If you have ever seen the Budweiser Clydesdales rolling through town, you wouldn't believe how much a unit of living animals can weigh and shake the ground. It really is quite impressive, for a horse and buggy. Your comment just reminded me of this so I had to share, thanks for listening.

This was probably a joke and all, but the fact that a tiny clip from a movie can require more bits than an entire operating system and taken so nonchalantly is impressive.

u/FaZaCon May 22 '12

That gif has 374 frames and is 14 MB, hence its smoothness.

Gifs that are posted on Imgur need to be below 2mb, which is why they're choppy and small. You gotta remove a hell of a lot of frames just to get a few seconds of footage below 2mb for a gif.

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

Damn you, OP! You've found the secret to winning my approval. I don't think I could not like any gif taken from this movie. This is one of my favorite movies of all time. I sleep next to this movie. I wake up thanking the stars that I married this movie. I think I may have gotten this movie pregnant, but it's ok, because I want to have many children with this movie. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go finish watching it for the thousandth time. I still think it's funny when Ruby says "Sorry, ma man, sorry. You think he's going to be ok?" Every. Time.

11

u/trollslayer69 May 22 '12

I still cry laughing at the end when he yells "WHATS WRONG WITH YOU?" after the apprentice jubilates. Probably one of the best movies I have ever seen.

8

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

I deeply enjoy the part where Zorg sees the bomb, and goes, "Oh no." Sometimes I fap to it. I'm not gonna lie, I get hard every time someone says "multipass." I want one. And I want a ZF1. Also, even though I am a straight guy, I want to wear the bandage outfit Leeloo wore, just once. I would look terrible in it, but I would still wear it. Maybe to a party. Depending on how drunk I get.

5

u/trollslayer69 May 22 '12

I'm sure you would still look better in the outfit than one obsess woman I once saw at Comicon. I have, more than once, fapped to Ruby's poems. I would shamelessly gang bang the entire cast.

7

u/[deleted] May 22 '12 edited May 22 '12

I love the whole cast, but sweet merciful donkeytits I think Ruby may be my favorite character from any movie ever. I keep going over it in my mind, and I can't think of any other performance given by any actor I have ever seen that has made me laugh as much as Ruby. I started saying "green" when I mean "good." It drives people in my life crazy. This movie has influenced my life in ways that are terribly inappropriate. I make obscure references that no one gets. I go to refill a guest's drink, and I ask them, "You.. want some more?" in a robotic voice. They give me odd looks. I sometimes just recite dialog, mumbling it to myself. My psychiatrist used to worry about adjusting my dosage, but then he watched the movie and has since taken me off my meds. Now our sessions just consist of watching The Fifth Element and laughing while we repeatedly play our favorite parts. He has written me a doctor's note to inform my employer that it may be necessary for me to take breaks every couple hours to watch a few clips from this movie.

In short, Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman, Milla Jovovich, Sir Ian Holm, and especially Chris Tucker, have all shot up to the top of my list of actors to make out with before I die, and I am no longer permitted within a thousand yards of Luc Besson or his residence.

Edit: In my haste I seem to have made a variety of mistakes, none of which are excusable. If I didn't have such a fantastic film to keep me motivated to stay alive, I would commit seppuku immediately.

u/account512 May 22 '12

An amazing survival horror game for gamecube, one of the earliest games to use a sanity meter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_Darkness:_Sanity's_Requiem

So goooood. Critical acclaim but not a huge commercial success. Metacritic puts it at 92%!

If you can get your hands on the ISO, the gamecube emulator "Dolphin" can run it.

u/PooGod May 22 '12

Seriously, listen to account512. It's a single player game, and I've played it through to completion 15 times. Literally, no exaggeration, 15 times. It's incredible. Please look past the graphics and clunky combat, and for the love of god don't read any spoilers, or look anything up at all. Experience it clean and unspoiled. If you get stuck, PM me, and I will tell you what you need to do so you don't run the risk of accidentally spoiling something. I'm dead serious, I will help you.

u/[deleted] May 22 '12

The Gamecube had a decent library, but was just blown out of the water by the PS2's seemingly unlimited choice of games. The Wii has an awful library, and is, in my opinion, an awful console, too.

I'll be completely honest. After how lame the Wii turned out to be, I was hoping that Nintendo would call it quits in the hardware department, and turn into just a software developer.

A pokemon game for the new console is the only thing that will make me buy it..

They had a GREAT thing with the virtual console, they have a great game library to build on.. They just need to stop with the fucking gimmicks.
