The Profile Picture Thread

Tell us what's in your profile picture, and rate the person above you's profile picture.



My profile picture is Jackie Chan, an antagonist getting his neck cracked by a fictionalized Bruce Lee in 1972 while filming Enter the Dragon.


What's yours?

Mines the silhouette of a wolf howling, with the moon set in the background.

I’ll rate yours 8/10

Mine is a schizophrenic cat.

I rate the above 8/10. Wolves are cool.

I'll give it a 6/10. Looks nice with the colours.


Awaiting someone else now.

Is yours by a famous painter, Balor?

Yes---it is by Louis Wain! https://www.dailyartmagazine.com/louis-wain-cats/

As his mental condition worsened, his cats became more and more flattened into floral surfaces.

I knew that! When I was a kid we had this set of Time Life books, one was called The Mind. One section of the book had artwork done by artist who all suffered with mental issues. I remember the cat image as the book demonstrated how Louis Wain's cat art became increasingly detached from reality ending in some really bizarre abstract cats. I loved the way he captured emotion in his earlier cat art.

Cool! I really had not heard of him until the last few years, when I was getting into the British band Current 93 (which features his art on several album covers). From what I understand, Wain used to do a lot of children's books when he was still cogent, and I have been meaning to search for whether any reproductions of them are still in print.

Would @Mr Minio like to tell us where his profile picture is from? None of us have a single idea.

Oh it's a default avatar from some generic website.

Ah, I thought so.

Mine is William Holden as Pike Bishop in Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch (1969).


ActionRocks I rate your avatar, I dunno...a 6 out of 10.

My profile picture is Karl Urban’s chin.

My Lord, what an actor that chin!

It's Franco Nero as "Space Jesus" in a weird movie called The Visitor from 1979. He memorably says "mutant" with the accent on the "tant" in his opening speech. Not a thing you forget (well, maybe I don't because I'm a geek).

10/10. Can't go wrong with Dredd.

My avatar is a picture from a Christmas project I did pre-Covid. It is Zombies attacking Santa’s Workshop.
10/10

Looks like Gingerbread Man from Shrek. 8.5/10, pretty creative.

My avatar is a GIF of Peter O'Toole in a famous scene from Lawrence Of Arabia. Unlike many other places I rarely ever change the one I have here. The only other one I've had is an image from Robot Monster (And also a variation of it with snow coming down during one of the Christmas seasons if that counts).

Technically, my profile picture is Orson Welles & Rita Hayworth from The Lady from Shanghai. Whilst my avatar is Humphrey Bogart from The Maltese Falcon.

I'll give everybody a 9 out of 10 for their avatars, all very cool choices...but a little time in Photoshop could make some of the images sharper and more defined.

My avatar is just a picture of an old-fashioned movie palace - there's still no place I'd rather watch a movie!

I rate the prior avatar an A+ - very classy!

Mine is me as a baby.

I rate the avatar above me a 9/10, looks very nice.

Like Elvis says, 'thank you, thank you very much.'
