Spoiler alert! These new pics from The Two Towers were actually posted at TORN yesterday, but their server was so slow I didn't try to post them till some of the load was off... Today I will risk a couple... they are fabulous! (There are also a lot of Extended Version FoTR pics in there - They are all mixed together, so you have to decipher a bit what you are looking at!
Ring of Spears... The Riders of Rohan!
Someone is messin' with my Frodo! - Faramir I would guess! - The nerve!
This shot makes my blood boil!
They are still slower than a snail I see... so here is a link to the rest: (they are a bit like childbirth... slow to load, but worth the wait! (sorry Jen)) Ringer Spy Lutz's Scrapbook

Did y'all (who have pre-ordered FotR from Amazon.com) get a precioussss Email today that they lowered the price to $17.97 -- down from $27.98 -- for the DVD? That made me happy!
To: GretchenEE
NO! - I didn't order it from them... was gonna get it at blockbuster because they have a $27 deal that includes 10 DVD rentals later.... What a deal you got! - Cool!
To: HairOfTheDog; All
It shouldn't be too late to pre-order it from Amazon if you wanted to get one for someone as a gift ... the orders don't ship till August 6, I think, so if anyone is interested, go to amazon.com and enter FotR DVD and see what the price is for a pre-order.
To: GretchenEE
Man... those pictures up there are still loading slower than a snail.
TORN Needs to upgrade!
I don't have anyone to order it for, but I am sure the lurkers will appreciate the tip!

QUICKIE SPOILER POST! don't want to spend a long time posting cuz I haven't even watched it yet!
Better go get this download from

They are calling it "The Narrated Trailer from the DVD NEW!"
Split into two parts 1 and 2... it is a behind the scenes look that will go along with the DVD to be released Tuesday... for those that cannot wait! This is different from the clip that was available yesterday.
To download it right click part one and two seperately and "Save target as..."
To: HairOfTheDog
OK! - Whew!
Spoiler alert! 2J! - We were wondering over in the hole when this picture became available what could possibly be ticking Frodo off here? Well now it has words! - from that clip!
"It will not save Gondor... Only destroy"
Copy this link... they are limiting linking and the picture will fail:

Correction to the quote/caption above:
"The Ring will not save Gondor... It has only the power to destroy"
Frodo is gonna break my heart isn't he? he looks terrible.

"A fan asked about the Ents storming Isengard and PJ confirmed that we will see this. "Oh yes" he said." TTT promises to have some great fight scenes...I cannot wait, but I reckon the release of the FoTR DVD will have to tide me over for now.

Cinescape Scoop Jackson talks next two LORD OF THE RINGS |
Frodos wild ride
|
Dateline: Friday, August 2, 2002 |
By: CHRISTOPHER ALLAN SMITH AND ERIC MORO |
By: |
While talking recently to CINESCAPEs own Eric Moro, LORD OF THE RINGS director Peter Jackson teased the dark journey fans of the film trilogy Frodo will be going on in the next two installments, and why he might not even be the hero of the trilogy by the end.
What basically happens is [the films] become darker and they emotionally go places, which is very interesting, Jackson said. As Frodos journey with the Ring continues, the Ring starts to affect him more. Theres an interesting dynamic that is going to happen in these films where in the first movie, Frodo is the audience. Hes the Everyman character. In the second film, THE TWO TOWERS, the Ring starts to act on him in a much stronger way. By the third film, Frodo has such a burden to carry and is starting to behave in such a strange way that I think the empathy of the audience will switch to Sam, who is accompanying Frodo on this journey. Frodo becomes so troubled by this Ring that we are now going to be looking at this story through Sams eyes by the time THE RETURN OF THE KING comes out, because we can no longer really go there with Frodo because he has his own tortuous journey that he takes on. It will be very interesting to see the three films together because theres going to be this switch as each film becomes more intense.
Granted, for those of you whove read the books this might not be much of a shock, but for those who havent read them, its a sweet glimpse.
For more on THE TWO TOWERS and THE RETURN OF THE KING, pick up a copy of CINESCAPEs SEQUELMANIA at newsstands now.

Certainly!
To: HairOfTheDog
downloading the DVD trailers now ...
Question: In your opinion is it worth it to get the Platinum DVD ($60) with all the extra stuff now, or better to get just the movie ($20) and wait for the super fantabulous ultimate collection of the entire movie ... in 2 years?

Jeepers I don't even know what the Platinum DVD is! Tell me?
I am buying the regular wide screen version now and will also be buying the Extended version in November. I imagine I will repeat the same behavior next year, though I will probably still feel a bit abused! ;~D
To: fnord
Those DVD trailers you are downloading now ARE really cool, BTW, you will enjoy them!
To: HairOfTheDog
very tasty trailers ...
Platinum Edition DVD has 4 discs, with lots of behind the scenes stuff. I just noticed it is the version to be released in November, duh. I think I am like you, I will get the movie now, and the extended version later. And of course the super extended version in 2004 :-)
