Here’s an old gold gif, 1903 old, taken from Edwin Porter’s The Great Train Robbery.
It is easy to see how this image inspired a similar shot in Gun Crazy, which you can see as a GIF below.

Generations from now, they won't call it the Internet anymore. They'll just say, "I logged on to the Jim Groom this morning.

Everything Jim Groom touches is gold. He's like King Midas, but with the Internet.
-Serena Epstein
My understanding is that an essential requirement of the internet is to do whatever Jim Groom asks of you while you're online.

My 3yr old son is VERY intrigued by @jimgroom's avatar. "Is he a superhero?" "Well, yes, son, to many he is."

Jim Groom is a fiery man.
-Antonella Dalla Torre
“Reverend” Jim “The Bava” Groom, alias “Snake Pliskin” is a charlatan and a fraud, a self-confessed “used car salesman” clawing his way into the glamour of the education technology keynote circuit via the efforts of his oppressed minions at the University of Mary Washington’s DTLT and beyond. The monster behind educational time-sink ds106 and still recovering from his bid for hipster stardom with “Edupunk”, Jim spends his days using his dwindling credibility to sell cheap webhosting to gullible undergraduates and getting banned from YouTube for gross piracy.

It would be interesting to compile a series of gun shot GIFs from across the decades of cinema to compare how gun violence (or violence in general) has changed on the big screen. My guess would be not much, thinking of all the old Westerns and silent films in which people are shot seemingly in every other scene. As far as violence and guns go for me, the volleys put out in defense of the British outpost in Zulu would probably take the cake for me. The final stand was especially brutal.
Also, I’m not sure how or why, but this post appeared as a Google Alert for mentioning me. Huh.
Maybe Google alerts knew you needed to see this one 🙂

Interestingly, the first guy shoots dead at the camera and in the second the woman is shooting off to the side. Her eyes seem unsure where she’s aiming.
