Mister Mind posted:Same for me when there's a distant explosion. I can't remember the last time I saw a movie or TV show when they remembered that the speed of light and the speed of sound are different. The Coen Bros.' True Grit had a several-second sound delay when someone fired a gun on a distant hill (which viewers saw through a spyglass). I was impressed.

I saw 2001 in the theater a couple years back at a film festival, and there's a scene in the vacuum of space where there's no sound. Half the audience started murmuring, because they thought something has gone wrong with the sound system.

One was the extremely western one on the old-west planet and the other was a space one where they encountered space zombies. That being said having silent space battles is an awesome choice. You can hear the screams but not the laser beams. e: and I'm both a Joss Whedon hater as well as a huge fan of Angel and MCU Avengers (with rifftrax commentary) so I sit on the fence e2: basically if you put the "microphone" in the star destroyer or whatever you can do space fiction audio, otherwise it's just *pew pew* syscall girl has a new favorite as of 23:26 on Jul 27, 2017 |

Mu Zeta posted:Pregnant lady's water breaks whenever there's about to be an action scene. It never amounts to much and the baby is always fine, but it's the reliable way to build tension. I hate pregnancy/birth stuff in movies/tv because the scenes almost always play out like 99% the same as every other pregnancy/birth related scene in anything else. As soon as a character mentions being pregnant you're just like OH BOY GET TO SEE THAT SCENE AGAIN SOON

WampaLord posted:Really, you should be irrationally irritated at all the movies and shows that do have sound in space. Turns out there is a reason for this! Psychologically, if theres no sound, humans will hone on whatever ambient sound they can. This can lead to them tuning out the movie entirely and stop watching. Sometimes it can be used to great effect but you often dont want to risk losing your audience.

One day I'll watch a show that uses heart defib gear for the correct purpose, and do CPR like it's meant to be done. I guess they will need to have a fake torso for the CPR so as not to injure the actor, but it would impress me no end.

As for shocking flatlines, twice I've seen doctors say "Eh, maybe that's a fine v-fib, shock anyway" towards the end of a code. Not like it's gonna make their day any worse, they're dead.

Oh, my mother was an ER nurse for years, and the defibrillator thing still always gets a sigh from her. She also hates it (and by extension, now I hate it) when someone gets stabbed and immediately pulls the knife/object out. "Don't you do it-- oh. Of course. Good job, he's dead now for sure."

Scrubs is pretty accurate because the medicine usually isn't at all the focus of the plots. And it's realistic in that most medicine is boring routine, and a lot of patients die from chance, error or inevitability. And if you push around a corpse in a wheelchair, no one will ask you to do anything.

Especially when the girl gets up five seconds later still wearing bra and panties both, dude's fully naked. Who has sex with underwear on? If it's a nudity thing I thought that was why they did the "instantly wrap up in a sheet" thing.

Or three quarters through the episode the patient of their family reveals they recently visited some exotic country that has a certain type of illness associated with it. What a revelation! I've not seen a ton of House but I remember being very pleased with myself when I knew the answer was leprosy (the less well-known version of the disease).

You would have to be an idiot to take House seriously. He does things multiple times an episode that would probably lose a real doctor their license, if not send them to jail (i.e. the numerous breaking and entering instances). It was a formulaic show that made medicine interesting. Scrubs made medicine entertaining by making it mostly about sex and daddy issues, house did it by making house a magical savant who knows everything.
