Response to Lilly, and Something Else
Curious George

I also heard that Kazaa had a trailer for ROTK, but it turns out to be a fake, with scenes from other movies and other trailers. It was probably done by the same people who did the fake star wars E2 trailers that started appearing a couple of years ago before the movie was even shot.

BTW, does anyone else here despise the Harry Potter flicks? I liked the books, but I feel like the movies are invading on LOTR's thunder. What I mean is, LOTR is such a powerful story, and has so many deep elements to it; and seeing the cheesiness in which HP has brought to the already somewhat tainted genre of film, and the degree to which it seems to have copied and cheapend elements of LOTR, needless to say it really upsets me. (The giant spiders, dementors, dark lord, trolls, and all the cheesy magic and pathetic acting) Don't hate me for saying that, I know there are a lot of HP fans that come here, but I am curious to know what people think, whether the HP films (not books) are hurting LOTR's fan base or helping it...
