Lord Of The Rings - The Two Towers

Don't know if you've seen, but some nutty americans are tryign to get
the name of the second part of Lord Of The Rings changed, because it
un-tactfully reminds them of another pair of twin towers. Not to be
unsympathetic, but HAH! Political correctness gone mad, etc!

In the meantime, there's a teaser trailer out! There's also a bootleg
preview, which is huuuuuuuuge. Both are unfortunately in apple
proprietary quicktime format at the moment - I'll upgrade them to MPEG
or DIVX as soon as I can find some reasonable quality ones.
Unfortunately, converting qt->mpeg tends to be a bit crap.

Anyway - go see some lovely middle earth stuff!

As far as I can tell it's not and hasn't been available on R2 DVD - checked
www.blackstar.co.uk , play247.com and "that site which NickWa doesn't like"

According to Blackstar the videos are long since deleted.

No R1 version according to play either.

Sorry :-(

I believe Cosmos on DVD is available at Amazon.com. The collector`s edition
boxed set comes to a hefty $169. I think that`s about 100 squid (ish).

Here`s the link -
