yesterday i discovered that the two towers 4 disc set has been released here. so i bought it(the clerk made a point of telling me it was region three, and i told him i knew). last night we sat down and watched the extended director's cut. i'd forgotten how much i'd enjoyed this film. nice to see something good again after the disappointing kill bill and matrix movies. i once told a friend that i thought the lord of the rings series of films were this generation's star wars. i'm not sure how accurate that is. i mean are there kids going around pretending they are frodo or gandalf or gollum? maybe it's just when i watch lord of the rings it reminds me of how i felt when i watched the star wars movies. of course lord of the rings has a superior director(not to mention the books it's based on), so that may have something to do with it.
