Big Blog Post. For You.

The infamous video.


I feel like a lot of people are missing out on this internet joke.  Take a moment to at least watch 30 seconds of the above video. Done?  Ok, read on.

Right, so it sounds kind of stilted and unnatural right?  Christopher Nolan, director of The Dark Knight Rises, is known to have some bad dialogue in his films.  Not to discredit him, but there is the occasional slip-up.  This is probably the biggest example of that, as Tom Hardy himself change the meaning of the exchange.  As mentioned in this Reddit AMA, it was meant to be "painful for you," but he took it as "big guy for you."

If at this point you are still not amused, give me one more chance to sell it to you.

Now this big of dialogue caught fire and started to make waves on the internet.  It  took you out of the otherwise thrilling film.  Then the parodies started.  Here are a few.

"Belt loop" is my favorite thing


An electro-OPERA

You get the idea.  What gets me is that people simply liking this joke takes it to such a higher level then it could reach on its own.  The scene feeds the jokes and the jokes feed the scene.  I can't stop saying, "for you."

 Let's try an experiment, go back and watch the first video.
