It was 20 years ago today that I watched the second installment of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy at the movie theater.
The Two Towers was the best film in Jackson's cinematic trifecta, but it was understandable that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences would wait another year to hand the trilogy an Oscar trophy for Best Picture...with 2003's The Return of the King.
There were so many cool aspects of The Two Towers, from the Tree Ents and Andy Serkis' initial portrayal of Gollum to the Battle of Helm's Deep. And let's not forget the amazing music score by Howard Shore as well.
I was in my fifth year of college when The Two Towers was released in theaters nationwide. That's probably not a factoid I should be proud of sharing here... Happy Tuesday!
#OTD in 2002, I saw The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers on the big screen for the first time...
