LITERALLY A BIRD posted:this entire movie is an iimm I think it's pretty rational to be irritated by it tbh. The only good thing I can say about it is it isn't the worst thing amanda bynes has been in, but it's close. That honor I think goes to Sydney White. It irritated me from the grave of my memory because the person who wrote the plot summary I read on wiki to refresh my memory to make sure I was thinking of the right movie is extremely verbose. This paragraph:  makes my blood start to boil just like it did suffering through this garbage movie.

I get irritated when I'm watching an animated film and recognize a voice but can't place it. Drives me to distraction and if I can't figure out who it is I have to stop the movie and look it up. Otherwise i find it impossible to concentrate.

I am enraged by guns in movies that sound like a drawer full of scrap metal every time someone moves them, as if the director/sound engineer has subconsciously associated the sound of a pump action with any outside force acting on the weapon. Dude raises his rifle to take aim: TCHK CLICK CHK SHACLICK TICK Dude pulls a single-action revolver from its soft leather holster: TICKTICK CLICK CHICKADICK

I used to own ferrets and it always bugged me how, if they show up in a movie, they give them weird cooing and clucking and squeaking noises. Ferrets hardly make any noise at all and if they do it's a subtle back of the throat happy sound. They don't make any sound at all when they're just walking around. https://youtu.be/ddGwvveSXxM

I never noticed this until it was pointed out online: Desmond Llewelyn was very obviously reading from cue cards during his scenes in Goldeneye. I can't really blame him, though, since he was getting up there and had been in most (if not all) of the Bond movies.

Speaking of James Bond, and I may have brought this up before, but what the gently caress is up with the sound design up through Goldeneye? Certain sound effects, especially explosions, are the same ones they'd been using since Dr. No and it's really obvious. Go to the climax of Goldeneye where everything is blowing up and you'll hear what I mean. It's really jarring for a 1995 big budget action franchise film.

I mean, I know it’s the IIMM thread, but the reason those sounds exist is because if they weren’t there the audience would be unnerved by the lack of sound and get pulled out of the movie. Ferrets and guns both get weird sounds because even though everyone knows better, without audio cues the audience will miss things.

But would it hurt to just use a generic click when someone aims a break-barrel shotgun as opposed to the standard " CHK CHK" noise? I'm far from a gun person but drat.

Related to the sound effects, I've also noticed there's visual shorthand for audiences as well. For instance, if a character is smoking marijuana, they will only be using a joint or an obvious plastic bong. You will rarely see someone using a bowl because those usually made of glass and your average viewer thinks crack before weed.

As a gun having person, I was also in Foley classes and did a few side projects in it. Guns sounding realistic sounds awful because it's practically nothing. Cloth movement is more loud than a moving gun of almost any type. In cinema you don't get all senses, you only really get sight and sound. In my studies, I tended to "make up" for the lack of certain senses, so it's easy to understand how the entire industry would trend that way, to the point of unintentional comedy. I wish they could convey the concussiveness of gunshots with more bass punch. I feel like it would drive home to more people how powerful and dangerous they can be. Another iimm is satellites. I'm a satellite transmission tech and most satellites don't work the way they do in almost ANY movie. You can't move a satellite most of the time, although I'm not educated in how spy satellites are controlled, my elementary understanding of orbital mechanics gives me reasonable assurance it's not like it is in 80% of movies either.

Something related, in the Netflix show 'Dark', people are shown playing the game 'The Surge', which is neat because, hey, relatively modern game. What they're showing, however, is a split-screen coop mode in a game that, to my knowledge, completely lacked one, which made me excited since I'd love to play that game with a friend. I immediately looked online to find out more, only to discover that this was something put together explicitly for the show, and not a mode that exists. Bummed me out. But, you know, props to the show creators to actually getting a real game on the screen.

I always thought that the sound effects bugs make in movies where the protagonist is shrunken down to their size was just for artistic license, like a Ladybird making helicopter sounds, until I heard a loud "BRRRRRRR" in my ear, like a helicopter or lawnmower. Turned out a ladybird had got caught in my hair and the sound of it's wings that close up really does sound like that.

Funny thing is you can tell in the scene with the split screen that they're faking it because their PS4 controllers aren't lit up. Then later when a character is playing the game solo the controller light is on.

Maybe it was just me, but John Wick 3 really did this a lot better than any other shootymans movie I've seen recently. When I saw it in the theater, every gunshot felt like a cannon going off next to my head. All the foley work felt really viscerally percussive (i could feel the concussion from that library fight that opens the movie), but the gun sfx stood out the most.

Something I liked about Patriot Games, when they're doing the satellite flyover they have to wait until it's over the area and then it's only over it's target for a limited time. That said the quality of the images were probably way overstated. I kind of doubt you can do thermal imaging like that from space.

Chapter 2 was just as good in the theater, specifically the catacombs scene with the booming shotgun and the assault rifle. The John Wick series is my go-to answer when people say that there's no reason to see movies in the theater anymore. You'd have to have a real top level audio setup at home to even come close to replicating that.

Sound effects are a funny area. You can tell certain sound effects come from a CD catalog. And these sound houses that are hired to do the sound effects for TV/Movies still have these 25 year old catalogs at their disposal. God willing, they have new stuff or actually maybe record their own sounds. Then you get a guy like Ben Burtt who really loves his job and goes out of his way to record new effects for everything. Foley is great, but it seems like not every show has the budget or time for it. And really it's for the stuff that just wasn't audible or needs to be sweetened (like footsteps). But yes, every gate sounds like dungeon cell door thanks to cheap sound houses that still feel their 20-disc CD catalog with maybe one to three versions of a sound effect shouldn't be tossed out because they're recouping the costs all these years later and that no one will notice. Or even worse, the producer says add a little more umph to that gate shutting, the sound guy pulls up the only sound he has on his hard drive, and that medieval iron clunk is "perfect!" I remember another scenario one time, this was on the sound editor. Our producer noticed that they added crickets to the establishing shot of this house in the evening, when adding the final audio to the film master. It was middle of winter, snow visible on the ground in the shot. Some of these editors are just on auto-pilot and drop in the standards, and don't second guess it. Luckily the audio operator had access to the editor's tracks and just hit delete. Kramdar has a new favorite as of 22:11 on Jul 24, 2019 |

I don't know if that's Keanu's or Chad's influence but it seems kind of rare.

This & also for me, the tire screeching sound effects for cars. I've seen plenty of new & old movies where they do the sound effect of tires screeching on pavement, but they're driving on dirt in a desert or some poo poo. It's the stupidest thing.
