I made this thread few years back, but lets try it again: The Big Guy rating for movies. The movie gets points depending on how many parallers it has to the TDKR. Be generous and rather give points than refrain from handing em out. For example helicopter scenes could do as plane scenes but give half points or so. +20pts Theres a Big Guy +10pts Theres a masked man +5pts "For you" -line. +5pts "You have no power over me" -line +10pts Extreme pain is mentioned +10pts People get captured as part of a plan +5pts Heroic sacrifice (like Wreckage Brother) +10pts Theres a plane scene >+5pts Flight plan is mentioned >+5pts The plane gets hijacked >+5pts The plane crashes >+10pts With no survivors +10pts Mercenaries are involved >+5pts Theyre referred as 'hired guns' >+5 Theyre quite loyal >+5 they work or end up working for no charge +10 pts CIA is involved >5pts CIA is after a scientist >5pts CIA is in charge of the operation (at first) +10pts Theres a hothead (literal or otherwise) >+5 He gets taken out (kinocked out or removed from the premises) 200/200
>200/200 But that's only 160 points. Was failing math class part of your plan?
>>142691 I removed few lines that could literally never work and forgot to change the total. Time to walk the ice.
Let's also do ranks for different Big Guy™ rating scores that go from uninitiated to masterpiece.
+10 Aidan Gillen gets at least 5% of the screen time +5 He gets at least a third of the screen time +5 He is actually a main character (protagonist or antagonist) +10 Tom Hardy gets at least 5% of the screen time +5 He gets at least a third of the screen time +5 He is actually a main character (protagonist or antagonist) How's that? That brings it back up to 200. I don't know why these weren't already points though, unless CIA in the OP already refers to actual CIA. I think the agency itself should count for some points on its own though.
The Dark Knight Rises automatically gets all the points being that it is The Dark Knight Rises.
>>142695 Considering the fact those things just cant happen in ye olde movies i wouldnt add them. Otherwise its a good idea >>142693 >0-20 Uninitiated >20-40 Hothead >40-80 Hired gun >80-120 Big guy 120-160 BRAVO NOLAN R A V O N O L A N
OP is Gothams Reckoning and starts: Movie: Home Alone >+20pts Theres a Big Guy The shovel man is a big guy and slams the two burglars. >+10pts Extreme pain is mentioned The whole movie is essentially torture porn. The burglars mention the hurting when they finally get Kevin. >+10pts Theres a plane scene Kevin's family going on the holiday trip without him. >+10pts Theres a hothead (literal or otherwise) One of the burglars gets cooked by a blowtorch, another one gets face burned with an iron. >+5 He gets taken out (kinocked out or removed from the premises) Multiple times. 55/160 So fairly decent.
>>142707 >>142708 We start a baneposters' movie database that recommends movies based on this system.
I'll do one since I saw it recently. Movie: Ready Player One >+20pts There's a Big Guy Too many characters to count as big guys >+10pts There's a masked man Two of the protagonist's friends are masked >+10pts Extreme pain is mentioned A scene where a guy's VR suit simulates him getting kicked in the scrotum >+10pts People get captured as part of a plan One character gets caught by ebil corporashun and crashes it with no survivors from the inside >+10pts Mercenaries are involved Corpo guy hires basement dweller to play video games for him >+5pts They're quite loyal >+10pts There's a hothead >+5pts He gets taken out Corpo guy goes mad in the end and is escorted out by cops Final Score: 80/160 Big Guy If it's only purpose for existence wasn't to cater to numale bugmen and pop culture faggots, I'd recommend it for the stream.
Where would King Kong rank based on all the things posted in this thread? >>58832
>>142719 Well, it IS the greatest film of all time.
>>142714 The Cinematic Initiation Archive! (Logo coming soon)
>>142723 IMDb, I'm CIA.

>>142723 >(Logo coming soon) Please tell me it's finished.
>>142750 Now's not the time for fear! Yesterday was my birthday so I didn't get much opportunity to edit. I'll get it on board, pronto.

>>142763 Please have it resemble the CIA seal! I think it's a good idea to go with your title. Perhaps add in the "db" at the end. CIAdb? An alternate suggestion is "Big Guy Database" or BGDb for short. Also, happy birthday, brother. The year count rises!

>>142763 Happy birthday, big guy.
>>142719 >Big guys, planes, mercenaries, hotheads I havent seen the OG King Kang, but i'd say pretty damn high. Die Hard 2 is a tough contender.
>>142763 I hope you had a big birthday and nobody crashed your plans

>>142767 As promised. Don't worry, no charge for them. I tried keeping the logo in the vein of IMDb, but it obviously leans heavily on the CIA logo. The plane tickets as movie tickets was entirely my idea, and I could see the tickets being their own stand-alone logo. If you want any modifications, I've got the psd and I'll oblige. I think the tagline is a bit weak, but it feels empty if I don't put anything down there. If you've any better phrases/images to put there, be my guest. >>142788 >>142775 >>142767 [/spoiler]Calm down, doctor, now's the time for cheer![/spoiler]

>>142834 Made it a png. I don't know any of that image manipulation wizardry so it ended up being a larger size despite lowering the resolution. We should also add a page to the wiki, since it's officially a thing. I could easily see myself and others watching movies for the sake of reviewing them on the CIA.
>>142840 Agreed! Plus, it gives an opportunity to have more frequent /bane/ movie nights.
Made a thing. bane.wikia.com/wiki/Cinematic_Initiation_Archive Pls add to it, I never made a wiki page before and I'd be too incompetent to build it myself.
>>142840 Brother this is amazing work
>>142840 bravo
>>142840 saved
>>142687 >>142691 >>142695 >>142692 I'd argue to reweigh it to be out of 100 total, instead of adding extra categories that are only going to be relevant to how long Gillen and Hardy are acting for, but that's just me. Maybe add "extra credit" for either or both actors being present though. >>142834 Was failing your spoiler part of your plan? >>142840 Looks good, but if it were me, I'd say to make the boarding passes at a bit more of a diagonal, assuming you've still got the working document. You've got a lot of blank space between the bottom of the top text and the top of the upper pass. Balance feels a bit off. And maybe bump the bottom text up a couple pixels so it's more away from the yellow border. Very nice otherwise though.
>>142900 How's this? Also, how about having several subcategories to measure for? So, we could have a Loyalty Score which is based on casting and the characters, a Theatricality/Deception Score, based on the visuals and events, etc.
>>142902 Much better.

>>142902 Bravo.
Dr. Pavel, I'm CIA. When will we have a movie night where we catalogue movies in the Cinematic Initiation Archive?
>>142687 Let's try this, Goldeneye >There's a big guy Bond is a pretty big guy, Sean Bean isn't too small himself +20 >For you line Not exactly, but I'm going to count "For England, James?" "No, For me" +2.5 >People get captured as part of a plan Natalia, as is standard for Bond girls +10 >Heroic Sacrifice Sean Bean does one in the beginning, but it turns out to be a ruse. +2.5 >There's a plane scene >The plane gets hijacked Bond Hijacks a plane in the opening +15 >Mercenaries are involved >They're quite loyal The villains are almost entirely mercenaries loyal to Sean Bean +15 >The CIA is involved >CIA is in charge of the operation CIA agent tells Bond that they will clean up after he disables the Goldeneye +15 >CIA is after a scientist Their goal is to disable the Goldeneye, which would require Boris, so I guess? +2.5 >There is a hothead (literal or otherwise) >He gets taken out Russian general that works with Sean Bean is pretty hot headed, he gets shot before being thrown out of a train +15 Final score:97.5 Big Guy approved
