Re: [ZION] The Two Towers (LOTR)
I'm not a Tolkien fan -- nothing negative. I did read The Hobbit years ago but just never got around to any of the trilogy. So maybe this is funny, and maybe it isn't, but there was a cartoon in the latest New Yorker. You don't really need to see it to get it, I wouldn't think.

RE: [ZION] LOTR Two Towers
Not me, but someone I knew in Kansas was named Eowyn. Her parents were LOTR fanatics. She had this wonderful long, wavy red hair that I just envied!

[ZION] The Two Towers (LOTR)
Okay, then let me give you this test and see how well you really remember them... 1) What is Gollum's real name? 2) What is the name of the king's evil advisor? 3) What is an Ent? 4) Who is Gollum's friend that helps him? 5) How does Frodo escape the tower? 6) How many palantiri are there total, and how many are known of by the end of book 3? 7) What army does Aragorn raise to help him win a major battle? That should do it. If you can answer these questions, then I agree that you remember the books remarkably well. My wife says no cheating by peeking in a book for the answers, or asking any other source. Also, if you send the answers to this list, make sure to warn everyone that there is spoiler information involved.

RE: [ZION] The Two Towers (LOTR)
-Gary- Also, if you send the answers to this list, make sure to warn everyone that there is spoiler information involved. Good call. WARNING!! This message contains SPOILER INFORMATION!! Don't read it unless you already know everything it says! In which case, reading it is superfluous. But then, I'm talking to a bunch of people that participate in an email discussion list, so I'm being redundant. 1) What is Gollum's real name? Mullog. 2) What is the name of the king's evil advisor? Francie Ducros. 3) What is an Ent? The wife of an Ooncle. 4) Who is Gollum's friend that helps him? That would be Mr. Valium. 5) How does Frodo escape the tower? The firemen get him with their ladder rig. 6) How many palantiri are there total, and how many are known of by the end of book 3? The same number as before I got here. If you've lost some of your palantiri, don't try to pin the blame on me. 7) What army does Aragorn raise to help him win a major battle? An army of those fast-growing Star Wars clones. Just kidding! He probably just raised himself some army Ents. As you know, they are social ensects, and can thrive in one of those glass-sided Ent farms. That should do it. If you can answer these questions, then I agree that you remember the books remarkably well. About time you made that admission. (By the way, which books are we talking about?)

[ZION] The Two Towers (LOTR)
Unless you've read at least two of the LOTR books this year to prepare for it, I don't think you are really excited about the movie coming out. Last year to prepare for the first movie, I read the Hobbit and Fellowship. This year, I've read both Two Towers and Return of the King (I was going to wait until next year, but just couldn't leave Sam hanging there for an entire year. Won't say anything more so as not to give away the ending of this movie). BTW, I can now be classified as a Harry Potter fan. I read all 4 HP books in 8 days, books 3 and 4 in the last three days (and book 4 is 750 pages). I'm really impressed. JK Rowling's first book is a little weak (movie is better, though the book explains a lot), but the rest of the books are much stronger. I can't believe I'm going to have to wait for book 5 to see what comes next, now that Voldemoort is as strong as he is.

RE: [ZION] The Two Towers Anticipation
John Redelfs: Have they ever done this with the Star Wars saga? ___ The Saturday before Episode I came out, a local theater showed all three of the original Star Wars films (IV, V, and VI) on the same day, beginning at 1, 4, and 7 pm. One ticket (at the standard price) would get you in to all three shows, or any parts of the three you wished to see. Popcorn was free at the theater.

[ZION] The Two Towers
(no spoilers in this email) Yes, I will be taking a few hours off work on the Friday after The Two Towers comes out to go see it. That way I can get in at the matinee price of $8.50 instead of the evening price of $13.50. Once again, I will be taking my oldest son. My wife wants to come to this first viewing with me. Last year I just went with my son because I didn't want her distracting me with a barrage of questions about the movie. What to do? Do I let her come with me to the first viewing? For those who have not read the book but have seen the movie, The Two Towers is far more action packed. Your senses will reel at the visual and aural onslaught. Not _my_ senses of course. I will be drinking it in with a large funnel. Since the second movie was shot at the same time as the first, the feel is essentially seamless. This is something never before seen in any major motion picture series. In fact, has any set of movies ever been shot in this way before? = Mark Gregson [EMAIL PROTECTED] = -- ___ Get your free email from http://mymail.operamail.com Powered by Outblaze // /// ZION LIST CHARTER: Please read it at /// /// http://www.zionsbest.com/charter.html /// / ==^ This email was sent to: archive@jab.org EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aaP9AU.bWix1n.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^
