prepare to have your avatar put on the rack as i tear it apart or praise it up to space

to field your questions

hacksparrow: the fact that almost all avatars are preexisting photographs created by others will be taken into consideration
the truth is that you could choose to have just about any image you like and your decision to choose this particular one is what will be evaluated

macguffin, your avatar will be rated on the basis of identifiable reference, composition, humour, appeal, or whatever the purpose of the avatar seems to be.  ratings will differ depending on the individual

stefen, too bad...caught you all with your pants down

so here we go

an image from a tv show or movie i've heard you talk about but have never seen myself.  keep in mind that i have actually tried to work on this avatar myself but alas i could not isolate the transparency of the bee.

i feel watched and isolated from the groups in the background.  the wood dude in the front makes me feel uncertain.  the green bee is reassuring.

white outline of the bee is distracting but this really can't be helped.  rocks impossibly balanced in the background add to excellent replay value.  muchos detalle and takes us almost all the way around the colour spectrum

overall :yabbse-thumbup: and i look forward to an evolution

a rarely seen picture of depp from fear and loathing

a first time viewer would be unable to place context with the flipped typewriter.  raoul's expression of masked fear and attempt at the casual are humorous but colour would make it more interesting, especially that red typewriter....like an alarmmmm of confusion

budee holee

believe it or don't, at first i hated this sucker after a few days of staring at it.  this was a long time ago.  i couldn't stand the fucking picture...it just kept smiling and smiling at me.  and it isn't even a full blown smile, it's this soft teethy wimpy expression i hesitate to call a grin.

but over time the 'tar has matured upon me and i have learned to appreciate it.  love it for everything that it is.  this is the buddy holly and although i have a few issues with the quality of the print and how it's been uncropped it reminds me of everything taz and everything xixax...i give it a blatant thumbs up (https://xixax.com/images/smiles/yabbse_thumbup.gif)

(https://xixax.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.xixax.com%2Fimages%2Favatars%2F18415061863fb129bd04be8.jpg&hash=56bba21ae3ad66d10efe2fc23325cc1fbaacb887)
i have spent a lot of time with ms. mully dee...she is exquisite however i don't think 'a maniacal thrill!!!11' is helping you out a lot unless the movie was one of those underwater family-themed rollercoasters with a slight edge and i just wasn't paying attention

the elements; head, headlights and sign work as a threesome and the design wouldn't work if one of them wasn't present...if you still want to go for the mysterioso effect then pull out your dvd and look at the back of the insert...vague headlights and the sign by itself looks tempting and partially unsafe

originality is blehh because you've just pulled a dvd cover out of your hat.  nothing fantastic other than the fantastic movie and some of the original posters were better but a good effort

you're in the general area and for this you receive a rare black and white thumb (https://xixax.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mg12movie.com%2Fbwthump.gif&hash=be57592b32872912932968d23b0c1b30e554cc74)
now straighten up and fly right

(https://xixax.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.xixax.com%2Fimages%2Favatars%2F67703717340410db83488b.jpg&hash=b24ac8aac92d8b0fe7a2225847b142386bcd0593)
watch...self made composition, folks

four rows of varying sizes make for a nonexistent focal point.  but that's okay because these avatars are just shoved to the side of the screen anyway.  he may not be aware, but p's avatar takes full advantage of this format by placing his subjects to the right of his frame making the eye glide down the page past his picture through the message and clean out the other side with nary a scratch

so back to you...the only way i could see this taking an hour is if you went and got each movie and capped each scene individually...each of the pictures you chose are perfectly composed and would make flawless avatars by themselves but slipped together like this they begin to lose their magic...

much thought was put into this and far surpasses a lot of the other things we see floating aimlessly these days...you receive a rare 45 degree angle thumbs up (https://xixax.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mg12movie.com%2F45.gif&hash=118f8a22b46db440acd1b2006bc73e30e8961fef)

this image is resampled so poorly that it loses almost everything it had going for it in the beginning.  you can even see the tiny compression blocks

great image but no dice :yabbse-thumbdown:

(https://xixax.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.xixax.com%2Fimages%2Favatars%2F618314893edf851f47431.gif&hash=d2b8e1a67a26390c120da079a060bc31cda66d35)
the critic!

shows the poster as an enthusiastic cartoonish character...good cropping of the original image but the transparency isn't great...you have a purple border around the left side and transparency mosquito noise around the right side...my prescription for you is something resembling this
(https://xixax.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mg12movie.com%2Fnewone.gif&hash=6465a21b3c8da6af8fc3039118289673f9d9beb7)

round three

(https://xixax.com/images/avatars/1110566302402c24963b616.jpg)
self created, merit pointsss

as i am familiar with conception and subjects of the avatar it loses that much mystery...the bluriness of ed's face and her coat makes her appear to have a beard or something, looks off to me but again it's because i know it

i have always found crowbars to be the most suggestive object even if it's just lying there.  even if you come in a room and all there is in the room is this crowbar.  make it animated and you'll have a classic

(https://xixax.com/images/avatars/4089292823e629fdf55b1f.jpg)
kinda looks like this guy is holding a dog on his shoulder and the dog is biting his shoulder and he's screaming.  that's what i always think when i see it

you have the top and bottom of the film frame lying around which gives it character but makes it a bit messy....it's such a classic but i am divided and a fish divided against itself will swim straight forward

(https://xixax.com/images/avatars/95232997640440fc2de956.jpg)
blackkkkkk

we fish have many different beliefs....there are those who see you as the humigods as everchanging murky shadows that hover above our land with sharp machines so that we can bestowed upon the dry heavens above to be redistributed...they await their salvation and eagerly await their captors

not i...i have seen the land above and it is full of unimaginable terror and things impossible back below the surface...larger fish share beliefs but they refuse to travel in packs whereas those religious types are always hanging around each other waiting for a piece of heaven to drop down.  oh yeah that movie big fish is complete bullshit

from here i can't see if my fellow fish is a believer...if he is then he must be a happy one, but i suspect he was caught midspawning and that's one thing that you just don't do...only the fucking pearbrained bears are dumb enough to catch us then, or maybe that kid bobby....nonetheless imagine going through your existence just about to achieve reproduction and then bam you get eaten by some jigsaw man

not even the most devout sinless fish would be pleased with being eaten then, but nobody eats sickfinsss

believe it or don't, i've spent a lot of time in the shot you see there (it's mighty hard to get up on the train tracks in the background) and like half the x-files locations you see on the early seasons...you can actually smell the sewage treatment plant from where he's crouching

wide angle makes adds to the freaky-deakyness but it's much more effective when you see just how vigorously our jigsaw friend is devouring this fish in motion....nonetheless a superb refence but very dark...would like to see jigsaw in more detail

(https://xixax.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fshrug.net%2Fimages%2Fcount_love.gif&hash=bccaac8e6a95338a5bbf56617a5324efd7f5ff6f)
what the fuck is this.  

count love?  the count never held onto his true love, he should perpetually be in angst...a more appropriate 'tar would be neverending tones of red red red circulating behind him

this looks like one of those friendly cartoon vampires that you don't see wandering around too much...he has a butt chin too...you see those a lot more often

the colours are nice but dracula even for the sake of being random doesn't do it for me....but whatever sinks your dentures kiddo

(https://xixax.com/images/avatars/140739586740314ad079c65.jpg)
hey kids, it's bresson with wavywavy hair

surrounded by mostly vertical lines and framed by two horizontal ones....i see your game but it all seems slightly off kilter and he gives the impression he's looking at something he vaguely approves of a short distance away..certainly nowhere near the boards though and this gives you a strange floaty feel if it weren't for that blurry black bar that weights everything down...now it just makes me feel trapped

i dunno....donate blood

(https://xixax.com/images/avatars/1132220717402829f68f1b0.jpg)

andy your face and miming body will be forever populated by a vague cringe...i don't think this pose was meant to be held for eternity

a lonely old man would be much more lonely with fewer shutters in the background or perhaps a little more breathing space around him...very few avatars are meant to be stared at for extended periods of time...most of these are starting to piss me off now

(https://xixax.com/images/avatars/103999798940286e77ea703.jpg)

thank you for your dollar (goatse?)

as per your donation i was considering giving you a glowing review but then i realized you could be LYING

this has been cropped far too much...framing is suddenly off kilter and makes me focus just on the hands rather than the whole image if it was done properly

the colours are superb but again resampling is the shits

straighten up and swim right

(https://xixax.com/images/avatars/136444616403280ca926a5.gif)
i hope kubrick had enough humour to laugh at this...or maybe what it's what he's like all the time since i've only really seen still pictures of him except for documentaries.  but those can be faked.

black and white is appropriate and if you managed to make this animation yourself then kudosssss, but it does get irritating after a different period of time

this avatar could turn into a golden one as long as you follow the golden rule: keep it long enough it will be tolerated and loved.  it will imprint itself as an icon of the boards and you will never associate the image with anything else again

(https://xixax.com/images/avatars/20090182814044d4087ac2a.jpg)

:yabbse-thumbdown:

(https://xixax.com/images/avatars/924109616403e676895b44.gif)

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

this would get perfect if it weren't for the mediocre resampling and slight offcropping.  but other than that it is a truly fantastic, one of the first few avatars in a while that i've really gotten a kick out of on inital viewing

(https://xixax.com/images/avatars/1903976977402303ed7a363.jpg)

very tiny

larger makes more detail let's talk why not?

overall it is humorous depending on how you thought of the movie but it will make everyone who reads your posts get the subtle impression that you are just 'silly' and will never amount to anything greater

(https://xixax.com/images/avatars/913808223eeb9c75e6e9a.jpg)

too small crop less

that is all

(https://xixax.com/images/avatars/17965317444029beaa23a0b.jpg)
aughhhhhhhh

shitty shitty compression.  look at those blocks in the top right how can you not see that

where is the context?  too many words are spelled incorrectly!  terrible punctuation!  explain!  explain!

the picture has a terrible browny/red hue that is just vaguely discernible from the muddiness of black you call detail populating this wasteland of a missed opportunity gone wrong in a has-been universe

and i don't like plaid

(https://xixax.com/images/avatars/122566245540420b197876b.jpg)

exploding man.  cool

:yabbse-thumbup:

(https://xixax.com/images/avatars/5221490953ea941a57fd4a.jpg)

i saw the video footage and your avatar doesn't give me the sickkkk feeling the moving pictures do...not really sick but maybe the fact that the images i was viewing were real and it just didn't look like that...and that someday everyone will look like that...

as a picture by itself it fails on a bunch of accounts and i'm wondering if there's a really good reason why you picked it or if it's just for shock value

no thanks  :yabbse-thumbdown:

(https://xixax.com/images/avatars/10748400793fa56c834d16b.jpg)
noooooooooooooooooooooooo

nooooooo w....wh...is....brlbjhjmmmnn

why green
the blurry background brings more attention to itself than if you had just left it alone...it feels like this rodent is going to come out of the screen and charge me and leave behind a sickening trail of slimy green bluriness if it weren't for the white selection halo you somehow managed to leave around it

side views of rodents are so much more flattering

:yabbse-thumbdown:  :yabbse-thumbdown:  :yabbse-thumbdown:  :yabbse-thumbdown:  :yabbse-thumbdown:  :yabbse-thumbdown:  :yabbse-thumbdown:  :yabbse-thumbdown:

somebody asked why avatars are so important....perhaps they aren't but they influence the reading of your post tenfold

a good example is banky's series of avatars a while back...conversely they can make a slightly annoying person seem like a full flegged urkel

so in conclusion avatars subconsciously change what people think of you

you're right, it is far from perfect...here's what you did, walrus

you took a cap from a pirated version of rejected.  and not only is it pirated, but it's pirated terribly.  compression artifacts all over the characters

you have squashed it and placed black bars on this side.  if i wanted to make something look uglier then that's what i would do

look at the fantastic cap you would get if you had the dvd!

I agree Family Guy rocked, but I didn't watch enough Critic (which I regret) to make any inferences like that.

Both great shows, though.

Family Guy is mostly random humor like The Critic often had, but The Critic had better character and plots.  It also had the constant parodies and tributes to movies to tie it together, while FG's core, if we can call it that, was the random and outrageous humor which sometimes fell flat.  Both are good shows but The Critic had more to set it apart from The Simpsons than FG did.

Quote from: PubrickFamily Guy is "standing on the shoulders of giants". the things that it takes for granted were created by the simpsons. do u realise that the first 3 seasons of the simps, now completely tame at best, were actually controversial at the time? there is a severe lack of awareness of context here.

Futurama is the only cartoon, that understood intimately what the simpsons did and was trying to do sumthing NEW with the possibilities. and it's not like the best simps seasons (4 to 8.) are so out of date that they are the Citizen Kane of cartoons. they broke every old rule and established a genius set of new ones which family guy is only marginally taking advantage of. i still watch family guy, cos it has its moments, but i would never quote it or refer to it in my daily life.

the only reason family guy is so popular is the word of mouth created by 15-17yr olds. they ignored futurama cos it was touted as a "sequel" to the simpsons, which was in its decline when family guy started anyway.
Quote from: Pubricki think everyone who is in love with Family Guy, only feels that way because they were too late to catch the simpsons in their prime. a fairer comparison for current animation would be Futurama, i speak as someone who has seen all the cartoons in question and does not resent the 90s.. i challenge u to find me a family guy episode that is as profound as (futurama episodes) Godfellas, Time Keeps on Slipping, Jurassic Bark, The Sting, and the series conclusion The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings. in just those 5 episodes futurama packed more urgent unviersal content than family guy has in its several forgettable seasons. and i don't even need to mention Last Exit to Springfield (if u want political relevance), Bart Sells His Soul  and The Mysterious Voyage of Homer (for spiritual guidance).. i can go on.

family guy fans are consitstently less informed on their "rival" shows, and a bit late on the knowledge train, quite frankly.

Opinions, schmopinions.  I've watched The Simpsons on and off for several years.  Never enough to become a freak about it or anything, but enough to appreciate it.  But Family Guy is so much more than a cartoon with characters to hang sight gags off of.  It's got your social commentary, too.  And now that it's got a chance to come back later on this year, it is going to be better than ever.  Remember, you're comparing a show which only had three seasons to one that's had, what is it now, fifteen?  But The Critic is the unsung hero here.  Though it didn't concentrate on social commentary (really wasn't meant to as its targets were mostly film and celebrity related).  It was also way too controversial a show for its time, something that ABC really had a hard time dealing with, especially for a show that was a lead-in for Home Improvement.  It paved the way for shows like Family Guy ESPECIALLY.  It was way ahead of its time as far as sight gags and running gags and the like were concerned.  But also, as Ravi said, all of this tied into the plot, even though there were times you'd forget how or why you got from one place to the next.  Still, that randomness is part of the charm of the show.  Not to mention the great musical numbers, something which Family Guy has also learned a thing or two from with some great numbers of its own.

For me, The Critic > Family Guy > Futurama ... but all of them have their moments.  As for people (me) loving Family Guy because I didn't catch The Simpsons in its prime, I'd have to say "nah."  I'll give The Simpsons its prime.  It's definintely due that because of how consistently funny it's been.  It's probably like the Flintstones of our time.  But it's because I saw flashes of the brilliance of The Critic that I wanted to relive again.  No 15-17-year-old could convince me of that, 'cause they were probably 10-12 when The Critic was on, and most of them wouldn't get ANY of the jokes.  You shout out at random, "MEET INGMAR BERGMAN: $.25!" and all you get from them is a bunch of stares and a few quiet "Who?"s  I sigh along with the farmer as he tells Ingmar, "Best get back to the peanut patch with Polanski and Bertolucci."

I don't claim to know a lot about The Simpsons.  Just enough compared to the average viewer.  Nor do I consider any of these shows "rivals."  They all do their own thing and do it well, but they're never really competing with each other.  I do know that Futurama is probably the most mature of these shows to come along, picking up on excellent social commentaries where The Simpsons has dropped the ball.

I think what sold me on the brilliance of Family Guy, though, was one line from the pilot: "Hey man, your clock won't flush!"  The whole bachelor party scene was really brilliant, though.  (Peter, referring to the Statue of Liberty).  "Here's an idea, boys.  We'll drink until she's hot!" Then afterwards, Peter is hung over, laying on the kitchen table:

LOIS: Peter, what did you promise me you wouldn't do?
PETER: Drink at the stag party.
LOIS: And what did you do?
PETER: Drank at the sta-- whoa-ho!  You almost got me there!

"i guess i want more from a cartoon than overdone catch-phrases."  You know just as well as I do that these shows can't simply be broken down to those elements.  They're more complex than that, just as The Simpsons, of course, is more than its catch-phrases.

The Critic aired on ABC and FOX from '94-'95, then was cancelled, then aired on Comedy Central for a long time up until now, mostly on late Sunday night, early Monday morning type time slots.  It is now on DVD in the US. It also had a series of Internet shorts which aired in 2000.  Those are included in the DVD set.

Simpsons, Looney Tunes = top tier cartoons


All the rest pale in comparison. Unless we're talking about South Park, but that's a different beast.

Let's face it, Family Guy is overrated. Yes, parts are hilarious, but it's mostly fishing for a wild laugh among long pauses of total blah. It's less consistent than SNL even.

South Park really started to suck again at the end of last season, but its first new episode that aired this past Wednesday was inspired.  I just simply don't see the inconsistency in Family Guy that everyone else keeps harping on.  I guess that's because I've watched Family Guy so many times, and every time I step away from it for a few months then pull it back off the shelf and watch it again, it remains just as funny and consistent as ever.

And SNL, not that that has anything to do with anything, has been at the top of its game this year.  It's got a great cast, great writing, and even though Lorne's chosen less-than-stellar guests, they've all (except for Al Sharpton) been able to pull their own weight.

I didn't realize that my avatar would have started such a thread. I agree with Onomatopoeia and that Family Guy is quite consistent when you don't watch it for a little while. I was and still somewhat am a huge Simpsons fan, having seen almost every episode and still loving the reruns. I also loved The Critic. It was hilarious and I was quite sad when it was cancelled. Futurama is also just as funny. I actually don't see much difference in the structure of those shows, they are just there to make us laugh with witty humor and if you don't like it..change the channel eh.

I gotta agree with this.  I watch FG after the first few minutes of The Daily Show, but I wouldn't say it is brilliant or all that original.  Futurama has more going for it.  Creative characters, interesting plots, jokes woven into the story instead of random jokes that constantly take us away from it.  Some episodes are even touching.

Bethie.. the question has been asked before and the annoyance from older members is that no one bothers to Search for "custom ranks". here's the rule on them.. (these unwritten laws will soon be published in an extensive FAQ).

Quote from: Pubricku get one when we decide u need one.

to get a new rank:
earn it properly through creating a natural identity which can grow and is not one dimensional.

so it doesn't mean that u are high ranking, or even liked. sumone can make a name for himself by being ignorant, being Denmark's Finest, or tasting like chicken.
as long as u are being genuine and sincere, and are willing to stick around (anywhere from 3 months to a year) to prove this identity, u'll get one. the ppl who hav problem with being genuine over-compensate with overposting sprees, thinking that quantity over quality is the way to go. this does NOT get u a custom rank. post count doesn't mean shit.

i think u'll get one soon enuff, most of the chicks who've come by here had a good idea who they were and expressed it comfortably without phonyness.

yeah it's okay.  nothing special really

those who know fins are familiar with his love for the false, and this image is a valiant effort.  sadly it is ultimately saying nothing and the novetly of foreign children holding up our logo is short-lived

ew.  i will not face you anyday

everyone likes looking at pictures from their own movies.  the text on this 'poster' is highly distracting and your avatar would have much more impact if it was bare of the printed word

good, i suppose

poorly framed and originality is a bit on the low side, faithful friend

alrite, let's clear the shit right now.

for a long time i ignored u and u tried to get my attention, like u were in love with me or sumshit. then u took sum medication or whatever and they were the best months xixax ever had. now since that ONE time i acknowledged ur existence in the Iraq thread u've been on my balls.

we then exchanged a few PMs in which u grovelled to me in that insincere way we've come to know and hate. i responded like i always hav, i don't appreciate insincerity or ppl hanging off my dick. (haha, look at all these jokes, the way i replied was a joke and YOU couldn't take it!) so u freaked out and i let u hav the final word on PM. in my last reply i said "i made a mistake acknowledging ur existence", and congratulations u made me do it again.

oh yeah, u see, for the new ppl who don't give a shit about u and ur cause, i should explain that for months Walrus had been crying that no one payed attention to him, he got angry cos no one quoted him, replied to his posts, etc. this was during the medication times. then he remembered the theory his old buddies had: to get attention u just gotta start being me or hating me.

so let's clear the shit right now, all i've said so far is true. i again ask that u get off my sack and get on with ur life, i will not make out with you. the first thing would be to remove that abusive shit from ur signature, we are not buddies and i don't appreciate the gesture when i hav told u specifically not to talk to me or refer to me anymore.

I congratulate you on setting everyone on Xixax straight.

I'm sure you understand completely my motives, because this is after all, online.

The fact is, give it a few months, and you'll be due for another outburst.  For you, this odd bouts of insult slinging is a usual occurence.  

I don't know what you think you're accomplishing.

Whether people like me or not has nothing to do with your posts.  You name drop so often and talk shit about everyone all the time anyway, this will just blow over.

so ur not gonna remove that from ur signature and u want to stretch this out longer than it needs to?

in case u havn't noticed, i even compliment the ppl i diss, i diss when it is funny or when it is witty, u do it to get attention cos ur a fucked up little kid. just leave me alone and i will continue to ignore u, everyone else here is happy why can't u be, oh yeah u need the attention.

it's true isn't it, that this is the most attention u've got in months, i bet ur wacking off right now.

what does that mean?

all that happened, and ur ignoring all the shit i said before about what transpired, is that u wanted to be my friend, and i rejected u. yes it was that lame, u came grovelling to me that u wanted to suck my dick and i said NO. now u can't handle it.

listen man, i really want to ignore u but u make it difficult when u mention me every chance u get, it was fine when ur rank said u were in love with me cos u didn't take it any further, would it help if u got that again? then maybe we can all get back to ignoring u.

dieu, you have nothing to fear

i have a weak spot for avatars like yours.  lose the frame around the image and you'll have a full blown classic

but would god ever need to acknowledge that he was himself...

(https://xixax.com/images/avatars/191170282040afe5bec3074.jpg)

makes me think of this idea i've had for a really long time that would be impossible to realize due to physical/safety/financial issues but would look amazing.  and that other thing pic and i always talk about too

(https://xixax.com/images/avatars/8409376183fe9cfd2a4c0e.jpg)

her expression reflects her true desire to be in your avatar.  she's probably planning ways to escape the picture she is frozen in.  probably very cold

avatars are people too

please understand if you have a hand in your avatar then that hand knows that it must stay frozen at all times otherwise it will not be an avatar.  as such, some avatars get more mentally disturbed than others, which leads me to point out this important philosophy

"i could stay in this moment forever"

often uttered by lovers under covers during moments of happiness.  it would be bliss for a long time until the mind would slowly go insane.  your loved one would fade from vision as your mind tunes out what is always seen...you would want nothing more than to be away from that moment.  but that would take a very long time.  a much longer time than to get sick of being stuck eating a cob of corn for eternity (i don't like corn cobs)

as such, your avatars are stuck in this predicament.  

(https://xixax.com/images/avatars/203129522440a7ca1e024ca.jpg)

this avatar would take some time to go insane.  he is not holding a strange position but is probably upset at being resampled so poorly.  steal this photoshop

a meh

I changed my avatar out of peer pressure.  And now my old one no longer shows up in Neon's post above...  :yabbse-sad:

I changed mine.  Even though NEON approved of my previous one, it was, perhaps, for the wrong reasons?

Plus Wallace And Gromit is one of the only things that, if someone doesn't approve, I don't care.  I love them.  And that makes me... stronger than you can imagine okay that was lame.  It's late.

I was also considering using this as my new avatar:

(https://xixax.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi15.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fa385%2Fmatt35mm%2Fmain_01.jpg&hash=7e772cfaa853db1601e63b5170ec7f03b9e08696)

If you stare at the red center and move your head towards and away from the screen, the outsides look like their moving in opposite directions!  It's the coolest!  That would've been a good avatar as well.  But see, with that one, you all could say "lame," and I'd feel bad.  But with Wallace and Gromit, I'd just know that I was right and you were all wrong if you were to disapprove.

It's late.

Well, it's still there.  It's not my avatar but you know where to find it.

I've never been one to headbutt my screen, but if I were to, I know I'd want that image to make it interesting for me.

Well I can't very well change it back now, can I?  You made this bed, you have to lie in it now.

Anyway, I've been meaning to change it since she and I broke up like 3 weeks ago.  She'll be glad to know that you didn't know that those things were "breasts."  And that "breasts" had to be in quotations marks.

But I agree, it was a good picture.  I just don't feel right having it anymore.  I'll keep this one until I get ready to advertise Thomas Edison, at which point I'll make a cool avatar/poster.

EDIT:  But seriously, I can't believe you don't love this avatar.  ... you've never even SEEN Wallace and Gromit, have you?

And you'll grow to love my avatar!

That's how I knew you hadn't seen it.

But why not watch it in the order in which they were made?  "A Grand Day Out," "The Wrong Trousers," and then "A Close Shave?"

Well, they're all on one DVD disc, so rent that and watch them in whatever order you'd like.

i don't think there are any DW Griffith threads. there is only a thread for Racially Charged Films (http://www.xixax.com/viewtopic.php?t=6050&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=), and one for Racism in Silent movies (http://xixax.com/viewtopic.php?t=2972&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=). so feel free to start a thread in the director's forum for DW Griffith, a general one for him doesn't seem to exist.

for future reference, there is however a whole THREAD stickied for everyone to see in idle chatter where u can ask for help in searching. http://xixax.com/viewtopic.php?t=7892 , there we can and will gladly help u find what ur looking for without any "snobbish"ness. it works much better than victimizing urself.

also if ever u only "think" u've searched, or "don't remember" if u've searched for sumthing, u should probably actually hit that search button before u start a thread.
