Luke, soy su padre. (and if that's wrong, blame babelfish)

[thehefner]

So, who'd be willing and able to do an updated, animated version of my icon here based along a cropped version of the following, because really, this is too good. God, it's just hypnotic, right up there with the Billy Idol in a Winter Wonderland and Hulk Hogan's best pirate impression as he sneers out "DOO-KIEEE?!?!" Which, if you haven't seen, I'll post for the next "Talk Like A Pirate" day.



¡ES IMPOSIBLE!

Soy TU padre, actually. Su would be "his". Fucking Babelfish.

"Su" can also be the second person singular, used formally. In this case "tu" is a more appropriate translation because Vader is trying to make a family connection.

I'm afraid I can't help you with the icon making. And I would still like that Billy Idol icon. One day man, one day... ;_;

But I will say that I've always been struck by how ugly Mark Hamil was when he cried in that scene. It wasn't some single trickling tear or watery eyes nonsense. No, it was full out bawling in rage and pain. And I always liked that as a kid because I'm an ugly crier, with chin-puckering action, and it was the first film I saw that reflected that. And I still really like that scene.

Of course, I was imbued with Star Wars at such a young age that I have no memory of my reaction to seeing that infamous reveal for the first time. For as long as I remember it was something I've always known. Though I do remember seeing Raiders of the Lost Arc for the first time when I was about five and getting scarred for life by the melting Nazis. Yeah, my late grandmother had...odd ideas in what sort of films would be appropriate for a young child. She also thought that my toddler brother would enjoy Zulu.

Oh. My. God. They're hypnotic. Did you do these?? I'm so crediting you.

Wwwwwwow. I can't stop giggling.

But oh noes! The files are too big!

[tompurdue.livejournal.com]

These should fit

Nope, sorry! The Spanish one that I went to upload reads as 84 KB, and the max it can accept is 40.

If this is going to prove to be too much work, it's really fine, no sweat! I can happily live without it, and will at least post them in their own LJ entry. Because man, they really are hypnotic.

Sorry, man. My gimp-fu is not strong enough.
