So... Got your Two Towers Tickets yet?

hallucienate · 12 Dec 2002, 22:31

Got mine this evening on the way home from work:
"7 tickets for the Wednesday, 9PM show, please"

I checked my tickets half and hour ago they said "9:30 am".

A quick sprint to the cinema and everything sorted out. Row E, in the centre.

Yup, I have reservated 4 tickets for Thursday the 19th.
Balcony, first row, trÃ¨s kewl.

greetings, Otto.

new LOTR trailer on the web:

On Dec 13th 2002, TV audiences in the USA were treated to this 30-second advertisement for Two Towers. It's both breathtaking and unrelenting. But watch out for the spoilers, because they're everywhere! This is amazing stuff. Take a look!

Got tix from my gf for my birthday this morning!

Wicked.

Speaking of birthdays - Quiffy, the "birthday popup" (if that's what it is) doesn't exist. What a let down

Have read the books years and years ago (yes, even The Silmarillion and all the others), haven't seen the first movie, so i can't really coment on how bad (or good?) it was and i won't see this one either. I think i'll wait for next year and watch all three together, and THEN i'll complain about how they weren't truthfull to Tolkien's spirit and all that gibberish. And does anyone else think Sam Gangee was gay? I mean, all that fraternal love with Frodo... And just why the hell were Liv Tyler and Cate Blanchett casted as elves?

woooohoooo! another winner!

great movie. I'm a bit tired though, only got in at 2:00 am, and had wake up at 7:00 am.

I don't think you should be too worried Zig, they are actually very good films and quite close to the books, except for all the love interest stuff, which is pretty lame.

Why do they allways put in a lot of love in films based on books without love?
I`m confused.

Jim · 19 Dec 2002, 17:06

Er, money.

The kids love it.

Went to the opening night - got a numb bum - (3 Hours!) - movie was excellent - apart for the bit about ..........................(please fill with inappropriate comments) - still prefer "first" on!

Ganith · 28 Dec 2002, 02:27

Saw it today.

I liked the 1st one, really. After all, it's a movie, not the book, they need the love stuff, and all the battles...

Can't find excuses for this one.

well, i went to see it and thought it was rather good, ok, it wasn't as close to the books as the first one (I don't know why but the ents/ent moot pissed me off, ho hum), but as far as movies go, i thought it was pretty good. can't wait for LOTR rev. 3.0, then i'll be forced to buy the 12 cd box set of the whole bloody lot!!!

Poland is a 7th World. We will play Harry Potter first. I hate this little sonofabeach

It was completely and utterly racist. Allegory for the invasion of western civilisation.

The King wrote:It was completely and utterly racist. Allegory for the invasion of western civilisation.

while i can see your point, i have read several of the letters and notes of jrr, as well as the book written by his son, and both claim it is neither to do with racism, nor fascism (as many people still believe).

just my pov...
