We don't need your reaction gifs in this subreddit. Thanks.

[–]EntingFantastic 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, I'm gonna delete it this. /r/scifi is actually good.

Is that the guy with the glasses's tongue or bottom lip? It's killing me...

[–]mjayb 0 points1 point ago

I'd say bottom lip. Please don't die.

[–]alchemeron 0 points1 point ago

He's pushing his lip out with his tongue.

I am not a Nolan fanboy. I think Batman Begins is extremely mediocre, with some fundamental problems where it comes to filmography, editing, and scripting.

The Dark Knight is a great movie, but that's despite the Batman character. Not because of him.

The trailers for Dark Knight Rises look silly to me. I'll see the film, but I don't believe that Nolan is God's gift to cinema and do not automatically assume it'll be a good flick.

Not a native speaker, but I believe mediocre has no comparison degree, and using it in conjunction with a superlative makes you sound like a sniding asshole - in my ears at least.

[edit] Yes'ir.

It's idiomatic, as in "deafening silence."

"Asshole" contains no hyphens.
