How could he be so thoughtless!
Reno @ 6:11 am EST


Okay, so I'm a bit late to pick up on this petition (being as 3598 people have signed already!) but I thought it should be brought to your attention. There are people who feel that Peter Jackson is being incredibly insensitive in naming his film 'The Two Towers'; Or could it possibly be the work of an insane troll, who loves to hear people flaming them? If you agree, (or just want to flame it like most of the other signers!) the petition can be found at
http://www.petitiononline.com/twotower/.
If you want however to sign a pertition to keep the existing name, this can be found at http://www.petitiononline.com/lotr2/petition.html.


Here are some of my favorite entries:


Jeff - Peter Jackson, have you no shame? You should be thrown into prison for trying to capitalize on the 9/11 attacks. Why can't you just name it "LORD OF THE RINGS TWO"???


Osma bin Laden - Hello, I am Osama bin Laden, and yes, I did help Peter Jackson with the movie. I even helped Tolkien write the book 50 years ago, even though I was a little whiney brat that knew nothing of his existence. And the hobbits make great terrorists. At the moment; however, Saddam Hussein is expecting more sex tonight. So I bid you ado, and hope that you die a horrible bloody death for creating such an idiotic petition. And to make sure the US government shuts this petition down, I offer the following message to my Al-Qaeda: BOMB NEW YORK ANTHRAX KILL CHRISTIANS TWIN TOWERS NUCLEAR. Thank you.


Biff Renderson - In respect for the tradegy that has befallen our nation I think they should rename the film to "Frodo and Gandolf's Excellent Adventure."


Ford Prefect - Yeah, I hate the scene in the movie where the passenger jet aims straight for those two towers!


To be honest with you folks, I can't decide whether this petition makes me want to laugh maniacally, or to weep like a little bitch. Perhaps you can help me decide by using the new poll!

    German Heavenly Creatures DVD News - MUST READ BEFORE BUYING R1 VERSION
    Lewman @ 11:36 am EST

    Just recieved some very important news concerning the German DVD release of Heavenly Creatures. Here it seem are the final details of the DVD.

  • The picture will be 16:9 anamorphic, with 1.85:1 aspect ratio; it will be the same transfer as on the upcoming uncut R1 DVD.

  • The sound will be German and English in Dolby Digital 5.1

    Bonus materials will include:

  • German Trailer
  • US Promo Clip
  • 8 Deleted Scenes

    The price and the release date remain the same.

    I just want illiterate that this DVD WILL be the uncut NZ version of Heavenly Creatures. So the 8 deleted scenes mentioned here will be scenes that werent originally in that version! So this is VERY exciting news indeed :)

    It kinda blows the crappy R1 version out of the water doesn't it? ;)

    Are you ready to CREAM your pants?
    Lewman @ 6:51 pm EST


    Click to ENLARGE image

    I did. And wow.... my mother is busy scrubbing them right now in the kitchen sink :)

    Here it is. This apparently is the artwork for the upcoming release of the Heavenly Creatures DVD and man it looks not too bad does it?

    Now what is intresting is that if this is the genuine version of the DVD then as it states on the cover, it's will be the UNCUT version.

    If this is true, then this is the first time it's ever been released outside of NZ, and certainly a DVD to get all excited and giggly like a schoolboy over :)

    Well done Harvey you can come back to bed now :)
