What is it with some people? Are they so thick that they think from their backsides?
That New York-an GMTV presenter (Jackie Brambles - I could be wrong) went as far as saying that 'The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers' should not have been called that because of the Twin Towers disaster.
Does she even realise the book/film isn't about 'twin towers' but two seperate towers? Does she even realise the book was wrote and named a long time before the World Trade Center buildings were even thought of?
Shows how much research she does!
Somebody on Petitions online also protested against the name of the second part of the LoTR trilogy by starting his own petition. That petition has since been removed.
Excuse me if I seem insenitive about September 11th in this topic. It's just that The Two Towers is completely unrelated to the disaster and it's pathetic that people have tried to get the film renamed. I'm sure Tolkien did it purposely you know, writing a book featuring two towers, as he obviously new that fifty years later, two tall buildings that had not yet been built in Tolkien's time would be attacked.

Okay let me see...which would I rather see at Xmas....
1) A fantasy story where good and evil clashes, a ring has the power to destroy all in it's way and if anyone dies I know they never really existed.
2) A real life based film where roughly 2500 die in an hour, jetliners smash into buildings, aircrew are cut to death and people leap from buildings whilst everyone helplessly watches.....
9/11 Doesn't need a film, it needs a documentary.....maybe in five or so years they can do a film because hopfully by then Bin Laden will be brought to justice, one way or the other.

LOTR rules and always has and will for many moons to come. Jacky Bramble is a compleat idiot anyway everyone knows that even the other channels that take the micky out of her.
The tower towers were as been stated to seperate towers leagues apart bet theese idiots never even read the book. That is no disrespect to the disaster vicims as some of my friends in the USA were caught up in it and where lucky to get out alive.

I'm with Vottanator on this one. LOTR was, and will be, sweet. Also, having seen the trailer for Twin Towers, i hope this is sweet also, but accurate. If this is another Hollywood film gloryfieing the US, I'LL GO APE!
