Two Towers Teaser Trailer
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."
Since we saw that they were not 100% true to the book in the first episode (Tom who?) they will probably resequence things a bit to make the movie more watchable. I prefer this since a three hour movie is a different experience than a 400 page book, and each should be done properly according to the merits of their respective formats.
Before I saw the first installment of LoTR, I was in the middle of reading "The Hobbit." After I saw LoTR, I immediately ran out and bought the trilogy and finished it off in a couple of weeks. After reading the books I thought that reading them in advance would ruin the experience of watching the movie (I know... seems backwards).
But, what actually happened was the fact that I knew what was going on in the trailer and seeing my mind's eye's pictures on the screen was powerful. Very moving - I actually care for and know the characters well enough to have an emotional response to what happens to them on the screen.
I think it has something to do with the fact that LoTR has stayed very close to the books. I am more excited than ever to see the next installment. I think I will be more impressed as the series goes on. (if that is possible)

Hi! I'm from the MPAA! I'm here to install rights-management software in all of your digital devices!
Fuck you, you fascist bastard!
No, really, it's the law now. All that money you spent seeing Spiderman and that movie about the gay Hobbits? We used it to lobby congress.
I'm boycotting you!
Are you sure? Here, look! Another Hobbit movie!
OOOOH! Here's more money! Please sodomize me!
