I made this thread few years back, but lets try it again: The Big Guy rating for movies.
The movie gets points depending on how many parallers it has to the TDKR. Be generous and rather give points than refrain from handing em out. For example helicopter scenes could do as plane scenes but give half points or so.
+20pts Theres a Big Guy
+10pts Theres a masked man
+5pts "For you" -line.
+5pts "You have no power over me" -line
+10pts Extreme pain is mentioned
+10pts People get captured as part of a plan
+5pts Heroic sacrifice (like Wreckage Brother)
+10pts Theres a plane scene
>+5pts Flight plan is mentioned
>+5pts The plane gets hijacked
>+5pts The plane crashes
>+10pts With no survivors
+10pts Mercenaries are involved
>+5pts Theyre referred as 'hired guns'
>+5 Theyre quite loyal
>+5 they work or end up working for no charge
+10 pts CIA is involved
>5pts CIA is after a scientist
>5pts CIA is in charge of the operation (at first)
+10pts Theres a hothead (literal or otherwise)
>+5 He gets taken out (kinocked out or removed from the premises)
200/200

But that's only 160 points.

+10 Aidan Gillen gets at least 5% of the screen time
+5 He gets at least a third of the screen time
+5 He is actually a main character (protagonist or antagonist)
+10 Tom Hardy gets at least 5% of the screen time
+5 He gets at least a third of the screen time
+5 He is actually a main character (protagonist or antagonist)
How's that? That brings it back up to 200. I don't know why these weren't already points though, unless CIA in the OP already refers to actual CIA. I think the agency itself should count for some points on its own though.

OP is Gothams Reckoning and starts:
Movie: Home Alone
>+20pts Theres a Big Guy
The shovel man is a big guy and slams the two burglars.
>+10pts Extreme pain is mentioned
The whole movie is essentially torture porn. The burglars mention the hurting when they finally get Kevin.
>+10pts Theres a plane scene
Kevin's family going on the holiday trip without him.
>+10pts Theres a hothead (literal or otherwise)
One of the burglars gets cooked by a blowtorch, another one gets face burned with an iron.
>+5 He gets taken out (kinocked out or removed from the premises)
Multiple times.
55/160
So fairly decent.

I'll do one since I saw it recently.
Movie: Ready Player One
>+20pts There's a Big Guy
Too many characters to count as big guys
>+10pts There's a masked man
Two of the protagonist's friends are masked
>+10pts Extreme pain is mentioned
A scene where a guy's VR suit simulates him getting kicked in the scrotum
>+10pts People get captured as part of a plan
One character gets caught by ebil corporashun and crashes it with no survivors from the inside
>+10pts Mercenaries are involved
Corpo guy hires basement dweller to play video games for him
>+5pts They're quite loyal
>+10pts There's a hothead
>+5pts He gets taken out
Corpo guy goes mad in the end and is escorted out by cops
Final Score: 80/160
Big Guy
If it's only purpose for existence wasn't to cater to numale bugmen and pop culture faggots, I'd recommend it for the stream.

Please have it resemble the CIA seal! I think it's a good idea to go with your title. Perhaps add in the "db" at the end. CIAdb? An alternate suggestion is "Big Guy Database" or BGDb for short.
Also, happy birthday, brother. The year count rises!

As promised. Don't worry, no charge for them.
I tried keeping the logo in the vein of IMDb, but it obviously leans heavily on the CIA logo. The plane tickets as movie tickets was entirely my idea, and I could see the tickets being their own stand-alone logo.
If you want any modifications, I've got the psd and I'll oblige.
I think the tagline is a bit weak, but it feels empty if I don't put anything down there. If you've any better phrases/images to put there, be my guest.

Made it a png.
I don't know any of that image manipulation wizardry so it ended up being a larger size despite lowering the resolution.
We should also add a page to the wiki, since it's officially a thing. I could easily see myself and others watching movies for the sake of reviewing them on the CIA.

I'd argue to reweigh it to be out of 100 total, instead of adding extra categories that are only going to be relevant to how long Gillen and Hardy are acting for, but that's just me. Maybe add "extra credit" for either or both actors being present though.

Looks good, but if it were me, I'd say to make the boarding passes at a bit more of a diagonal, assuming you've still got the working document. You've got a lot of blank space between the bottom of the top text and the top of the upper pass. Balance feels a bit off. And maybe bump the bottom text up a couple pixels so it's more away from the yellow border. Very nice otherwise though.

How's this?
Also, how about having several subcategories to measure for? So, we could have a Loyalty Score which is based on casting and the characters, a Theatricality/Deception Score, based on the visuals and events, etc.
