Should be the entry in Brewer's Phrase and Fable under "People will see what they want to see".

 

[Yossarian]

I bet he spent ages practicing his mugshot expression

"What about this one Melania, does this say 'determination' to you?"

"I don't care about your fucking mugshot, Donald, get out of my bedroom"

This is going to be a great month for T-Shirt companies.

I bet it was like in those old black and white court films when all the court reporters run to the phone booths when the verdict is released.

Never seen it

Never seen it

oh you have to!

 

[krtek a houby]

Never seen any of those films, Naked Gun etc

Watched Police Squad when it was repeated. Mildly amusing.

Was just about to post the same, ridiculous.

Oh my God, he totally did.

50 million in violent agreement sounds on the high side, that's more than two-thirds of the people who voted for him in 2020 - when he urged supporters to come to DC to "Stop the Steal" on Jan. 6, 2021, maybe 100,000 showed up from across the country, a fraction of them walked to the Capitol. Maybe 2,000 of those entered the building and a lot of the most violent rioters are now in jail.

At the recent indictment, the pro-Trump crowds have been small and peaceful - there might be a lot of people engaging in violent rhetoric and possibly a larger number than usual of losers joining militias and parading around the woods, but I don't think there's that many people still willing to go to jail for Trump.

My phrasing was clumsy. I didn’t mean that 50 million were willing to follow him into war. I just meant that there are a good 50 million who are in very strong, emotionally profound agreement with his rhetoric (regardless of whether or not Trump lives up to that rhetoric). You can’t wish away those 50 million people (or however many it is). They don’t disappear when Donnie goes darko. Unless you engage with that massive group of people, they’ll be there, waiting for the next proto-fascist ideologue to speak to them in a way that resonates. And maybe that one will be better at it.

Never seen it

You've got to see it. And Top Secret with Val Kilmer.

The creative team called themselves ZAZ (Zucker, Abraham's and Zucker). Watch everything by them but start with Airplane!

 

[Serge Forward]

Top Secret it a great film When they made it, the writers didn't know any German for some of the "East Germany" dialogue so they asked their gran who gave them some Yiddish phrases instead.

I've got it on dvd somewhere but will see if I can find it online to watch again at some point.

Never seen it

I spent years seeing various clips, finally watched it last year. It's really fucking funny all the way through.

"The Kubrick stare", apparently

 

[bluescreen]

Well, I'm a bit disappointed in that mugshot. To hear Sarah Smith describe it on the radio I imagined it to be more dignified somehow, but the camera angle really diminishes him. Can't imagine anyone other than a real diehard seeing it and thinking 'Wow, that man must be a hero!'

 

[Lord Camomile]

when Donnie goes darko

 

[Lord Camomile]

(I agree with the broader point of the post, too)

Really?, to me its extremely flattering. Compare it to most less entitled perp's mugshots and even impromptu shots or the orange twat himself and its obviously been very carefully shot to make the cunt look almost human (miserably failing in that of course)

edit: are you basing that on the copy of the pic shown in this thread?

Taking it well

I know that scowl is supposed to be macho and threatening, but it looks like the face of a schoolboy who's being sent to detention.

Hopefully it looks like someone who will keel over soon.

yeah I was getting strong "kevin the teenager" vibes as well -

It reminded me of Zoolander's "Blue Steel" look, but more "Orange steel."

I saw one comment "what's he got on his head?"

 

[RainbowTown]

Just released: the two other mugshots that he didn't want published.

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

The other thing I noticed is that he was allowed to have it taken in a suit. If you look at most mugshots, they are either dressed in orange jumpsuits, or they have something like a barber's cape around them to take away any individuality. None of these people had to submit to that. Not one.
