I don't know how accurate he's being, but "pinging" is a distinctive sound and not anything like the Inception THWOOMs or string instruments or percussion beats.

It's in the sense of being more immediate than "go". As in you should already have gone away.

I am trying to find the movie trailer that goes with this description. I think it is some thriller type movie that come out within the last year. There aren't any sound effects from the movie in the shown scenes put there is this constant pinging throughout the trailer that makes the transition from one scene clip to another. There is also some intense talking in between pings. Does this vague description ring a bell for anyone?

It's not really a pinging, per se, but the first trailer that came to mind when you mentioned this recurring noise was the incredible trailer for A Serious Man (one of the best trailers I've ever seen, still):

One of the few trailers I can vividly remember the first time seeing. It was in 2009 before that stupid Taking Woodstock movie.

Let's also not forgot that the movie fully delivered. great trailer, even better film.

Generally speaking, what percent of a film's final audio mix is ADR? All of it, with set-captured audio as a reference for ADR performance? Almost none, except for dubbing over background noise? Only action scenes where there's too much going on? Can only be answered on a film by film basis?

Sammy Davis Jr. Jr. is also in repose.
It really does depend on the situation. Ideally, you'd want to use sound captured on set as much as possible, since it's the real deal in terms of what was delivered at the moment. Of course, as you noted, things can crop up that requires ADR, background noises, equipment failures, difficult scenes, a need to clarify something with dialogue, having no audio equipment as you shoot because you're a terrible filmmaker, Hal Warren, and so on. I think you can be pretty safe in saying all films end up needing some amount of ADR for one reason or another, but the extent of how much varies.

This actually makes complete sense, given 50 Shades of Grey's origins as an erotic Twilight fanfic.

I'm wondering if anyone knows the name of a movie I saw about half of. It wasn't very good, but it's bugging me because it doesn't seem to exist.

I thought the movie starred Owen Wilson, but he doesn't seem to have been in anything like this. Anyway the plot of the movie was that the character that I thought was Wilson was a sort of beach bum/ocean salvage diver who was in the process of getting a divorce from his wife who may have been some sort of archaeologist when he found a shipwreck full of treasure.

I'm only being half-snarky here, a lot of the appeal of The Shining is how its openness and ambiguity mean that there are countless possible interpretations. Even the explanations that the book offer aren't the be-all end-all because the movie is such a completely different beast.

The room 327 was the site of an old woman who killed herself in the bathtub after the young man she was having an affair with skipped town. This is not explained at all in the movie but is instead detailed in the novel. However, Kubrick did not give a poo poo about what the book did so the room can mean pretty much anything really.

I haven't read the book myself but I'm told that in it Tony is Danny communicating with himself from the future using the Shining. He goes by Tony because his full name is Daniel Anthony or something like that.

Which is an alright twist but I like the movies approach of not explaining at all it's much more satisfying.

Reading the synopsis of the book after having seen the movie is the most bizarre loving thing, like I'm sure the book itself is a fine read but trying to imagine what happens in the book like the movie is just surreal.

It's definitely ambiguous but I've personally always interpreted Tony as a kind of 'Dumbo's feather' coping mechanism that Danny has for understanding / dealing with / using his gift. Something he'd probably grow out of.

The made for TV movie sticks much closer to the book, including the future Tony thing, but it's not a very good movie at all. I feel like Kubrick's film at least translated King's horror atmosphere from print to film fairly well, even if the themes were altered.
