SicariusMan writes "Seems there is a Two Towers teaser out at movie-list.com. Thank goodness for the CrossOver Plugin." And Astin writes "Ain't it cool news has a list of mirrors showing the new LoTR trailer. More action and burning and orcs, etc, etc, etc."
Wow you people sure love paying for shitty plugins.

You do not need a mac or w9x machine, or a crossover plugin. The work people have done xine which was referred to on slashdot plays this successfully.
Yes, I'm watching it now.
Jackson has already commented that he's moving some stuff between books for pacing and other issues. E.g. Shelob will not be in TT, but in the last picture.
They haven't cut out the Ents. I saw the teaser that was shown at the end of LotR:FotR and it shows an Ent, albeit for about 10 seconds. They are in the movie and from what I saw, they look incredible.

Seeing as how John Rhys-Davies is credited with playing Gimli and Treebeard, it looks like we will have at least one Ent.
for those who have not read the books (fools!).
This, concerning the white dressed man, in the forest. I'll say no more.

For the last week, I've been itching to post this but due to Net complications, it was not to be. However, fellow excited LOTR geeks, I am here to report I have seen the full trailer for The Two Towers, in a theatre, and you can too.
I live in Ithaca, NY, home of Cornell University, who (thankfully) continue to show films over the summer, and at the end of last week's screening of Fellowship, there was the (at least 3 minute) preview of Towers. I haven't seen this one online that everyone's talking about, but I'm assuming it's the same. I'm one of those who enjoys previews in the theatre before the feature, especially when it gets you all wet, like the LOTR trilogy. And this was amazing.
So I recommend to any and all, find a college close by that's screening Fellowship if you can. My theory is that they have an advance copy of the VHS (it wasn't DVD - their audio was awwwwful ) to show, and they let us see the preview. Thanks, CU.
Peace out
