She dances better in heels than I do in sneakers.

I'm sad. The first thing I noticed was all the flat tires on the cars parked on the side of the road...

Pretty sure that's just occlusion from the curb/sidewalk, buddy.

Oh hey, there are cars in that gif.

50 rounds per second, at almost $1/round these days.
BZZZZZZZZZZ...

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...

Actually, that's Star-Lord in drag. He wasn't getting enough attention yet, so....

See, this is the .GIF I remember whenever I hear about high-heeled dancing.

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.

That last one's reasonably ok, but the first two...Really, those are just matchsticks instead of legs.

They are all of the same woman.

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.

PatrThom · Jul 20, 2015

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.

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.

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

Just reminds me of how gorgeous anamorphic lens footage is.

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.

PatrThom · Jul 23, 2015

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."

Because the rest of the body has been masked, kind of looks like he's fondling an oiled up ballsack.
