Is that Burn Gorman? I don't remember him in that movie.

 

Yep it's Burn Gorman. He gets 'exiled' by Cillian Murphy and presumably freezes to death in the river

[CoolioD1]

watched under the skin. that's a good one.

What do you think will be the next decent grosser that will have critics reeling and internet wannabe film scholars ranting about how a film´s success is to blame for the downfall of our civilization? Sex Tape?

Whatever it is, the three-way-punch of Interstellar, Big Hero 6, and Mockingjay will remedy things.

I didn't even recognize him. I'm sure a lot of people don't know who he is. He was in Pacific Rim too.

Burn has been popping up in quite a few things recently, honestly TDKR was the first time I noticed him. But then I saw him in Game of Thrones, Pacific Rim, and this show on AMC called Turn. And every time I see him, I see Stryver from TDKR.

RE Gif argument

 

I think gifs can be fun if people actually went to the trouble of customizing them for the site

[Blankments]

Because a Jolie gif is posted randomly, for example:

 

Last night I ate some pizza.

 

 

It's just a gif for the sake of a gif.

This post cracked me up because of the sheer randomness of it

[Blankments]

IMO, it's very awkward to arbitrarily try to restrict something like this. Personally, I'd like to appeal to everyone to think for a moment about the GIF you're posting. Is it really worthwhile? Are you just trolling for likes? (The like system, which I think is great, has also been really abused lately. Really, does it matter that much how many likes you have? The purpose of a "like", in theory, is so you can indicate you approve or enjoy a particular post -- simply trolling away begging for them in every thread is a total abuse of the system.)

 

I'm certainly guilty of this as much as anyone. But as a community, we should all take a bit of responsibility to step back and stop the constant derailment.

Like begging has been abused since that fateful day that Fassbender's shlong has entered the world. I'm working hard as a liketivist to end that

 

The restriction on likes is so lax it's basically limitless. The only person who run into the limit are those who're basically trolling the system.

Because the system is a waste

[Deep Wang]

I would be perfectly fine with there being a cap on likes per day. It does make them more valuable. No offense Blank, you're awesome! This would give you way more free time too!

[Blankments]

After reading through the gif/like argument, I feel really awkward for posting a gif in response to the Conversation thread being moved to avoid derailments.

I first saw him in Layer Cake, then Bleak House and Penelope. The next time I saw him he was in Pacific Rim.  I really don't remember seeing him in TDKR but then I didn't really like the movie, lol.

We can go back to limiting likes if you want?

[Dementeleus]

I'm all for that, but I don't think it would be a popular move.

Since we are just posting random shit, here's a funny story from last night at work. A woman gets on the bus last night and looks sketchy right away.  She comes up to me, basically whispers in my ear and says this: "Look, I just performed a trick (hooker speak for sex) and the fucker didn't pay me.  I have no money and I just need to get downtown.  I'll give you a blowjob if you let me ride for free." After stifling a laugh, I replied, "No, that's okay, I'll pass on the offer but I'll get you where you need to go, free of charge." To which she replied, "It doesn't have to be here and now ( the bus was half full of people), we can meet when you get off work and I can do it in your car." Now I'm really having a hard time holding in my laughter, but I manage to say, "It's fine, just sit down, relax and the bus ride is free of charge tonight." Funniest thing that has happened to me so far in my first three weeks.

now tell us what really happened

[Jessie]

And now for something completely different - an iceberg that looks like Batman

 

Looks like Dr Freeze won that fight then

I would start with 194824th reapeat of the Dark Knight Rises/Man of Steel jokes, rather than Dame gifs

[Noctis]

Blankments, the like system is not a waste. It's just you're trolling it to absurd levels.

[Deep Wang]

I'm all for that, but I don't think it would be a popular move.

It would just take some getting used to. Maybe not as low as it was originally. But make people think about what they really like first! It makes it more fun!

[grim22]

Speaking of derailment. Maybe we should just not create daily number threads based on Rth's early numbers. Just saying, Rth provides early numbers at 11:30pm at night, the official studio numbers come in at around 2:30pm the next day, that is 15 hours with a thread where we get no new information apart from early estimates from Rth which naturally leads to extreme derailments.

 

This also has the effect of the actual numbers not being discussed at all once they come in since the derailments are much more interesting. Granted, numbers have sucked so far this summer so there would definitely be derailments, but the thread just sitting around with no numbers coming in at the start is basically the best case scenario for derailment.

 

How about a "Daily discussion thread" everyday opened in the main forum? Reddit had a lot of issues with derailments in normal threads, so they started a "All things discussion" thread, and that has worked out really well.

 

 

Going to say "I called it".

Blanks likes are fine.
