On the day The Two Towers came out, I heard two different older guys refer to it as "The Twin Towers." Both of these guys were favorably impressed by the movie, and not offended by the title (nor their mistaken version of the title) at all. <P>My conclusion? They positively applied the imagery of the noblest Tolkien ideals inherent in Rohan fighting off Orcs and Dunlendings to defend freedom ... to compare with the red-white-and-blue patriotism of the USA's war against terrorism.<P>Gandalf the Grey
