The Two Towers Countdown thread.

[TheRingBearer]

Basically whenever you feel like it you can post how long there is left until it opens and hopefully this thread will be counting down until the launch date. If you haven't got the clock you can get it here at www.clockdown.com

Let it begin:

45 Days 5 Hours 7 Minutes and 5 Seconds.

ooooo the anticipation lol

[Tar-Ancalimë]

aaaah! i love this idea for a thread.... wow wow suspense... ooooh CANT WAIT!!!

um is there some reason you cant change it for if you dont live in US...?

[TheRingBearer]

I fyou're talking about the clock then I don't know. This is the only version you can get I think :huh: But I think the release date is the same anyway.

[Tar-Ancalimë]

nay the dates arent the same... but how on earth does it know my time here? i didnt tell it or anything *shrugs*

neva mind, its cool! :thumbs: lol

[Miruvor]

Only 4 more days to wait for the Extended version FOTR! (Is that correct?) Oh, boy! (That will help speed up the time until TTT by giving us something to do.)

[Tar-Ancalimë]

10 where i live... :(

[Pil]

Yeah i'm confused too.... when does it come out? I knew it was november...but that's as far as my knowlegde stretches to i'm afraid...:huh: :(...

TTT Wise...i down loaded the clock..well...bonos-girl down loaded it for me and emailed it...aaanyway...it's a really nice idea don't you think? There are so many different types...i got an aragorn one...i find his role in TTT the most influencial to a single character so i chose him...:thumbs: :king: :thumbs:...

Simply can't wait for the film to come out....and i do think that the clock is making it worse...that plus the TT poster i put as the background for my computer screen and i'm going crazy every time i do some I.T.!!! :jester: pfbbt lol

[TheRingBearer]

I have one of the new wallpapers at the mo, the one with the three hunters and gandalf as well as the clock of course:

44 days, 8 hours, 24 minutes and 8 seconds to go.

Speaking of countdowns, the wife found a TTT screensaver last night and the counter is included!!

I'll try and get it, and put it up in our downloads section this evening or on the morrow!

[Wilwarin]

Oh! I have been looking for a LotR screen saver for my new computer! I haven't been able to find one! That would be great! (As long as it's for a Mac that is!)

[TheRingBearer]

Cool a screensaver with an included clock. What a great idea.

39 days, 16 hours, 3 minutes and 33 seconds to go!!!

[Illuvatar]

Okay well, I'm not sure if it will work on a mac, but you can get the TTT with the clock one here (http://www.uselesscreations.com/lotr/)

That one and a few others as well are available here (http://www.joblo.com/moviescreensavers/lordoftheringssavers.htm)

I don't know how much longer I can hold out!

[A! Elbereth]

Now I'm getting nervous I am so excited..... you know that feeling when you are so happy and impatient and excited at the same time and you feel that you will seriously burst if you do not scream in pure joy? lol

Got that feeling right about now....;)

[Ithielnor]

18 days, 9 hrs, 16 mins, 00 secs.

eastern standard time, GMT -5 hrs.

[TheRingBearer]

Hey I know, from now on every time you post the time left you have to add a quote from the Two Towers, just to make us more mad :grin:

17 Days, 5 Hours, 7 Minutes and 24 Seconds.

"The Ring will not save Gondor, it has only the power to destroy"

[Adunauriel]

Well I don't know the time left, but here's a quote....'You are full of curiosity this morning,' laughed Legolas. 'But maybe, if we had not arrived, you would already have been keeping one another company again.'

[Undomiel]

17days 1 hour 22mins 1 sec

"Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that
was blowing?
Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing?
Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing?
Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing?
They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow;
The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow."

I love this-and i love the clip of Théoden reciting it :grin:

[TheRingBearer]

Agreed :grin:

16 Days, 8 Hours, 27 Minutes and 2 Seconds to go

" The theives, the filthy little theives. They've stolen my precious and we wantsssss it" ;)

[Gwaihir]

Gwaihir, you have my sympathy. I thought we had it tough having to wait a week after everyone else, but March ??? :o

The pirate copies will be on the market be then ! :rolleyes:

[TheRingBearer]

From what I hear, many people already have pirate copies on dvd :(

[Ithielnor]

15 days, 4 hrs, 25 mins, 40 secs.

The cold hard lands
they bites our hands
they gnaws our feet.
Thee rocks and stones
are like old bones
all bare of meat.
But stream and pool
is wet and cool:
so nice for feet!
And now we wish....

Alive without breath;
as cold as death;
never thirsting, ever drinking;
clad in mail, never clinking.
Drowns on dry land,
thinks an island
is a mountain;
thinks a fountain
is a puff of air.
So sleek so fair!
What a joy to meet!
We only wish
to catch a fish,
so juicy-sweet!

I feel for you, Gwaihir. I havn't read the LO report, but I definitely would if I had to wait till MARCH!! :o

[Lady Melody]

I've even laid down a costume to wear to the premiere!! ^_^ At KLCC (tallest building in the world, currently) Suria, yay! (No, Malays never looked good in full Middle Aged/ Middle Earth clothes so I mixed and matched a different but yet appropriate look ^_-)

[Polly Sandybanks]

I wish I could find some good Middle Earth-like clothes. I found a top that looked ok today, but it was too small. :( I guess I should have started looking a bit sooner. I'll try to get something really nice for next year though. :)

4 days 7 hours 15 mins 2 secs

[Bonos-Girl]

wow..it's getting so close. I'm gonna be freezing when i go....nevermind lol!

[Polly Sandybanks]

In one way it would be better to have the premiere in the summer. :) Then you could go as a hobbit, barefoot. I wouldn't want to do that now. :)
What are you going to wear B-G?

[Ruthiel]

Ya, I don't really have anything that looks like clothing from Middle Earth. Oh well, nothing I can do about it. But the whole "hobbit thing in summer" is a great idea.

:elfqueen:

[TheRingBearer]

4 Days, 4 Hours, 53 Minutes and 50 Seconds to go!!!

man this is really building up now

[Ruthiel]

my clock says 11 hours... why is that they're different? I thought that www.clockdown.com only had the release date and time for the US? How is it different???

:elfqueen:

[Luthien]

I hear you RingBearer it's funny that we've all been waiting a year for it to come out already and still we have to wait just a few more days and it's those days that go by slower than the year itself. I wanted to dress up too, but I also didn't have time to get a costume together, I will dress up next year though. :p

[Ithielnor]

my clock says 11 hours... why is that they're different? I thought that www.clockdown.com only had the release date and time for the US? How is it different??? well Ruthiel, I believe the clock sets itself to your internal computer clock so you are 7 hours behind TRB who lives in the UK on GMT. I take it you live in the US central time zone?

[Bonos-Girl]

Originally posted by Polly Sandybanks

I'm wearing a skirt made out of a pice of shimmery white transclucent material and a top made from a strappy top with the same material as the skirt sewn on to make sleeves. depending on the weather i may or may not barefeet but looking at the weather now i very much doubt it!!! i need some of those satin wedding shoes really...

[Polly Sandybanks]

Cheers to all of you entdraught :beer: ...NOT ENOUGH! :guzzle: (really, I'm happy for you)

[Ruthiel]

[Miruvor]

"All times are GMT -6 hours. The time now is 11:52 PM." (Copied from bottom of my WOTR screen.) Six hours difference from GMT here in the midwest. I guess you folks in England and Sweden will be giving us reviews 6 hours before I can see it? Hope you come here to cheer us on and give us hints on what you saw!

My countdown clock just passed 04:00:00:00 and I screen printed it for posterity.

[Ithielnor]

3 days, 22 hrs. 18 mins. 00 secs.

I just noticed this morning that you can change the skin of that countdown clock. So now it's Frodo and Sam, obviously. :) I've had Aragorn for a few days, since I downloaded it. It's nice with a change.

[NoldoR]

i shure will be!!!!

[Polly Sandybanks]

2 Days 10 Hours 4 Mins 55 Secs to go!

Actually.. it's almost 2 PM right now, on a Sunday (for me). It won't be too long until Sunday is over. Then it's only Monday to get through as well.. and then the day has come. Well.. alright, the premiere is on Wednesday, but I'm going to the Cinema on Tuesday. FotR starts at 8.15 PM.. then after that at 0.01 AM TTT starts. Wohoo!! :)

[Polly Sandybanks]

1 Day 5 Hours 34 Mins 14 Secs!

I was just watching a video clip at a Swedish website about the premiere in Stockholm (it was a few days ago). They interviewed lots of Swedish celebrities that went there, and then all of a sudden there was this British guy. He was called Royd Tolkien, and apparently he's JRR Tolkien's greatgrandson. That was cool. :) He said it was the 4th premiere he had gone to and he loved the movie.. he also said that it gets better every time. :) I bet.

[Cuthalion]

Just for you to feel lucky, I have to wait until January 2nd...yeah, laugh! I can't help to feel happy for you though. Way to go guys!!
