This is a trailer for the upcoming movie, GIMP: The Movie. The film follows Spencer Kimball (Johnson) as he creates the photo editing application, GIMP, and takes Photoshop head on. Can a free, open source app take down Adobe’s capitalistic behemoth? Spencer’s internal battle reflects his external fight with the titans of the industry.

Pork Johnson stars in a potential Oscar turn as the muppet puts it all out there in his portrayal of Spencer Kimball, the founder of the photo editing software, GIMP. Compared to the likes of The Social Network and with a “chilling” and “memorable” performance by Pork Johnson, this movie should not be missed.

It took a few years for Weird: The Al Yankovic Story to go from a fake trailer to the real deal. I have hope!

So many people are going to show up to the theater and be disappointed when they realize it’s about a software developer!

I didn’t know I wanted this movie, but here we are.

finally, 15 years after the java movie!

Please tell me this is a joke.

Also this is too late. Had they done it around ~2000 it might have been more relevant. Or “hip” I guess.

Wait we’re two days early

Is this a joke?

Hey man, show some respect. This is serious cinema like Schindler’s List and Legally Blonde.

This has such a “Barbenheimer” composition lol.

huh I wonder if there’s a significant day coming up around which jokes tend to accumulate?

This was posted on here like a month ago. Date has nothing to do with it.

That was unexpectedly pretty great.

Tap for spoiler

I thought it was going to be a serious movie. Then the puppet appeared and I was like okay maybe they are having fun with it. Then the war scene got me.

Doesn’t seem like this is going to be a real thing, but I want it to be.

Didn’t you notice the April 1 release day???

I didn’t see it and can’t find it now. Can you point me to it?

Edit: Found it. Small print at the bottom, time: 1:50.

I watched it did the second time and it was funny as the first time!
Amazing job!

Is this about how the guy in Pulp Fiction turned his life around to do graphics instead?

With that title, I was expecting Cronenbergian body horror

Alright. I’ve got to admin. I’d watch that movie.

Waiting for GIMP 2: Krita Rising

They should have had teh dev say ‘it is almost done, just need to work on the UI’ and then get drafted to war where he gets domed by a 50 cal and then completes the project. Would have been more accurate that way.

… and takes Photoshop head on.

Well, sort of “side-on”, if it were “head-on”, they’d copy the interface more closely. Which is what they need to do to get Photoshop users to switch.

YOU CAN HAVE NONDESTRUCTIVE EDITING OVER MY DEAD WILBUR!

The video game adaptation will be the next AAAA game

The game is already out https://www.gimp.org/downloads/

Given the state of the Internet today, I’m gonna need to see the DLSS 5 before and after

They don’t know how this one will go and GIMP 3 is in production. Franchises are crazy
