Help! I'm An Idiot! I Can't Capture This Photo!

I've 'saved as,' 'copied image location,' and I've copied the source code, but I'm just too stupid to capture this great Claude Rains Moment:

I will grovel eternally if anyone can capture it!

2. it's a "background" image

with a transparent gif over top of it (probably all you've been able to copy.)

you need to view the source code and get the image URL for the "background" tag just before the caption text

3. try this

xxxx://i.imdb.com/Photos/Mptv/1289/3339-0300.jpg

replace "xxxx" with your favorite HyperText Transfer Protocol

The image is placed as a background in the table. Over it they've put a transparent gif.
