Two Towers Trailer Truly Terrific

In case you haven't seen it, there is a new, more complete trailer for The Two Towers at lordoftherings.net. I caught glimpses of Gollum, Wormtongue, wargs, and even the lower half of an ent. My concerns that it might not live up to the promise of Fellowship of the Ring are quickly subsiding.

DANG IT, WHY ISN'T IT OUT NOOOWWWW??? WAAAH!

Because it's not Christmas. *Wipes his drool off his roommate's monitor, where the trailer was just playing.*

Ooh! More Arwen screen time! Yay!

I'm just being picky, but the final entrance when our hero bursts through the giant doors was held two seconds too long. The audience waited for something to happen, and there was time for nothing to happen immediately.

And Eomer's speech was, I hope, mistransribed. Here's what he actually said:

"Look for your friends, but do not trust to hope ... it uz forsaken these lands."

(I intentially wrote "uz" as that's the sound.) Now, here's what I think it should be:

"Look for your friends, but do not trust to hope -- it has forsaken these lands."

Hope has left, and there is nothing.

But the "behind the scenes" trailer commentary transcribes it thus:

"Look for your friends, but do not trust to hope. It is forsaken, these lands."

This sentence don't make a lick a' sense.

Wait 'til an English wonk friend of mine gets hold of this... oh. ;)

Never mind. There are enough other transcription flubs and screw-ups that my expectation of accuracy has been eliminated.

Eowyn: "The transcibers were untrained. They had no clue..."

Nevertheless, the movie itself should be quite impressive!
