don't get your politics on my Tolkein

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2002.12.20

So tonight I happened to catch part of a panel doing a summary of the year's movies on TV. To my amazement, the hostess expressed some discomfort with the choice of the movie title "The Two Towers" given 'this post-911 environment'. I have to assume that she's aware that the movie is named for the book, which is now 50 years old?
