I love LOTR!!!! I've seen Two Towers 5 times since it was released on DVD.

You bought the DVD? You do know the extended DVD comes out in Nov, right? I'm holding out for that.

Thanks for reminding me and posting those photos. Unfortunately, I don't subscribe to Showtime. Regardless, thanks for the thought, Neenah.

I don't trust the ba$tards.. but as the mild mannered squishy 90's guy that I am, I'll hold my FIRE until I see it... :o)

[Neenah]

I guess the one thing that made me curious about this, is that (by reading the promo) they consulted with many top officials in the administration on this, and didn't make it up from what they THOUGHT happened.

I am not chomping at the bit to watch it, but will tune in out of curiosity.

I always thought YOU WERE A 90'S SQISHY GUY !!! (is there a recipe for that ? )

How about equal time for conservatives ... not just the neo variety?

[Porterville]

I live in California and think about it everyday. It is just that the socialist are fighting for their lives after 9-11 and are trying their hardest to reign in the proletariat; the socialist leadership is desperate, so their shrill screams block out the truth... that America remebers everyday.

[Coop]

I hope you're right, but unfortunately I don't find FR to be completely representative of America at large. But at least this week for sure folks will be remembering.

I watched (and recorded) DC 9/11 last night with my wife and we enjoyed its portrayel of our President's committment, morality, sensitivity, intelligence, and leadership. From what I have seen on Fox News and read here on FreeRepublic, the movie is amazingly accurate and straightforward about the "behind the scenes" operations immediately after and for the one week following 9/11.

The filming and production staff secured privledged access to the main players (including the President) and several different prospectives were brought to light for the first time, providing the viewer, a very clear picture of the overall event and the supurb teamwork which led up to the war on terrorism.

Aside from the official operations going on at the Whitehouse, the docudrama also paid tribute to the victims and families of 9/11 in a very classy manner.

DC 9/11 stands in sharp contrast to the constant Bush-bashing we have been subjected to for the past six months and, IMO, shows the real and highly respectable view of our Commander-in-Chief.

This one is definately a keeper so buy a new blank tape and pop the write protect tab after recording.
