A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
  8. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

I will always see him as Agent Smith. Always. Even in things he was in before he ever played the Agent Smith role.

He'll always be Tick to me, the fabulous single dad from Priscilla.

[–] GlitterInfection@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Same here. I love that he blew up career-wise after that, but he was already an icon in my world!

Why is Agent Smith dressed up in a blue suit?

That's clearly Jack Nicholson and that's not a suit

He is one seriously incredible actor.

Wasn't the Matrix his break out role? (I tracked down a short he did, it was ok.)

[–] thantik@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, but then he was in things like LOTR - and it broke my immersion. I was like "wtf Agent Smith made it to the other franchises! He's spreading!"

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You said in things he was in before the Matrix.

[–] thantik@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I said EVEN in things before the Matrix. That includes things he did after the matrix too.

In the West, yes. He's known in Australia.
