New Trailer For The Two Towers

Posted by timothy on Monday September 30, 2002 @05:49AM from the admirable dept.

Drakkar writes "As most of you know, the new trailer for the Two Towers was online last night for AOL users, but the link was given on the official site, LordofTheRings.net. It's in real player format. A new trailer with higher quality will be up tonight, midnight ET. This new piece of film is awesome. (the song at the end of the trailer isn't from the TTT soundtrack, it's from the movie Requiem for a Dream)" xTK-421x points to more links: "Now available is the new 3 minute trailer for Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Available here in MOV and here in RM. Reported first at Aint It Cool News."

Really? No Quicktime? by ciryon · 2002-09-30 06:00 · Score: 1, Offtopic

What's this? One of the largest trailer releases of the year, and it's not there as Quicktime? We've just recently seen the appearance of Quicktime 6. A pity.

But, well, I suppose this is better since it can reach more platforms. Have never liked Real, for some reason though.

Nope, the book was written about 50 years ago, well before the NYC Two Towers were built.

I've been wondering about this for a while, and since there's an url associated with the movie, I figured I'd stick this one here.

why on earth hasn't hollywood suggested, and gotten a .movie (.mov) or .film (.flm) suffix for all movie websites? I'm REALLY sick of seeing advertizements with urls attached like "reallylongmoviename_themovie.net" and such.

Plus you could have a directory page (newmovies.mov, or movies.mov) that has links, and possibly reviews/synopses, etc)...

I know it's offtopic, but only sort of...

this is modded flamebait currently, but I for one agree with it. It is just a trailer. About the 5th one on /. too.

Moderators,

If you disagree with something, but it is a valid point, respond, don't moderate flame-bait because you disagree.

thanks

On a related note, there is a difference between a Troll and Flamebait.

Troll = "I'm trying to get people pissed off at me so I can laugh gleefully because they are mad"

Flamebait = "I am Adolph Hitler (or some such) and am genuinely a bigot. Or perhaps I'm so clueless as to be offensive"

Not that it matters.. but remember the difference.
