I'm sorry if this has been brought up before, my thread finding skills might need tweaking....

Every time I mention "The Two Towers" as the name of an upcoming movie to someone unfamiliar with Tolkien, they assume it has something to do with 9-11...

Do you think people are stupid enough to assume the movie's trying to be contoversial, or try to have the title changed, even though the book was written and titled over 50 years ago?

I, for one hope not, and I just can't wait for the seige of Minas Trith scene... :-)

I would have to say yes Jerry, and there was a post about this a while ago. I put it up and this is what I put up in regards to what could be a stupid possible controversy...

I was thinking of something today. The next chapter in the Lord of the Rings trilogy is called "The Two Towers . I was just wondering if prior to release if there is gonna be a problem with the title with some of the PC people...they may want to change the name. I know it is a remote chance, but crazier things have happened in this world...

HA ha hahahahahaha!!!

I'm sure that this will be the next big news item come this christmas. In a Liberal society, why wouldn't it? Why not let the minority's opinion be voiced a majority of the time? Look where it's got us! Kid's can't say the Pledge in school anymore.

What progress.

DEATH TO LIBERALISM!

not only are people that stupid but i see a possible law suit and maybe the movie even getting pushed back based solely on the fact that people need attention at all times no matter how dumb they look or at what cost.

wheres your anger, wheres your fuckin rage?

Know what is scary...is all this liberalism slowly pushing this country towards a seccessionist movement?? I am really starting to question the value of a Republic anymore...
