<p>Someone suggested to me to just make an animated GIF of the entire movie, since there&#8217;s no part that isn&#8217;t awesome. I&#8217;d so do it, if I weren&#8217;t sure my laptop would explode during the attempt. This Arnold vehicle is easily the most perfectly distilled form of 80s action, with unbelievably corny one-liners, hilarious gore, and one man killing an entire private army.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I can&#8217;t even bring myself to type much about the movie, as I feel that the following GIFs will say more than I ever could. Hit the jump to enjoy fourteen GIFs of a combined 35 MB or so to totally destroy your browser.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span id="more-2538"></span>This first one I made years ago and is still one of my proudest GIF moments.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t know how I manage to procrastinate just posting links to other sites. They do all the work.</p>
<p>The first site has to be <a href="http://www.flickchart.com/">Flickchart</a>. All it does is pit movie versus movie, and you need to pick. That&#8217;s it. Sounds so simple, right? Next thing you know you&#8217;ve ranked 500 movies, and they have been ranked in a terrible order, so you need to rank more to fix it up, and then you&#8217;ve done another 250 rankings, and holy shit I&#8217;ve been on this site for two hours. Sometimes, the matchups are terrible for a dozen straight, and sometimes, you can&#8217;t choose:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="mind blown" src="http://somewhatmanlynerd.com/pics/commandovspredator.jpg" alt="" width="456" height="203" /></p>
<p>Apparently, the site is still in beta, but you can click <a href="http://tinyurl.com/flickchartreg">this link</a> to get straight through and register and start wasting your time.</p>
<p>After 1757 rankings, my top 10 looks like:</p>
<blockquote><p>1Â  Â Â Â  Â Â  2001: A Space Odyssey<br />
2 Â Â  Â Â Â  Â The Godfather<br />
3 Â Â  Â Â Â  Â Die Hard<br />
4 Â Â  Â Â Â  Â Pulp Fiction<br />
5 Â Â  Â Â Â  Â Fight Club<br />
6 Â Â  Â Â Â  Â The Godfather Part II<br />
7 Â Â  Â Â Â  Â Terminator 2: Judgment Day<br />
8 Â Â  Â Â Â  Â Dumb and Dumber<br />
9 Â Â  Â Â Â  Â Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind<br />
10 Â Â  Â  Raiders of the Lost Ark</p></blockquote>
<p>Think<em> Dumb and Dumber</em> looks out of place? Fuck you.</p>
<p>Ok, enough about a flavor-of-the-week internet time waster. <a href="http://www.flipflopflyin.com/flipflopflyball/">Flip Flop Fly Ball</a> is no wannabe social networking site. It&#8217;s just the coolest collection of sports graphs I&#8217;ve ever seen. It makes you aware of just how insane Yankees ticket prices are, just how racist the Red Sox organization is, and just how little a percentage of Major League baseball players get into the Hall of Fame. And it does all this with pretty colored graphs that I wouldn&#8217;t mind having on a wall.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="the beginning of a proud tradition of hating black people" src="http://somewhatmanlynerd.com/pics/redsoxracist.jpg" alt="" width="596" height="905" /></p>
<p>Last &#8212; but certainly not least &#8212; is a website with even prettier pictures than Flip Flop Fly Ball. It has to be in contention for greatest Tumblr blog. <a href="http://fuckyeahchristinahendricks.tumblr.com/">FUCK YEAH RED</a> is a site dedicated to Christina Hendricks.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="jesus mary and joseph" src="http://18.media.tumblr.com/CuZDotL7An1ocq6kODoDhZn4o1_500.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="672" /></p>
<p>Uh, yeah.</p>
<p>One note: she is marrying that dude in those pics on the first page. If you don&#8217;t know who that is, it&#8217;s the guy who eats a bag of shrooms and says &#8220;I&#8217;m freakin&#8217; out, man!&#8221; in <em>Super Troopers</em>. THAT GUY. THAT GUY IS STICKING HIS PENIS INSIDE CHRISTINA HENDRICKS. I don&#8217;t even know how to feel about that. Should I cry? Should it give me hope? SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT TO FEEL&#8230;besides that feeling in my pants.</p>
