*TTT - Overall Impressions

[Gandalf_theGrey]

<B>Birdland's</B> sentiments here in this thread are the ones that best echo my own, and to a lesser degree, <B>hama1</B> speaks for me as well. * bows in appreciation of the eloquence of these two *<P><BR>Now here's what I noticed: Well, it only happened twice, but it happened twice in several hours ... so is it a fluke, or an indication of a larger trend?<P>I wonder how strongly the average moviegoer in the United States, as opposed to the average intense Tolkien fan of the sort found here at Barrow Downs, relates The Two Towers to September 11th?<P>I heard two guys today in two separate environments refer to the film as "The Twin Towers!" In the first case, I happened to overhear someone mention the movie as "The Twin Towers" in the theater as we waited for the film to begin. In the second case, I met a neighbor in my parking lot. Seeing me in my unmistakable grey cloak (which seemed to have an effect opposite to invisibility today), he struck up a conversation when I explained I'd just seen "The Movie." His response was that he too would have to go see "The Twin Towers" soon.<P>Gandalf the Grey
