Saw FotR Sunday night at the local $2 theater (the show was sold out), and yes, the Two Towers footage was attached. Harry Potter was showing on another screen, and out of curiosity I peeked in and it was less than 1/3 full!

I was sitting near a group of young girls (probably about 12-13 yrs old). After the TTT preview, they were all excitedly chattering with each other, which I usually would have found annoying, but found amusing this time. They were making comments like "Did you see Treebeard?" and "Helm's Deep looks soooo perfect!" The general consensus was that 7 months is too long to wait. It kind of gives me hope for the future that there are those young'uns that recognize the quality of LotR.

Glad to hear the report, ecurb! I was about 11 the first time I read LotR, and even so I knew it was the best thing I'd ever read... most teen girls may be into boy bands, but there are a few who will grow up to be Hobbit-friends.

It does endure, doesn't it? Still playing locally at major theaters.

The general consensus was that 7 months is too long to wait.

Which is in total contrast to my not minding at all that I had to wait 24 years for Attack of the Clones.
