So, I was on the train on my way home for Thanksgiving Weekend and I get the best message ever...<BR>I went to check my voice mail & I get a message saying that I won the contest I entered a short while back. The contest: To see an advanced showing of <I>The Two Towers</I> this Monday!!!<BR>I never win anything! This is so strange, yet exciting! I can't believe it!<BR>I will be happy to answer questions about it that people may have by personal messaging. I won't put any spoilers on this page though. If you have something you are dying to know feel free to ask me in a personal message & I will talk to you on a one to one basis. I don't want to ruin it for those who don't want it ruined...<BR>Well, I just wanted to share my excitement and amazement... I will now go dance gleefully down the street!

Wow! Lucky you! I've never won anything either (though Ed McMahon owes our family $11 Million, or at least the letter said so! And I <I>know</I> that he wouldn't lie!), until last week. Nothing to do with Lord of the Rings, but my brother, sistr and I all worked together and wound up winning an autographed copy of <I>Desecration</I> by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, as well as a complete set of the audio dramas! (Desecration was on the top of the New York Times' Bestseller fiction list for several weeks)<P>So, congradulations to both of us!
Congratulations to the both of you!<P>Knight, I was registered for the same contest over on the Left Behind offical site. Are you a member over there?? PM me and we will talk.

Prepare to be inundated with PM's, Tigerlily! I'll save my list of "gots-to-knows" for after you've seen it, though. Don't worry! I won't ask for detailed descriptions, just simple yes and no answers. Blink once for yes and twice for no....

Congrats, Tigerlily! I don't suppose you could post a new topic giving a description, could you? Or would that be violating some sort of secrecy rule? (Since studios tend to be fairly paranoid sometimes). If you're not able to do that, I'll just ask my question in advance: Was it as good as FOTR? (Yes or No). . Have fun, OK?

Kalimac... I was thinking of posting a review in two different versions: spoiler & nonspoiler. I can post them at my website and link to them from here. That way people who don't want to be spoiled don't have to be.<P>Diamond18 - I'll be waiting for your questions with bells on! <P>Congrats Knight of Gondor!

Wow! I'm tempted to ask you to tell us the entire movie on monday. But I don't want to spoil all of it. I will make a nice list of questions for you to answer. <P>You can tell us where the movie ends.

Congratulations Tigerlily!. You may get to see it first, but then you'll have to wait 16 days to see it again. And you'll have to put up with everyone saying "No! No! Don't tell me!" when you try to talk about it. Think of the pressure! <P>I know: sour grapes. Have a great time at the "premiere".<P>P.S. - I wanted to enter the AOL contest to see it one day early, but it won't be offered in Columbus, Ohio. "Everyone always leaves us off the old lists."

My one extremely jealous friend keeps telling me, "If you tell me anything, anything at all....!!!!!" I am not even allowed to giggle about it around her.<P>Don't worry, I will not just post spoilers here, people must ask and get them personally. I would hate to spoil it for someone who has been doing without spoilers for so long.<P>Thank you all for being so nice & congratulating! This place rocks!

Darn, and with my luck, I would've won. (It's no joke; I've had more than person tell me just to skip college and get a ticket to vegas.)

Another jealous person here, but congrats anyways. Please just tell us that it is just as good as the fellowship; I need the reasurance. Oh yeah, I haven't won anything I got to keep. If I won something, I got screwed and someone else got it. Never let that happen to any of you.<P>Have fun on monday...

Go you!! *raises hand* I have a question when you see it... you know how PJ took the first chapter of TTT (Boromir and all that) and stuck it at the end of the FotR movie, well, could you tell us if he does the same thing for TTT? Thank you so much in advance and have a great time!

Congrats! I've never won anything except for a stupid educational computer game from a school drawing.
I'd like to know where the movie ends, but nothing more. I must know if Shelob will be in this movie or not!

Well, if ya'll are so desperate, there's always my Support Group post! <P>And as for all of you who have never won anything...c'mon, you mean Ed McMahon NEVER sent you any letters?<P>Durelin, you're likely to get a reprimand from the Barrow-Downs moderator if you use language like that...and most of us don't appreciate it either.

That is great!! Think what an advantage you'll have in the movies forum now. All those questions....Will PJ do this? Will PJ do that?<P>Now we will all sit quietly and respectfully waiting for the last word from Tigerlilly!<P>sharon
