Don't you feel that since it
has been over a year we have had enough time to mourn the events of Sept
11th?
No.
What are the benefits to be
gained by renaming "The Two Towers" movie to something more appropriate?
There are various benefits, the
foremost of them being showing increased sensitivity towards the events of
Sept 11th.
Are you an American organization?
Yes and no. While the petition was originally created by an American,
people around the world have come to agree and are now members of our
organization.
The creators of the movie have free speech, so what makes you think
they should have to change the name of the movie?
We believe that Peter Jackson and New Line Cinema's actions are in fact
hate speech. The movie is intentionally being named The Two Towers in
order to capitalize on the tragedy of September 11. Clearly, you cannot
deny the fact that this falls under hate speech. We believe that if they
will not willingly change the name, the government should step in to stop
the movie's production or to force a name change.
Don't you think that renaming the movie would tarnish JRR Tolkien's
works of art?
No, we do not believe this. Many of our members are actually fans of JRR Tolkien's
books, and we think that if Peter Jackson stepped in to rename the movie,
it would increase, not decrease, the good things that JRR Tolkien's works have done.
Do you people seriously think you'll be successful?
We most certainly do. Several of our members were already successful at
making 20th Century Fox delay the movie "Phone Booth" due to the Maryland
sniper attacks.
