I must say that I thought that whole debate with The Two Towers being a reference title to the attacks on the world trade centers was really pathetic. If you read alot of the opinions of the people who started it, their obviously not people who know anything about Tolkien and have no idea that the obvious reason as to why the second movie is called that is because the second book is called Two Towers...duh! These people need to really calm it down. I mean, Tolkien wrote and titled that book decades ago....It was already written in stone, already titled best to fit the following story. Those people are just wanting something to fight about...their obviously to sensitive about 9-11. It was a tragedy but the title of the new movie is no way associated...as we all know. I wish those people did....Their impossible to get calmed down and they wont listen to simple logic. Its obviously called The two Towers because uhhhhh...Tolkien called the second book that...hehe....sorry but that whole debate makes me laugh and somewhat makes me mad..cause they want PJ to change the name. I wonder what he would even call it if he had too...which i dont think he could change the name...doesnt it have tolkien copyrights in some kind of way?
