I don't understand. Someone explain the joke to me please
Priest finds out that the kid they just raped has an STD.
How does "half my sins require antibiotics" translate to that? What does that sentence even mean?
Antibiotics are a common STD treatment
Oooooooh. I thought the joke was that this guy just raped a bunch of prostitutes, and then buried their bodies in 8 different holes dug in 8 different forests, covered in honey, placed in bear hunting grounds, during the season when bears wake up from their slumber and are instantly hungry.
Sorry, I went a whole different direction on this one apparently.
Oh...
Where did this HD version of this meme come from? I've seen Monster House, and CG wasn't that good in 2006. I'm pretty sure someone's enhanced this image with AI.
Maybe that's it. I only watched it on DVD back in the day. It was grainy and everyone's faces looked plastic and uncanny. You couldn't see facial textures or wrinkles.
EDIT: Nah, the hair in the meme is feathered. Everyone's hair in the film was solid and plastic-looking. You can see in your example images that Skull's hair is one solid piece. I still think someone at least touched up the meme a bit.
Unfortunately, I do agree with you. I think the screenshot used in the meme had gone through some sort of AI upscaling. I found a Blu-ray rip of this film and skipped around to what seems to be that exact frame.
- As you mentioned, the hair is more feathered and less solid
- The skin is more textured/wrinkly
- Even the background is changed. The cat decal has more imperfections, the menu on the wall became just a dirty cupboard or something, and there is inexplicably a TV with a stack of video games added out of nowhere.
It is possible that I am just taking this still from a file that is an old rip of the film, and that these changes that we see in the meme were part of a manual remastering effort for an official tenth anniversary rerelease of the film or something. But I think your assumption of this being an AI upscaling for the sake of the meme is more likely.
EDIT: I see that there is a stereoscopic 3D version of the film available. Again, it is possible that the differences we see here are from the 3D version, but I doubt the differences between these two versions were that drastic.
EDIT: Nope, the 3D version looks just like the 2D version.
And some of the other sins are only legal in international waters.
