Aside from being quite grainy, it's another Real Life/meme image. Why not use something from the actual film?

It's a bit subtle, but I like it. [tup]

Definitely pull the current.

Not sure about the suggestion though, as for there’s nothing indicating the things reflected in the glasses normally don’t look like that. Could we get a screenshot or something from the film that makes it more clear?

Suggestion looks more like this TLP.

[up]Yes, but my point is that what the glasses are actually seeing are not very clear, and that it just looks stylized in the form of that TLP.

Yeah. I don't know much about current/whether it's a meme (just looks like a regular grainy screenshot to me), but it definitely illustrates better than OP - which would only be illustrating this trope if that was what the sunglasses-wearer's actual eyes looked like.

It's marginally more illustrative, but not by much.

[up][up] It's definitely a meme, that's George W. Bush being looked at through the glasses.

[up] It's clearly not an image macro, though.

The OP is a prettier image but it doesn't seem to illustrate the trope. So Keep Until Better Image Suggested for me.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

The image currently has more artifacts than an excavation site, though.

Yeah, the current is a bit grainy, but it illustrates the trope better. Currently I prefer current to suggestion (and please don't use the phrase Keep Until Better Image Suggested if there is a suggestion).

I don't mind current, but 13 also works.

13's good. [tup] It's in and tagged, although I made it smaller so it doesn't hang so far below the description. Caption?
