I always thought the Two Towers were Minas Tirith and Minas Morgul. Doesn't it say somewhere about them "Staring across at each other"?

I thought it was Orthanc and Barad Dur.... and so does Jackson... Do we need to muster on this? or would this be a moot?

I've been meaning to ask this for a couple of days now, but I kept forgetting, so here goes.
When the hobbits first enter Bree (in the movie) they are walking up a street towards The Prancing Pony. They have to weave through quite a crowd in the rain. One of the men in the crowd looks drunk, is eating a carrot(?), and burps at the hobbits. Is that guy Peter Jackson?
I couldn't find a pic on Penny's site, or I would have posted it for you to see.

I also always thought it was up to interpretation...so I just go along with whatever everyone else says.
I don't flap, remember? ;-)
Except about tacky re-done maps.
To: ksen
That's ok, I read almost all the posts anyway.
Yep that's PJ.

I thought it was Orthanc and Barad Dur.... I always thought it was Minas Tirith and Minas Morgul... but there are 4 towers in the story that it could be (Tirith, Morgul, Orthanc, and Barad-Dur). Does anyone know if JRRT ever commented on the matter?
Do we need to muster on this? or would this be a moot?
If we make it an Entmoot, we could do both at the same time...
Passwords aren't secret if you tell everyone what they are. Borogroves.

Yep that's PJ. Actually it's his evil twin brother Borogroves.

Oh, I forgot to tell you...the trip up north really got off to a bad start when my MIL informed me that the thing I was blowing was most certainly not a whistle, but was called a flutophone.
This vulgar item is a flutophone:
Our whistles are way cooler than this.
To: Bear_in_RoseBear; HairOfTheDog
eeek! I hate when I mis-read... I thought you said "moot" as in pointless, not "a moot", as in what I referred to...
I feel like such a Borogrove...
To: 2Jedismom
Waayyyy cooler!
To: 2Jedismom
Let's start some flutophone bashing....it looks like something an elf would play! :)
To: 2Jedismom; ksen
You think it is? - I have never heard talk of that! - I paused it there but I can't tell... He isn't in the credits... er.. there is no "Burping Breeman" in the credits...
To: 2Jedismom
Your MIL, among her other possible faults, obviously does not know her whistles...
To: HairOfTheDog
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
I don't think it is "moot" at all! - I think this is an important point worthy of a "moot"! hehehe
To: Overtaxed
I wanted to whack MIL with my whistle, but I'm afraid of damaging it. If I had a flutophone on hand, however...
To: 2Jedismom
Whack MIL with a flutophone? Don't you have enough trouble with that family as it is?
To: 2Jedismom; ksen
Cool! - I missed that little tidbit... good eye ksen! - and great scoop 2J!
To: Overtaxed; 2Jedismom
I am glad she didn't whack MIL too... That kind of thing rarely turns out well...
