Hey, have there been RWers who believe that "The Two Towers" |
|
was written about the WTC attack, and boycotted the Tolkien movies because of it?
I would love to see their postings about that!

Don't think there are any stupid enough to think it was actually written ABOUT 911, but I do remember there were some ppl complaining about the title

3. Some about that eye bothers me |
|
Often during the movie, they would zoom in so close that you couldn't see the edge of the eye - just the ratherly strangely shaped iris.
Reminded me of something.

4. Tolkien had many talents... |
|
but I don't think that predicting he future was one of them.

5. Yes, there was actually an online petition |
|
to get them to change the name of the movie. Most of the signees (including myself) took a chance to righteously mock them in our signatures for doing so.

6. Did You See That Online Petition |
|
that the title of "The Two Towers" be changed because of the September 11 attacks? It was on a site that's used for a lot of political petitions.
Anyway, when I saw it the petition had generated something like 500 signatures. Except that when you paged through and actually read the comments, 80% were nothing but insults and mockery. It was absolutely hilarious!
