keep...the thumb...IN!

I'm sorry. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is not attractive. I keep waiting for her to grow on me, but it's not happening. I know hot, love hawt, banged HOT, married teh hotness. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is fugly blonde chick, period. I give next Wednesday's viewing of TF3 for the final word, but don't see much changing at this point. But hey, whatever Bay's into. *Hint hint*

I gave up on that loooooooong ago. Embrace it. It's a hand gesture, after all. Multiple meanings is perfectly acceptable in any definition. Besides, after time it does feel more wicked when gesturing thumb out.

I should give up, but it wouldn't be for the reason you stated.
Not to get into a big thing, but the horns are supposed to be devil horns... therefore theres no need for the thumb; I would know, being a metalhead, so no, its not more wicked, it just looks poser. Sorry for the tangent, everyone else.

I've really set my hopes so low for this movie that I think I might actually be ready to see it without caring if it sucks. The only thing I can honestly say I've warmed up to is the Game, and the alien sound effects added in. I like Enforcer, and think Crankcase will be cool even with the dreads.

I don't think she's that ugly... there are definitely chicks I would think are hotter who are celebs/models, but she isn't attrocious... just a lil bit of a butter face, hehe.

Dude, born & raised a metal-head here. I get it, I reeeeally do. But of all the battles to be fought, this is one I gave up on long ago. I wouldn't call it poser, more integrated. A poser can do it, but so can a metal head. The gesture with thumb means 'rock' pure and simple to so many, nevermind the devil horns intent. I mean, it's cool when you see someone just bust out the fingers, because you know they know, but still. My buddies consider the 'with-thumb' gesture devil horns, with fork-tail. I accept it, have for years. Again, it IS just a hand gesture. It doesn't take a presence or absence of thumb for rock folks to know if the person busting it is real or posing. At least, I wouldn't think so. Horns are horns, and despite some significance others have given the fingers + thumb in the past, it's very wiccan, very rockage nowadays, and yes it does feel wicked to bust.

Imho.

Rosie is the worst case of Butterfaceitis that I've ever seen.

Fair enough man, IYHO. But the metal shows I frequent would have some angry people if they saw those thumbs. I myself don't care coz I'm fairly peaceful... but some, like Proclamation and Blasphemy fans... not so much. Either way, Most of these sorts of people would agree that this is a valid way to distinguish between the less, and the more enthusiastic metalheads, since once you get to a certain level of insane metal, the crowd itself becomes more insane, and overly serious, hehe.
