LOL: I've always thought it was Orthanc and Cirith Ungol. Which two is it???
To: Scott from the Left Coast
You are right. I just never placed much importance on Cirith Ungul... True, it is where the activity is in TTT, but the real enemy is in Barad-dûr. I never gave it a lot of thought, just assumed wrong.
hehehe - but in the trailer, Jackson also has it wrong. Gandalf in the first trailer (Galadriel in the Second) says "there is a union now between the two towers, Orthanc, and Barad-dûr..." I bet it gets corrected before the film comes out.
To: HairOfTheDog
The only reason I thought Cirith Ungol was because it appeared in that volume (where the action was) -- I was thinking shallow, which was apparently the right thing to do!
To: HairOfTheDog
Although... maybe not... The Two Towers pictured in the poster are Orthanc and Barad-dûr, maybe they will just run with it. It is a distinction that will not matter to most folk. And may just confuse them.
To: HairOfTheDog
Heh, heh, heh, maybe they can just call it the three towers.
To: Scott from the Left Coast
Yes... it doesn't really matter how you get the right answer, except in Algebra. see above... I appear to be talking to myself again ;~D
To: HairOfTheDog
I bet it gets corrected before the film comes out.I'll take that bet. Loser has to read Shane (or whatever book PJ-Comix has his minions reading) and post a review of it on PJ's reading club thread. ;^)

But - I then I said they might not correct it in the next post! I can't win!
To: ksen
If we get flamed now, you are going to Took's Corner, and I am not bringin' you any pints or wings!
To: HairOfTheDog
Hey, I didn't ping anybody but you. If PJ is lurking over here and comments on the thread then we will know that he is really a closet SF/Fantasy reader.

.... who we hope has a sense of humor!
I am off for a bit.... be back later!
To: HairOfTheDog
But - I then I said they might not correct it in the next post! I can't win!I posted my offer before I had read your next post. I wouldn't have made the offer if I had read it. So you don't have to take the bet.
To answer a previous question of yours, I think I would have gone after Merry & Pippen. They were probably in the most danger and needed the most immediate assistance. It still would have been a tough decision.

But if Frodo and Sam fail, then saving M&P will be for naught. The whole show will crash and burn anyway. On the other hand, they may be able to sneak in better with fewer footprints. It's a tough one alright!
OK - now I am really off!
To: HairOfTheDog
But if Frodo and Sam fail, then saving M&P will be for naught. The whole show will crash and burn anyway. Why? Sauron was defeated once before when he had the Ring? Why couldn't he have been defeated again with the Ring? I understand it would have been a lot more painful and caused a lot more destruction, but couldn't it have been done? After all Narsil was reforged and there was soon to be a king in Gondor again.

However, I think that Took's Corner is actually in a tavern.

Great stuff Hair!
I never really was part of the discussion on FOTR, so maybe I'll join the freepers for the TTT analysis.
To: maquiladora
I hope you do! Grab your old dog-eared book and read up! - We'll be here for a week!
To: ksen
Why? Sauron was defeated once before when he had the Ring?Oh it makes me tired just thinkin about it! It is all so scary! - Can't we just go home to the Shire and forget the whole thing?
The first part of TTT really drives me nuts. Much as I love the rest of the company, I worry so about Frodo and Sam, and we go so long without news!
To: HairOfTheDog
I'll do my best!
