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."

    What I want to know about Peter Jackson is "what is it about him that makes his works so utterly astonishing?"

    The fact that despite it being very poor he can still be regarded as some sort of cimema god, that's what. He clearly had not even read FotR when the first film was done and his interviews display a total lack of understanding or interest of the source material. Astonishing is the word.
