Kind of related: God DAMN that man can act.

[–]Joeyfingis 6 points7 points ago

really enjoyed him in fifth element, although I really hated his smug character

[–]Vindictive29 20 points21 points ago

It takes a great actor to make you enjoy hating someone you only encounter in a movie.

[–]Joeyfingis 4 points5 points ago

very much agreed

[–]solidpanda 1 point2 points ago

The kid who plays Joffrey Baratheon comes to mind

[–]samsqanch5 3 points4 points ago

Like Cpl Upham from Saving Private Ryan. Pussy. Every time I watch it, I get pissed because of him. YOU FIRE ONE SHOT IN THE WHOLE MOVIE?!

[–]Toof 3 points4 points ago

Gary Oldman is my favorite actor. Mainly because I typically don't realize it is his performance that I am enjoying until well into the movie.

[–]Id_rather_be_eating 4 points5 points ago

Popular characters he's played: Sid Vicious, Lee Harvey Oswald (JFK), Dracula, Stansfield (The Professional), Beethoven, Rev. Arther Dimmesdale (The Scarlet Letter), Jean-Baptists Emanual Zorg (The Fifth Element), Ivan Korshunov (The bad guy in Air Force One), He was the soldier actor in the episode of Friends where Monica and Chandler get married, Sirius Black, Jim Gordon (Batman), Voiced Sgt. Reznov in Call of Duty: World at War and a couple other games, Carnegie (The Book of Eli). He just got cast for the new Robocop movie as well. Numerous other less known parts

The man has range

[–]Vaher 2 points3 points ago

He is the ICBM of the acting world.

[–]eyehate 1 point2 points ago

He was a wilted, scarred, mushroom faced skeleton of a man in Hannibal and the only reason that movie was any fun.

[–]cold_fire149 0 points1 point ago

He is such a bad mother fucker!

[–]FecalTaco 0 points1 point ago

best method actor alive, still keep re-watching old movies and suddenly realizing that he's in them.

[–]FecalTaco 0 points1 point ago

feel weird replying to my own comment but I forgot to ask what movie this was from.

[–]Id_rather_be_eating 1 point2 points ago

The Professional

[–]FecalTaco 0 points1 point ago

Yet another movie I've seen more than once and never remembered Gary Oldman, think I'll watch it again, thanks.

[–]gillyguthrie 23 points24 points ago

Game of Thrones: Where characters I originally disliked become favorites because they're the only ones left.

[–]cultured_banana_slug 0 points1 point ago

I like to flip through the GoT books to put sticky tabs on all of the character chapters. Blue for one character, green for another. That way, if the story is getting really good, I can just skip ahead because I hate waiting.

This isn't always a good idea.

"Wait... he just forgot to write the rest of the character's POV... it's in the next book... right? RIGHT? (grabs next book) NoOoOoOoooOo....you bastard."

[–]anorak_apprentice 0 points1 point ago

Where characters I originally disliked become favorites because they're the only ones left.

Ever heard of... Homestuck?

[–]TheAtomicPlayboy 22 points23 points ago

[–]GreyEarth 40 points41 points ago

[–]VestaDear 38 points39 points ago

I am deeply upset in ways I cannot explain.

[–]jakabab808 6 points7 points ago

that is going to haunt my dreams

[–]zmilts 2 points3 points ago

And this is point where someone mentions that guy from Niel Gaiman's Sandman series who has a face like this. (Can't be arsed to look up his name)

[–]CrazyBluePrime 5 points6 points ago

[–]zmilts 1 point2 points ago

There ya go.

[–]Deekzlol 1 point2 points ago

Well, sleep is for pussies anyway.

[–]IglooBird 3 points4 points ago

Everytime the OPs gif is posted, I have this secret hope this will not be in the comments. But alas.....

[–]hollander93 0 points1 point ago

Oh god I'm scared.

[–]D3adkl0wn 0 points1 point ago

this just reminds me of the old soundblaster ads in the PC mags from back in the late 90s

[–]pumpkinhooker 5 points6 points ago

It makes me sad. Right when I start really liking someone, THEY DIE.

[–]Idiotank 26 points27 points ago

No Obiwan died in Episode 4 a new hope, that is star wars not game of thrones.

edit: corrected the movie, I some how got obiwan and quigon mixed up at 4am this morning.

[–]FurryBrownGuy 11 points12 points ago

I'm not an expert or anything, but I was under the impression that Obiwan died in Episode 4: A New Hope

[–]Idiotank 2 points3 points ago

Derp, ya I don't know what the hell I was thinking at 4am this morning.

[–]GabTheGreat 3 points4 points ago

This needs more upvotes.

[–]BuddyPappums 0 points1 point ago

Done.

[–]whatupnig 0 points1 point ago

Mmm huh, we all fuck up its ok.

[–]valarmorghulis 2 points3 points ago

EHEM

I know the feeling.

[–]DarkSpartan301 1 point2 points ago

Valar dohaeris. Have an upvote.

[–]Faceless_Man 7 points8 points ago

Every time you ask when the next book is going to come out, GRRM kills another stark.

[–]Toof 1 point2 points ago

You shut up! I can't deal with any other Stark deaths. Book 4, here.

[–]poorpinto 2 points3 points ago

no not really everyone. there are sooooo many characters in that series. alot die but there is certainly a core set that stays alive in one way or another. keep reading.

[–]Indestructavincible 2 points3 points ago

No not the alot!!! It's my favorite nonimal!!

[–]SugarDuck 5 points6 points ago

Not everyone..... just.. just a LOT of people. Some you love, some you hate, and some you really don't care about either way. Some don't stay dead, some you think are dead and never were. Think that about sums it up.

[–]FromaLand 1 point2 points ago

But who doesn't die?

[–]SmuttleTouchSir 0 points1 point ago

MAJOR SPLOILERS

The 7th book ends with the sun crashing into the planet they are on. It is explained that the reason winter/summer was so long is it was an unstable rotation around the sun.

[–]Retanaru 0 points1 point ago

Well shit now I don't know if I should believe this or not.

[–]Toof 0 points1 point ago

It doesn't have to be unstable, just slower. If it takes 20 years to revolve around the sun, and the planet is tilted like Earth's, they would experience 10 years of each season. Especially if the continent they live on is only on one hemisphere (who really know how big their planet is?).

[–]SmuttleTouchSir 0 points1 point ago

Ah but but think about how the lengths of the summer and winter vary so greatly and inconsistently.

[–]TheMountainThatRises -1 points0 points ago

This guy.

Or at least I didn't stay that way.

[–]Locclo -1 points0 points ago

NO ONE

Clearly.

[–]phishf00d 10 points11 points ago

By the end of the books every last character from season 1 and 2 of the TV series is dead. About season 4 on the TV series there will be a complete new cast.

Also, winterfell got hit by a few nukes as did kings landing, so its not even set in westeros any more since its a nuclear wasteland. The rest of the books take place in France.

[–]BoyWithAThorn 2 points3 points ago

FTFY

[–]Creature0fhabit 1 point2 points ago

What movie/tv show is this from?

[–]SirRosie 2 points3 points ago

Leon.

[–]The_Jew 2 points3 points ago

It was actually called "The Professional" when it was released around here (South U.S.). One of my favorite movies.

[–]gilbatron 1 point2 points ago

wow, i didnt know i could lip read :D

[–]Ch13f 1 point2 points ago

I FREEEEEEEEEEED JUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAN.

[–]powernut 1 point2 points ago

Spoiler alert: George R. R. Martin dies.

[–]ReharshedAgain 1 point2 points ago

I stopped reading the series in the middle of book three when everyone just dropped dead. I remember uddering "Fuck this shit" and tossed the Kindle aside. Can't wait to start reading again.

[–]Brianne123[S] 6 points7 points ago

Terrible choice! Not all that died stay dead! Should keep on reading.

[–]syntheticrhythm 5 points6 points ago

Not all that died stay dead!

For that which is dead can never die.

[–]Brianne123[S] 5 points6 points ago

It is known.

[–]motorsickle 2 points3 points ago

Brianne123 of Tarth?

[–]Brianne123[S] 3 points4 points ago

Imagine my sadness when I first read of Brienne the 'beauty'.

And then bam, sarcasm.

[–]SmuttleTouchSir 1 point2 points ago

but rises again, harder and stronger

[–]syntheticrhythm 1 point2 points ago

For in his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming

[–]rovect 0 points1 point ago

Dead but dreaming

[–]Toof 1 point2 points ago

But there are fates worse than death...

[–]syntheticrhythm 0 points1 point ago

Like having a backwards foot?

[–]TheJuice79 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, that was a trip. Finished book three and just started book four. Forgot how good those books are!

[–]kewlito 0 points1 point ago

Spoilers DUDE

[–]Foostering 0 points1 point ago

I didn't stop reading but I had that same reaction at that point. Well shit! There goes just about everyone I liked! But one of my favorite things about this series is anything can happen.

[–]admanb 0 points1 point ago

I put it down for about a week because I couldn't deal. It was a good idea, and when I came back into it I was greatly refreshed.

[–]jpoblak 1 point2 points ago

What is he really saying?

[–]tehdang 9 points10 points ago

"EVERYONE!"

[–]lenigod 0 points1 point ago

Not many people die in game of thrones. Storm of swords is when it gets ugly.

[–]Graeco 5 points6 points ago

Yeah but it's just surprising how many people die in the first two because I haven't ever read a book where the author just kills people off that are important to the plot. By the third and fourth I aint even mad no mo'e.

[–]DONTUPVOTEPLZ 0 points1 point ago

SPOILER WARNING

You know, awhile ago I thought "How would the series have went if Eddard Stark didn't die?"

I remember contemplating about this for a few hours, and I can't remember everything I thought would have happened, but I do know I came to the conclusion that the series couldn't really progress properly unless he did die at that point. The character served his purpose completely - he started a war which allowed several characters (his children) to develop. If he didn't die, Robb wouldn't invade Kings Landing, Lannisters wouldn't fight Starks etc.

[–]ai1265 0 points1 point ago

Ahem. WINK HINT WINK.

[–]Graeco 0 points1 point ago

I'm not saying that all the deaths weren't necessary to the plot he elected to follow, just that normally authors elect to follow plots with the characters that they developed still in it. I've had a ton of conversations with my cousin about how freaking crazy it is that he will spend an entire book building a single plot that just fizzles or the character leading the plot just dies and it was all for nothing. It isn't done in a poor way by no means but it's still very unique.

[–]DONTUPVOTEPLZ 0 points1 point ago

Yeah I know what you mean. I just pointed out the Eddard Stark thing since his death has had the most controversy.

[–]Graeco 0 points1 point ago

I think the Eddard Stark death was just out of pure shock value. Where such a seemingly important character not only dies but it looks like he's gonna make it and then he just doesn't. That doesn't happen in a lot of books so I think people freak about it.

[–]SmuttleTouchSir 0 points1 point ago

If ADWD ends like they imply it ends plus what the letter says is true then I would say it worse.

[–]lenigod 0 points1 point ago

I still haven't gotten it yet. I pre-orded the paper back. (Consistent look among my books is what I'm aiming for, I'll be dammed if I get a hard cover)

[–]TheJuice79 -1 points0 points ago

What was it called? The Red Wedding?

[–]moses1er 0 points1 point ago

exactly!

[–]Blaster_3487 0 points1 point ago

This is sums up ASOS 2:Blood and Gold so far.

[–]PerfectSplit 0 points1 point ago

Many people die, true, but my two favorite characters since book 1 are still alive in the latest book... so hold on to hope that our favorites are the same and yours just may make it!

[–]wd111111 0 points1 point ago

As someone who doesn't know a thing about Game of Thrones, I was kinda expecting this gif.

[–]russianswhore 0 points1 point ago

I'm rereading the books! I'm beyond ready for The Winds of Winter to come out.

[–]Thorndale 0 points1 point ago

The books make me consistently sad and angry and bitter. And I love them. Fuckers.

[–]yoursweatersux 0 points1 point ago

I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE THIS GIF BEFORE I EVEN CLICKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

go me.

[–]xxmindtrickxx 0 points1 point ago

you could also put it with the tagline "whenever a successful topic is made this is who reposts" CONSIDERING THAT'S WHAT YOU JUST DID KARMA WHORE

[–]Grig132 0 points1 point ago

Eh, death isn't a permanent condition in that series. All you have to do is die around the right people.

[–]Finkster 0 points1 point ago

[–]Chinchillasrule 0 points1 point ago

This was stupid.

[–]kenelbow 0 points1 point ago

I've never read/seen Game of Thrones, yet I was expecting this exact gif.

[–]Magester 0 points1 point ago

Hmm, apologies if someone already said, but is that GIF from Leon the Professional?

[–]Smeagol3000 0 points1 point ago

Whenever I yell this at an (almost) appropriate time, most people I know think I'm nuts because they haven't seen The Professional.

[–]Those_Magumbos 0 points1 point ago

A Song of Ice and Fire is great but when the vast majority of characters you like die, things get boring.

[–]TheJuice79 0 points1 point ago

I'm on A Feast for Crows. Totally rooting for Samwell!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!

[–]BlizzyBluu 0 points1 point ago

Damnit I saw this movie but I forgot what movie and what he says

[–]BlizzyBluu 0 points1 point ago

isn't this in the movie with the guy with the plant and the girl's family died

[–]scotthendo 0 points1 point ago

I always laugh when people comment about GoT killing everyone. Obviously people around here are too young to remember Oz.

[–]EzronKun 0 points1 point ago

My mind just went:"EVERYoneeeeee!" to go along with the mouth....I'm scared

[–]keshav108 -1 points0 points ago

Game of thrones is awesome. Leon the professional also is a great cult movie. Damn you Bollywood for having made a very bad version of it!

[–]FloobLord -1 points0 points ago

Is that Littlefinger?

[–]end_guy -4 points-3 points ago

All the Starks die. LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RUINED IT FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[–]Noktoraiz 2 points3 points ago

but...that's not true...at all (at least through the currently written books)
