Those of you that have seen the Men In Black sequel got to see a real treat. And I'm not talking about the movie itself (which was funny, but doesn't live up to the original). I'm talking about the new preview for The Two Towers!

That's right, folks--on December 18, the second part of the epic Lord of the Rings trilogy arrives in theaters! To help prepare you for the excitement, I have put together a checklist for all of you to complete before the big day...

1. Read the Books
   J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy are the best books ever written. I have read them through at least three times! And I'm not a big reader. Heck, I'm not even a little reader!

2. Watch the Movie
   If you haven't seen The Fellowship of the Ring yet, then you can't be my friend anymore. Okay, I'm kidding. But seriously, rent it (comes to video in August) or I'll hurt you.

3. Reenact It*
   The real fun begins! Call up a friend and get out all your old boxes of Legos. Now pick out all the appropriate characters (forest men for elves, wolfpack for hobbits, etc.) and make the lego men act out the story. Get ready for an afternoon of fun and excitement.

* This step is optional.

If you do everything on my checklist, you will be so happy. Trust me. You can thank me later!
