The Two Towers Hits the Net
tfreport writes "The Drudge Report is reporting that The Two Towers has already began to be file swapped online. This is four months before the movie is set to debut! An executive in New York promised if this is indeed part of the film that they would be punishing anyone and everyone that downloads the film or distributes it to the full extent of the law."

:-O
*shivers in fear*
Hopefully, no executives from New York dressed in black will come into my innocent house in northern Sweden to punish me to the maximum extent of the law.

Even thought we have no idea a) where this trailer is available for download, b) how to legally obtain the names of individuals who DO download the trailer, and c) whether the information is legit or not.
Actually, I don't really have any desire to see a crappy copy beforehand. The first film was good enough that I'd like the full-on experience of seeing it in the theater. But I will go ahead and see if I can find the trailer somewhere, just for kicks.
...the release of "The Two Towers" was brought forward to September 11.

Executive: Look! There's another one...
Judge: *sigh*
Executive: I dunno who this 'Peer' guy is, but he's good at covering up his tracks.
There is a little know obscure religious holiday called "christmas" or something. Many of hollywood's people are secret worshippers of this fanatical cult and they insist on celebrating it by making the release dates of the biggest movies coincide with it. Strange but true.

If it's 4 months before the release now, I'm going to be able to see it a full *3 months* before the rest of you suckers!
Laugh all you want, but I know whose door *you'll* be knocking on, come September 28th, once the download is complete!

I think all this nonsens about ring to be vastly inflated, I was dragged along to see number 1 and wasn't impressed. I'll be dragged a long to see number 2 and i suspect I won't be to impressed there either.
And whats with this supposed power of that ring? I haven't seen any special powers, ok it makes Bilbo invisible, but that's it apparently! Does it shoot laser beams! Does it move mountains! Can it make them fly (hell no, they have to walk!) - face it, its just a cheap trinket Sauron had crafted to impress the chicks down at Ye Olde Drunken Dragon Cafe.
Oh, and want a real spoiler? The ring did it!

If someone need to reach you in an emergency they can call the lobby and have someone get you or they can page you.
That's even worse. I own and operate a theatre. I get calls once in a while, "Hello, can I talk to Mrs. Jones please? She said she was going to the show tonight."
Now what? I don't know what Mrs. Jones looks like, and even if I did there are 150 people in the auditorium, the auditorium is dark and everyone is facing away from you so all you can see is the back of everyone's head. Would you like me to interrupt the movie for everyone, "Paging Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones please come to the lobby for an important phone call!"
I tell people that we don't have a facility to page someone but if they would like they can come to the theatre and take a look and see if they can find the person they are looking for. 99.99% of the time the response is, "Well, I guess I will wait until later then."
In my entire life running theatres I have delibertately interrupted a movie only three times. Once was when the police showed up to arrest someone who was believed to "hiding out" in the theatre. Once was when someone's car was on fire right in front of the door. And the third time was when the police and Family Services came in with an apparently abandoned/neglected child who said that Mommy was at the show.
