave everyone in suspense about the next movie [i]Return of the King[/i], but that's my opinion.[/SPOILER][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 *twitches* See? People will protest anything, it's sad. I bet you a billion dollars that they wouldn't have said any of that if Peter Jackson was an American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yu Yu Hakusho! Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 Can you beleive that we haven't even gone to see the movie yet?!?
