the two towers

Does Eowyn even get to have any lines in that book? I remember she being a mute in Two Towers book, until Return of the King book happened. Where she got more lines to say, and a falling in love with Aragorn, before he politely dismisses that affection. But in Two Towers. From my memory...

Link Rather amateurish article, judging by the author's frequent failure to use apostrophes, as in the paragraph above; odd for an MSN article, imho (way to promote literacy, msn). I don't how if I have an opinion about which movie is the most book-accurate but in case anyone is curious and...

In The Two Towers movie by PJ, Orthanc and Barad-Dûr are clearly the two towers in question. But in the book, I can't really think of an instance where it's actually defined which 2 towers are the Two Towers (this is turning into a kind of tounge twister). There are only four significant towers...

When Frodo and Sam got round to comparing notes with Merry and Pippin over a pint (new innovation brought in by Pippin) or three at The Green Dragon. I think Frodo and Sam would conclude they had the worst of it. Apart from North Ithilien (which wasn't as it was before) the terrain they...

"I am Gandalf, Gandalf the White, but Black is mightier still.'"? What did he mean by this? Is he implying that Sauron is stronger?

Hi everybody, I've been a fan of Tolkien since before I could read, as The Hobbit was my first bedtime story. In fact, in high school I would hide The Lord of the Rings books under my desk or behind my textbook at read them. My teachers knew they couldn't seperate me from them so they gave...

I'm currently re-reading LOTR for the first time in many years, and I've been struck this time by how in Towers and ROTK, Tolkien chose to group all the chapters about Frodo and Sam in one half of each book and all the chapters about the other members of the Fellowship in the other half instead...

Hi everyone, Here's something that's always puzzled me. Near the end of The Two Towers, when Frodo and Sam are in Osgiliath, there comes a point at which Frodo says, "It's calling to him, Sam. His Eye is almost on me." Sam replies, "Hold on, Mr. Frodo. You'll be all right," but after that we...

Today being 9-11, many people are recalling their reaction to the losses at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania. One comment reflected on the reluctance of Peter Jackson to publicize the second installment of his first trilogy, as it was called "The Two Towers", and there...

Hi All, I just received a leather bound copy of The Lord of the Rings, and I have just started on The Two Towers. I am currently on The Riders of Rohan. It is very enjoyable! My copy is off Etsy, from a fellow named StagHeart. It was $100, but definitely worth it. I'm so happy I can now start...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0449010/ At least we can say that people are inspired to remake LOTR under other names; too bad Peter Jackson had to ruin the best name in fantasy genre. This looks like an Anne McCaffrey dragonriders, under another name....And dont give me **** about similarity to...

Which are they and why? How does the Two Towers compare to the other two volumes for you? Try to narrow it down to 3, or 5 at the most...

I saw on local TV around the launch of LotR: TT, something about two Victorian water towers in or near Birmingham, UK being the inspiration for Tolkien and his 'Two Towers'. Does anyone know more about this? My apologies if this has already been discussed, I did a quick search and couldn't...

Sorry for the short notice, but TTT is being shown SEPTEMBER 18 in high definition on the Starz Action cable channel on Comcast Cable. In Los Angeles/Hollywood: Channel 199 at 5:50-9 PM PDST. Again, my apologies for the short notice. Barley

:confused: The part in Two Towers I am really confused about is when Merry & Pippin are alone in Fangorn Forest, and Merry is drinking something that makes him sound like a tree and he even grows taller, then Pippin grabs the jug and starts drinking and the same thing happens to him, then they...

I'm rereading the LOTR and I forgot how bad they screwed up the movie. There are more pointless changes than in the FOTR, I mean we all picked up on the Elves and Osgiliath scense, but WTF? There are so many pointless additions! Things like the Ring with Aragorn, and why did they skip the Fords...

Previously, when I have reached the end of TTT, I have been startled, in the way I was startled at Theodred's funeral, by a sudden onslaught of "song", and have immediately pressed the "off" button. I managed to tolerate a couple of minutes of it today, and soon had the impression that the...

When Gandalf fell in the abyss in both Fellowship & Two Towers, did anyone notice that when he said: "Fly you fools..." He fell, Frodo cryed: "NOOOO!!!"; in TT, BEFORE Gandalf fell, Frodo cryed: "NOOOO!!!!", THEN Gandalf fell into the abyss...(in the movie) Did anyone notice? I wonder why...

Ok, I'm not sure what I pressed or anything, but for some reason, in the middle of the TTT Extended DVD, it jumped to a special, hidden part or something. :confused: I got Peter Jackson's face telling me congrats, and that I'd just found some hidden part. Well, the hidden part I found was...
