Yes, yes, The Two Towers will open this week. More gorgeous, ass-numbing moviecraft from Mr. Jackson as he performs his devotionals to Tolkien. This time around I am not squeezing into a theatre packed wall to wall with people to watch a movie that still isn't done. I'll wait a bit, thank you. But eventually I'll drag Conny  into the theatre so we can bask in the glow of latest masterpiece of Dungeons & Dragons porn.
Though, frankly, I can't get all that excited to see a movie when the story holds no surprise and no narrative conclusion. I'm more excited about The Matrix Reloaded, frankly, because it'll be a complete surprise, both visually and narratively. Though, the potential for disappointment on that one looms pretty large.
