Alkhin, have you had a chance to play much with your DVD player yet? Most (if not all) of the DVD players in stores now (even the real cheapies) can play music CDs. For mine, I just put it in and it starts playing automatically. It plays MP3s, too, and it must be close to a year old now. My sister's is a cheap one, but it displays Jpeg images in addition to doing everything mine does - you can burn a CD of images and do a slide show!
To: HairOfTheDog
Yes, it is! It's in the 2nd DVD, the one with all the previews extra stuff on it? It's in the 10 minute TTT preview, where they show Merry and Pippin surrounded by orcs and they turn slowly around and that's the very scene!
To: HairOfTheDog
What you have is just a close-up.
To: 2Jedismom
I have seen the 10 minute preview many times now... and that just doesn't look familiar at all!
Hmm... If I was at home I could go watch it. Drat. Guess I'll have to watch it again tonight!
To: HairOfTheDog
I'm going right now to watch it and double check, but I'm pretty sure. I suspect the reason the photos are so grainy is because someone zoomed in on it and caught the screen shots that way.
Hmmm...maybe I still have it in my recycle bin.
To: HairOfTheDog
I did still have it in the recycle bin! I restored it and watched it and sure enough, there is Merry and Pippin, surrounded by orcs turning slowly around, Merry with a gash over his eye. It's very fast and not as close up as the one you posted, though. It's much easier to see on the DVD.
Anyway, the pictures you posted are the same thing, maybe lightened a bit and zoomed in on. An excellent scene. M and P look to be in a heap o'trouble.
To: 2Jedismom
Hmmm.... well cool. Will watch it when I get home! - Nice to know that there are still new things to discover!
OK - Talk to you in a bit.... nother meeting.
To: Alkhin
...but old habits die hard. Yeah, they sure do. Why I remember old Tombor Proudfoot, he lived to the ripe old age eleventy-five. And not because he had such a cushy life either, I might add.
Why there was the time when Tombor was out planting in his field. As he was clearing out some old plants he was bitten by the biggest, fattest, blackest, spider you'd ever laid eyes on. Old Tombor was in bed for week recovering, thought he was a goner fur sure.
Then there was the time........what? old HABITS?.........oh,...nevermind.

I think I broke the thread.
Hhmm......*jumble* *jumble*........no, that's not it.......(ah! here's my hammer)....*WHACK!* *WHACK!*
There let's find out if that worked.

mumble...grumble..... who's that whacking at the side of my cave.
Oh, howdy man of Gondor! How do? Say, I love that old story about Tombor. He was one of the more dwarf-like hobbits as I recollect; yes indeed, he stubbed his toes a time or two, didn't he.....? ;^)
To: ksen
OK, this is sad...I was just working on a diagram of our network and one port is labeled 11D...which immediately made me think of hobbits (eleventy) and sent me off into a daydream about Bilbo's birthday party...
To: rightwingreligiousfanatic
...he stubbed his toes a time or two, didn't he.....? ;^)Boy, he sure did. Why he chalked up two or three stubbings running to the house after being bitten by that spider.

Hm...it would be fun to have a birthday party (i.e. cake and ice cream) and watch the movie...but if Dad caught wind of it he'd probably hit the roof! He thinks (knows?) the kids are FAR too into LOTR as it is!
To: ksen
...barked his shins and everything, it was a mess. As I recall they sprayed the Shire with DDT after that incident and haven't seen that variety of posionous spider around there since....
To: RosieCotton
I think we should do it! Let's have a cyberparty in the yahoo chat. What day is it exactly? The 22nd?
To: rightwingreligiousfanatic
....the strange thing is though, that before the DDT spraying the average hobbity height was 4'8". Now, 30 some-odd years later, average hobbity height is 3'6".

What have you been doing, reading liberal fear-mongering propaganda again? Stop that. ;^)
