LOTR: The Two Towers

Let's try to mash all the LOTR submissions into one. Reviews: comingsoon.net, Empire Online (UK), CNN, Slate, Salon. The LA Times has a story about animating Gollum which we can't link to because it requires registration. Lord Satri writes "Ents, elves and mages being on every orc's lips, new versions of Tales Of Middle-Earth are available. It is an open source, one player and online multiplayer game. It is ported to many OS's. Yeah, no terrific graphics, but the game is really worthwhile. It is based on the famous roguelike Angband (variants here). Faithful to Tolkien's writings."

    Maybe it's just me, but I don't think that makes much sense. If you don't like registration required links, then why not stop linking to the NYT? Is there some sort of business relationship, or is it just a matter of not feeling strongly enough about required registration to stop linking to a large potential source of stories?

    How can we continue to believe in a just universe and freedom to eat crackers if we have no ale?
