Last night I was flipping thru the channels at high speed. (My wife was upstairs so I could get away with it) and I saw the last frame of the (a?) trailer and the TTT logo. Unfortunately I flipped past it and had to go back and only caught a brief glimpse of the logo both times. Is a trailer on TV now? Am I crazy or what? I thought you would have mentioned it earlier today so I didn’t write in sooner. It was on one of those third tier cable channels late at night.
Well many Ringers have been mailing in to say that the commercial was indeed a advertisement for Fellowship of the Ring, stating the four Academy Awards it had won and advertising the new footage of The Two Towers attached to the end of Fellowship of the Ring.
Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring has surpassed Independance Day and gone to number 5 in the All Time Worldwide Box Office Gross with $815.4m. The next movie ahead of the first Lord of the Rings movie is Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park, on $920m. [More]

My brother had thrown it accross the room and it hit me in the head. Well, I got really angry, but I really shouldn’t have. He pointed out Sean Bean and then pointed out the commercial. It was Sean Bean! He was the advertiser! I was so stunned.
