I know my template is not exactly conventional. But, as you all probably know, I love the Lord of the Rings. The books and the movies. So, I looked high and low for a template that would reflect that, and this was the best I could do. It wouldn't be my top choice if there were any other options, but I was tired of my old one, and decided I should just change it. So I did.
Now, in keeping with my near-obsession with the Lord of the Rings, I was watching the Two Towers last night, and I noticed a discrepency that had never caught my eye before. So now I have a challenge to see how many of you can find it, too. Whenever you get 5 free minutes (and if you have access to the movie...which I believe everyone should), watch the scene where Aragorn meets Eomer on the plains of Rohan after the slaughter of the Uruk-Hai by the Rohirrim. Aragorn calls out to Eomer's company, they turn around and challenge the three wanderers, and then Eomer ends up giving them two horses. Watch as Eomer bids them farewell and mounts his horse again. If you don't see anything the first time, then watch it frame-by-frame and then tell me what you see.*(note below)
If you don't have time to watch it soon, or just don't want to have to deal with that, or just want to know what I saw, I can tell you. But I want to see if you can find it yourself first. :) I will post the answer after I know what some of you did - and didn't - find.
ONLY READ THE NOTE BELOW AFTER YOU TRY FINDING IT WATCHING AT FULL SPEED...I don't want to make it too easy for you. :)
*The actual *incident* (for lack of a better word) occurs as/right after Eomer mounts his horse. When you're watching frame-by-frame it can take forever, so I'm trying to give you a closer target area without giving it away. I think you'll see it the first time around if you know you're looking for something.

Actually, I found it and pointed it out to you. :)
*Resisting temptation and NOT cheating!*
I'll try to find it over the weekend hopefully. Maybe while I'm huddled up crying because I don't get to see you on Saturday. That'd be a nice respite.
My mom and dad and I just finished going back through and watching the 3 movies! It took us a couple months of finding a free hour here and there on the evenings when I was home... it was so fun! Ah, what masterpieces.
Yes, I admit... I LOVE THE MOVIES AND BOOKS TOO!!!!!! Are we going to dress up for the Hobbit?? Yes, yes?? :) :) When's it coming out?
A couple of months ago we watched the LOTR movies a mini series it was really fun that way.
I will dress up for the Hobbit with you, Hannah. I don't know when it's coming out...there was some lack of funding for it at some point, and Peter Jackson didn't want to direct, just produce, so it kinda stalled out for awhile. But, I think it's back on track now...just don't know how long it will take to hit the theaters.
Yay! If I still had long hair, I could be Galadriel... :/ But I'll think of something. :)
WELL, according to this, Part 1 comes out Dec 2012:
