We are living in an age of evil. All people do, of course, but until very recently Americans had done a fine job of talking themselves out of believing in real, absolute evil.

the Emperor and Darth Vader--never seem truly evil. They want to control the galactic government, build up their army and stamp out political opposition. Kind of like Republicans.

I have heard that, but not exactly when, yet... Would love a heads up when it happens. - Or when someone finds the inevitable bootlegs on the internet. - It is my hope/expectation that the LoTR official site will have a nice quality copy of it when it comes out... I keep checking.
The trailer to the second instalment in the Lord of The Rings trilogy made its way online last week but, amid the flickery, black and white images, it was a little hard to get into the spirit. Now an improved quality - but slightly smaller and prematurely cut-short - version has popped up and with the aid of a rudimentary magnifying glass you can now become one with what looks certain to be the greatest cinematic outside of Episode II.

With a certain level of secrecy, the top brass at New Line Cinema just got back from a visit to New Zealand. As the rumor has it, they were there for an update on the status of The Two Towers and to see a 'rough-cut' of the film. The information we have tells us they absolutely loved what they saw. Most seemed to agree that it was even better then Fellowship of the Ring.
Roll on December!
