IS "TWO TOWERS" TITLE INSENSITIVE? May9.-Some movie fans are blasting the next "Lord of the rings" flick,charging that it exploits the world trade centre tragedy.The next installment in the series is called "The Two Towers",and a group calling itself Those Affected By September 11 is potitioning director Peter Jackson and studio New Line Cinema to change the name "to something less offensive". "The title is clearly meant to refer to the attacks on the world trade centre," notes the petition posted at petitiononline.com and signed by more than 1,200 people "it is unforgivable that this should be allowed to happen". The title is actually the name of the second book in the J.R.R. Tolkien trilogy on which the films are based,but even when this was pointed out to the petitioners,they maintained that the title of the film should be changed. Some people,however,left comments on the petition suggesting that the petitioners are overreacting"I think that they should rename New York too,because every time I hear "New York"it makes me think of that day,and it makes me cry" noted one."That and the words "world","trade"and"centre" should be removed from our language as well." " New Line didn`t respond to requests for comment,but Jackson has said that after the Sept.11 attacks,he considered changing the name of the second film,but decided against it saying,"Tolkien fans would kill us." NBC How fucked up is that...... [and yes i typed it out,so sorry for any spelling mistakes]:) |

Anyone who seriously believes that should be cast into the fiery pits of Mordor. |

this is rediculous... the Two Towers was obviously written WAY before the september 11th thing happened... |

Idiots!!! It is scary how stupid people can be sometimes.... |

Lets rename New York as Trumpton , as the new name won't remind me of what happened there on Sept 11th . Lets rename George Bush as Basil Brush so we forget it quicker too. In fact lets have two successive September 10ths ; Sept 10th part I and Sept 10th part II , followed by September 12th. Or just rename September as "Neverremember". what do U think ? |

world trade center thing was bollucks anyway, about 2000 people died, everyone makes it out as if it was a fucking humanitarian disaster. im not being insensitive, of course my heart goes out to all the people who lost a friend/relative in the attack, and i know any number of poeple dying in such a horrific way is shocking, but there are thousands more kids dying of famine in africa and half a million kids dead due to US sanctions in iraq etc. we should concentrate on these also. however we ever hear about is sep.11 i dont mean to offend anyone and anyway tolkien wrote them books ages ago. |

I would hate that, being born on Neverremember the 15th would SUCK SUCK SUCK. hahah. Sido Dyas: that is frightening that people can be so terribly stupid etc etc. |

LMAO thats just so stupid.. I do think the idea to rename George Bush to Basil Brush is a good one.. seriously. |
||||||||

bush hits saddam with a brush......"BOOM,BOOM." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think it is that other poeple are dying elsewhere. i think we hear alot about sept. 11th because it happened to the untouchable! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

What the hell? People have to lighten up... I'm sure Tolkien wrote his book with the idea in mind of offending the victims of something that would happen in 2001. What a jerk, that Tokien. Tsk tsk, for shame. |

we shouldn't build any towers either. and modify all the existing towers so they don't look like towers any more. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
How about the TWO UNMENTIONABLES?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think it would of been appalling if they'd changed the name of the film!! It would be like admitting defeat to those terrorist scumballs! |
||||||||

aphex twin will also have to change his name due to "twin",it may cause offence,therefor there shall no longer be any twins in the world as well,they shall be hunted and 1 will be killed[if just born,1 will be drowned]so that no will be no more anguish for the friends/familys/victoms of the tragedy. |

excuse my spelling mistakes |

there should be no more 'tower' pieces in chess game, too! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
besides, they come by two; the twin black towers and the twin white towers! it's 2x more affecting for the victims! horror. banish chess game! we should banish every word with to 'l's, too. the word "parallelogram", for example, should be renamed to "paralelogram". because the two 'l's look like two towers. and we shouldn't put any double exclamation marks (!!), they're even worse because they show two towers with a gap into both of them, symbolizing the impacts of the planes! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
LOL,and al this from the country of freedom/independance/freedom of speech etc.etc. I removed the double l out of respect. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
at least it's not called "The Place Where there Used to be Two Towers But Evil Elves Flew Giant Birds Into Them" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Fuck all that. If you can be offended by something as vague as that, you would be crying your eyes out if I met you in person and told you how I felt about you. If you are offended, thats up to you to deal with shxt like that. |

its a good thing that they didnt rename the film, because it would have been the gayest fucking thing in the entire world. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
we should rename "Towers" to "Vertical Patriot Casings", or "VPC's" and Jackson should change the movie to The Two Bushes, in honor of our American dynasty |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

to be "the gayest fucking thing in the entire world" would mean that it was so fucking gay you had to invent a new kind of way to say that it was "the gayest fucking thing in the entire world". now, with my friends and i, if you were to meet us, nothing we'd say would make any sense to you because we mostly communicate with inside jokes. one of them is how we came up with levels of "gayness". first, of course, it starts off with "gay". second, obviously, "fucking gay". next, here's where it might get tricky, "to the brim". and lastly, "to the brim and overflowing". assuming you already know how and when to use the terms "gay" and "fucking gay", i will attempt to explain the other two new ways; "to the brim" = you have two "gay" guys fucking and when they cum they fill their partners asshole "to the brim". if you can stomach (no pun intended) the implications of where the phrase stems from, then you can appropriately add it in to your everyday insults. so if you think that whatever is "the gayest thing in the entire world" you can insert (again no pun intentional) "to the brim and overflowing". |

"It would be like admitting defeat to those terrorist scumballs!" I think Jedi Chris hit the nails head there! Anyone seen the Southpark episode "Free Hat" ? It's about these kind of issues. Its great , they remake "Saving privat Ryan" and replace all the guns with walkie talkies and the word "Terrorist" with "Hippie" haha! George Lucas gets some too because of his remaking of the original starwars. I love southpark, mostly because most of the creators values and critisism on things are mine too . |

for god's sake.. this book was written nearly 50 years. I was totally disgusted at what happened on 11/09. but does that mean we have to creep around every subject that relates to towers and the number 2. Let the USA have their way and let them change it over there, but in Britain it should stay as the TWO towers not the twin towers, maybe malaysia should take down their skyscraper as it's built on a two tower basis.. Please let us stop this idiocy as it is ONLY a name of a FILM. |

I have seen a petition floating around online asking for the title to be changed *rolls her eyes* |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
They had to change the title of 8 Legged Freaks from Arac Attack cause it "Sounded" like iraqu attack !? I mean come on !! Tip-toeing around the subject is not going to make the slightes bit of difference, it creates more talk of it !! |

Oh god!! ignorant things like these makes me soo mad!! Its like the katholics and condoms.... |

The biggest terrorist on this planet is f#cking george w. Bush and his monkey dad... |

I'd agree with Jedi Chris and Sido here - changing the name would be one more (though small and rather insignificant) thing to give the terrorists. What was done was last year was horrible and is horrible, but the rest of what resultantly happens this year is just as big as we make it. There are many twin sets of towers in the world, I lived next to a pair last year, and we were okay with not linking them to New York, or changing their name. |

oh my fucking god. that has to be the most idiotic thing i have ever read. the argument itself is stupid because THATS THE NAME OF THE GODDAMN BOOK! It was written in the fifties. some people are just idiots. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Obviously they are not going to touch the title since its coming out soon(oh my god, oh my god !!!) But its insanely funny how people think these days =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i also have to say ppl have to lighten up and not try and relate everything to sept 11th... it is really getting out of hand. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh they should release it on september the 11th, see what happens =oz |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
good idea. cut the wait down by three months too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
simply amazing! the replies in this topic are the some of the best ever! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ohhh Evol darlin' lighten up....As for brining it out 3 months eariler wouldn't work for me I'm used to seeing it around Decemeber, its like my own present. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eh i was just kidding. that would be pretty tasteless. i still stick to my opinion that the people against the films title are fuckin idiots. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what?! i was being serious! this is the most laughs i've had on this board for a long time. i mean i laugh all the time but not constantly like this one made me do! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well the situation IS insane. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
we should take out the number 2, just start with one and skip right over to three, as a respect to the families |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
we should just fuckin' invent a new language and numeric system all together becuase all the words in the english language remind me of how people were describing what happened that day maybe this time we could become more efficient with the new ways.... |
