LOTR: TTT questions

grrgoylOkay, I can't find a community to post this in (though I am sure there HAS to be one out there, but I have never been known for my patience) so dammit it is going here.
I got my copy of The Two Towers on Tues (yeah, I know, me and most of the free world). I saw it only twice in the theater, but I am blessed (or in this case, cursed) with a photographic memory and I noticed this difference. (I am aware that this post will send my GQ (geek quotient) through the roof, but it is bugging me that much.) I speak of the scene when Grima Wormtongue steps out on the balcony with Saruman and beholds the vast host assembled there (DVD chapter "Isengard Unleashed"). He lets a solitary tear trail down his cheek at the sight. My problem is I could have sworn in the film he got a close up for this, but on the DVD he is in a two-shot with Saruman. It is just a second of film, but my god it is bothering me. Has anyone else noticed this? (and can anyone else direct me to a LOTR community where I can try posting this?)

Obsessed with wayyy too much free time on my hands
ADDENDUM: As long as I am discussing TTT, I was just sitting here staring at the DVD case (because I am supposed to be working) and I demand an explanation as to why Arwen, who appears in the movie for perhaps 5 minutes, is one of the Big Heads (alongside Frodo, Gandalf and Aragorn) while Sam, Gimli and Legolas (and for that matter Gollum from a scene in "Fellowship") are all Tiny Heads down below. This seems hugely unfair.
Okay, I REALLY need to get a life and more importantly get back to work. Damn.
