Bring out Gifs!

I know little-to-nothing about guns, but aren't those casings hot? I think the vibrations would be irrelevant since I'm burning the shit out of my legs because I decided to wear short-shorts.

They are very hot, yes. They spray away from her, but yes, she's risking leg burns. Reminds me of the video where...

 
I think the same thing with all of these videos, which is that I'm expecting one of her legs to snap in half at any moment.

They're not too thin to be pretty in my opinion, it's just the additional height of the shoes makes them look even thinner, proportionately. I'm sure that's the idea. At any rate, they're durable enough to haul around those shoes.

Then I guess it's the pants giving her a slightly more fleshed--out look, or that video is from a different time period. Either way, her legs are too thin to be pretty in my opinion.
I think the aspect ratio is off... the first two, judging from the cars and such, look like they were squished from 16:9 to 4:3, whereas the last one looks like it was cropped.

Sort of reminds me of how when they adapted The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension to TV/VHS, they chose to squeeze the credits sequence narrower, instead of Pan'n'scan it, bringing about my first encounter with NOODLE PEOPLE. At the time I didn't understand things like aspect ratio, of course, and I thought they just shot it that way on purpose with a funny lens.

Theatrical credits:


TV/VHS credits:

It would not be the first time that someone played with aspect ratio to make themselves look thinner.

This was really common back in the 70's/80's with old kung fu movies on UHF. Everything would be normal-looking throughout the entire movie, but you'd know the movie was over a good 10 seconds before the credits rolled, because everyone would get all stretched out.
 
You know, I hadn't seen it in so long that I didn't realize those end credits almost make it look like the end to the fictionalized adventures of a younger, more rugged Bill Nye.

Hi, sorry, can we go back a second to the dancing videos?

Who fucking cares if she's attractive or not? Her dance moves are goddamn impressive.

It's like every gif of a dude you gotta say, "I'm not gay or nothing, so I don't find him attractive, and I don't think he's that attractive anyway, but it was kind of funny how he got stuck in that canoe."
 
I have discovered a website to make gifs from YouTube videos. Awwww, dis gun b gud!

My first try:

I get the feeling this'll come in handy should Charlie ever rear his head again.
