I am surprised that conspiracy theorists did not latch on to the name " The Two Towers " like a hungry dog to a juicy bone, considering the movie came out relatively shortly after September 11 .
o_O What's with September 11?... Wait, I googled it, now I get what you mean. They better not, all of us fans will send them flying away. But I coincidentally found sarcastic humor of it mocking them:

The "Two Towers' was published in 1954, so I'm not getting what the conspiracy would be.

I meant, sarcastically , that the production for the movie and the choice to film it was made some time shortly before 9 11. EDIT and you know you don't really need something solid and reasonable for many to find a conspiracy.

I know the Oscar winning special effects director on LOTR, did you realize that Peter Jackson started the LOTR movies about 6 years before they were released? So no, there was no connection at all.

But that is the whole point, conspiracy theorist ignore all the facts in reaching their conclusion and form these unsupportable half-baked conclusions. People who research carefully before forming an opinion are not considered conspiracy theorists.

I have to agree with you on that, I never heard of the LOTR conspiracy. But like you said, the stupider the conspiracy is, the more people will believe it. :biggrin:

But, I don't even get what the "Two Towers" conspiracy theory would be. 911 was orchestrated by Saruman?

The conspiracy would be "Peter Jackson knew it was coming". I think WWGD is implying a conspiracy among conspiracy theorists to supress conspiracy theories around The Two Towers/The Twin Towers so that they have plausible deniability when accused of seeing conspiracies everywhere. They (9/11 Truthers in particular, but also more generally) can all point to the lack of TT conspiracies and say "look at the obvious opportunity for conspiracy nuts, which we didn't take! Proof that we're not nuts!"

It's at least as plausible as "all the people in on the moon landings have kept quiet for their entire lives". :wink:

Precisely. You have seen clearly through the machinations of the illuminati and the (fill in favorite group). Now I am suspicious about how you could have know about this...

It's all there in the public domain if you look carefully. Little clues, probably left by Wexa Digital whistleblowers. For example, one of the towers falls before the other, just like the WTC. And at the beginning of Two Towers, the nine members of the Fellowship of the Ring are reduced (Gandalf and Boromir) to seven, a clear reference to Building Seven.

This is kind of fun. Life is a lot easier when you don't sanity check your results...

Ever watch Brad Meltzer's decoded? It seems like the guy is asking to be beaten, by pissing of the mafia, the vatican, etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brad_Meltzer's_Decoded
An interesting show at times, but seems he is looking for trouble...

Why would he give into the Towerati's attempt to make him buy tickets? do you work for the Towerati group anyway?

I saw a picture of Frodo before the movie was released and I saw that it wasn't Frodo. It wasn't even a Hobbit. So, I didn't want to have the books ruined for me.

Typical Towerati comment. I question your true motives.

Ah, I see. The movies are good. Watch them! I recommend them.

You don't understand. I made my own superior version of those movies in my head when I read the books as a young teenager. They can't be topped, and they would be ruined by having to view an inferior version.

You, on the other hand, won't be able to film your own in-head version now, if you read the books, because you've been corrupted by exposure to a pre-existing set of movies.

My wife and I once went to an exhibition of Lord of the Rings costumes and props. My favourite was a little gimmick - a green screen booth with a pair of benches at different scales, a pair of marks to look at, and a pair of cameras at different distances. The end result is that we have a pair of photos of us sat in Gandalf's cart, one of us hobbit sized and the other wizard sized, smiling at each other and driving through the Shire.

I envy the people who go crazy with these sport events like March Madness. All they need for a party is a TV and some chips.

You don't know that! You don't know me! I can picture it if I try! :sorry: I can picture it if I try. :cry:

I'm just kidding, can't argue with that. :-p
