I win!

I've seen the Two Towers! And chances are you haven't!

I shan't spoil anything except to say that about 2 minutes in I had to remember to breathe.

Night all!

I'm seeing it tonight!

Sean read somewhere that after September 11th, there was pressure put on Peter Jackson to change the name of the film. Fortunately he apparently felt he couldn't, which is quite right - I mean the book was finished before the Twin Towers were even designed.

Anyway, I'm looking fwd to it :-)

I believe there was a campaign to have the title of the film altered. Fortunately it was rather a minority view, and came to nothing. There was a spate of reactionary announcements, be many organisations, following the WTC disaster, the most bizarre of which was Warner Bros announcing they would withdraw every copy of Friends from the shops and change the title credits to remove the WTC from the skyline. This, of course, never actually came to fruition.

I thought PVP expressed that sentiment quite well.
