Two Towers: Who's Going?
- Thread starter Downtown
- Start date
I watched some sort of "making of" show the other night on WB, geared me up for it.
Now I am not going to wait on line or anything but its the best fantasy stuff out there.
Cept, I always have problems finding baby sitters so that my wife and I can actually go out.
More likely, I get it on DVD

Seems like a good cable movie.....in other words, I'm willing to wait a year or so to see it.

I loved the first movie... I saw it when it first came out. I just rented it on dvd a few weeks ago again, and it was *still* awesome. I have never read the trilogy, so I have no idea how the movies compare... but I'm definitely looking forward to the new movie (especially after a dearth of good movies in the past few months).

I read the Hobbit and the trilogy for the first time when I was about 12 and from then on Middle Earth was like a real place. I have since reread them maybe 5 times. How to explain it? I don't know. Just that I love the story and the characters, it has adventure, good vs. evil, etc. I guess we feel like all the kids when the Harry Potter movies come out, just that we've been waiting so much longer.
And yes, like PG, I was a geeky kid, rather read than anything.

Definitely going to see it. There is so much hype here, there will be a parade through the city with people in full costume, and for a week they change all the city signs from Wellington to 'Middle Earth'. There is huge demand to watch the movie at Peter Jackson's favourite theater, a big old place that I live up the road from.

So, It's just like the first one?KMateja said:
*SIGH*
I went to the first one with a friend that *really* wanted to see it. Midnight show opening night on the UltraMax screen. I read the books, and it was quite true to them. Even the scenes mirrored the illustations in the books to the point that my friend would gasp audibly when he recognized one.
UGG. This is going to be another 3 hours of my life shot to h*ll. isn't it?

UPDATE: Saw that friend last night. Got invited to the "double secret-after-the-theatre-closes-free-preshowing-prior-to-official-release". Turns out be befriended a cinema manager who is breaking the rules. He's psyched about it, I'm ambivalent but attending none the less.bturk said:

NERD ALERT!
Just kidding, have fun BTurk! I remember going to the movies on opening night of Star Wars. I nearly got trampled by everyone in costumes fighting for seats.

Re: Re: Re: Two Words-
OT: When I got my first tatoo I almost got the Biohazard logo, but it was more $ than I had on hand, go I got something else. Good thing - I later found out that in gay circles, it is a pride symbol for HIV+ people.
What is Bobofet's symbol? Please tell me its not a pinktriangle.TexasPlanner said:

Re: Re: Re: Re: Two Words-
Still OT: A step-sister of mine got a Chinese character on her neck and then later found out, from a guy that knew the language well, it meant something along the lines of "hussie"- it's covered up by a large iguanu now. : )bturk said:
