Obsession fuels it, I can usually remember the scene I want when I have a good joke or text post to go with it. Then it’s a matter of slapping the images and text together.

I have *~a particular skill set~* w/ enough photo and video editing training that I can pull frames from my DVD copy of IWTV but it’s gotten a lot easier over time for just about anyone with even the most basic knowledge of apps to do some of what I can do here and sometimes I have to resort to more basic programs when I don’t have access to my higher-powered stuff at home.

There are tutorials on Youtube for grabbing images and making gifs in various ways. That’s how I learned to make gifs. I would include links here but there are too many to choose from! And it depends on what software you have and how much photo and video editing you already know.

I use Adobe Premiere to capture frames, and Photoshop to manipulate them and add text. I pay for both legally. I recommend that so that you can have a clear conscience and also you can call Adobe for support!

You can also do it with MSWord, MSPaint, and there is free screencap software out there (I think the Snipping Tool is already installed and free w/ the Windows operating system), just get a copy of the movie so you can pause it and pull your screencaps!

Brad Pitt is doing a subtly different performance in these two roles, using similar physical mannerisms, but not identical. A comparison can be drawn. Maybe Louis would be the colder version, Mills the hotter version, of reacting to this similar situation.

  • Both have been roughed up somewhat by their antagonists at this point, but are dressed nicely. 
  • Both are reacting to the first moment of being informed that their wife/S.O. and infant child was murdered (for Louis, Madeleine is the freshly made child!).
  • What’s especially upsetting about Louis’s loss is that it echoes the beginning of the movie, in which he’d lost his wife and child in childbirth. He’s come all this way and IT F*&KING HAPPENED AGAIN GDI SANTIAGO ;A;
  • What’s especially upsetting about Det. Mills loss is that he didn’t know he was going to be a father! ;A;
  • Both have to grieve very quickly in order to move on to…
  • ☆*:.。. ~VENGEANCE~ .。.:*☆
  • Det. Mills serves it up fresh, impulsively, just walks right into the trap laid for him by his antagonist.
  • Louis serves it a bit cooler, the next night, with some planning involved, and alot more death, taking his antagonists by surprise.
  • Both essential use fire to do it. Firearm! Get it?? yeah.
  • Louis knows Revenge is a dish best served en Flambé.
