The "Two Towers' was published in 1954, so I'm not getting what the conspiracy would be.WWGD said:

Did you really not see the movie? Hmmmmmmm. That's suspicious.zoobyshoe said:
I meant, sarcastically , that the production for the movie and the choice to film it was made some time shortly before 9 11. EDIT and you know you don't really need something solid and reasonable for many to find a conspiracy.Evo said:
WWGD said:
I know the Oscar winning special effects director on LOTR, did you realize that Peter Jackson started the LOTR movies about 6 years before they were released? So no, there was no connection at all.WWGD said:
But that is the whole point, conspiracy theorist ignore all the facts in reaching their conclusion and form these unsupportable half-baked conclusions. People who research carefully before forming an opinion are not considered conspiracy theorists.Evo said:
I have to agree with you on that, I never heard of the LOTR conspiracy. But like you said, the stupider the conspiracy is, the more people will believe it.WWGD said:
But, I don't even get what the "Two Towers" conspiracy theory would be. 911 was orchestrated by Saruman?WWGD said:
No, it was orchestrated by Saru, Man.zoobyshoe said:
Precisely. You have seen clearly through the machinations of the illuminati and the (fill in favorite group). Now I am suspicious about how you could have know about this...Ibix said:The conspiracy would be "Peter Jackson knew it was coming". I think WWGD is implying a conspiracy among conspiracy theorists to supress conspiracy theories around The Two Towers/The Twin Towers so that they have plausible deniability when accused of seeing conspiracies everywhere. They (9/11 Truthers in particular, but also more generally) can all point to the lack of TT conspiracies and say "look at the obvious opportunity for conspiracy nuts, which we didn't take! Proof that we're not nuts!"
It's at least as plausible as "all the people in on the moon landings have kept quiet for their entire lives".
Which one:IranWWGD said:
Anyone will do.zoobyshoe said:
It's all there in the public domain if you look carefully. Little clues, probably left by Wexa Digital whistleblowers. For example, one of the towers falls before the other, just like the WTC. And at the beginning of Two Towers, the nine members of the Fellowship of the Ring are reduced (Gandalf and Boromir) to seven, a clear reference to Building Seven.WWGD said:
They were all in on it.WWGD said:
Specially the river Saru.How do you know all this ?Ibix said:
It can't be a conspiracy if it's only one of them...WWGD said:
Ever watch Brad Meltzer's decoded? It seems like the guy is asking to be beaten, by pissing of the mafia, the vatican, etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brad_Meltzer's_DecodedIbix said:
Hey! You saw the movie! I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!zoobyshoe said:
He only saw the ilogy, neither the bilogy nor the trilogy, I believe.Psinter said:Hey! You saw the movie! I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!
Completely wrong. I read all the books, in (about) 1969. Never seen the movies.Psinter said:Hey! You saw the movie! I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!
That's not good at all. zooby must watch all of them.WWGD said:
Oh.zoobyshoe said:
Why don't you watch the movies?You read the book around 1969, I knew it!zoobyshoe said:
Why would he give into the Towerati's attempt to make him buy tickets? do you work for the Towerati group anyway?Psinter said:That's not good at all. zooby must watch all of them.
Oh.
I saw a picture of Frodo before the movie was released and I saw that it wasn't Frodo. It wasn't even a Hobbit. So, I didn't want to have the books ruined for me.Psinter said:Oh.
Typical Towerati comment. I question your true motives.zoobyshoe said:
Towe what?!WWGD said:
Ah, I see. The movies are good. Watch them! I recommend them.zoobyshoe said:
You don't understand. I made my own superior version of those movies in my head when I read the books as a young teenager. They can't be topped, and they would be ruined by having to view an inferior version.Psinter said:
