Also, Umbrella Academy used "Order of Death" as music in season 2, so they're good forever in my book. https://youtu.be/EnWsAUSgsJo

I usually don't care that much about using licensed songs in media but I can't loving stand it when they chop it up and gently caress up the song so they can fit the opening and the chorus into a 15 second scene

In Aquaman, there's a scene where the bad guy is doing something, he's by himself in a room, and Depeche Mode's "It's No Good" pops up on the soundtrack. For like 5 seconds, and then it stops. What was the point? The scene isn't one that demands a pop music soundtrack, and it's even non-diagetic so it's not like it's telling us "Black Manta likes 80s synthpop." It's licensing a song because, what, you're too lazy to write your own compelling background music?

Using "two riders were approaching...the wind began to howl" as the ending quote for the issue in which two riders approach through the howling wind is so on the nose and stupid, but I love it. My IIMM with the Watchmen music isn't the Hallelujah scene. It's that they removed the ironic background commentary on the TV during Nite Owls erectile dysfunction episode, and also stripped out his psychosexual nightmares. Which means 90% of viewers are gonna take the Hallelujah scene as serious and cringe-worthy, instead of it being the funniest poo poo ever

Speaking of diegetic/non diegetic music that loving scene in Captain Marvel where the song starts playing and then she kicks a bad guy against a juke box, and you just know that they originally meant for that juke box to play a song after that, but they decided against it at some point but still left the song and juke box in the scene.

Apparently the song is about a crush, but in context its a bad guy sayin "I gonna get u, it is written, u cant hide"  quote:I'm gonna take my time

Like the old "song on the soundtrack is playing on the car radio" in a driving scene thing, where they indicate that this is the case by putting filters on the music in an external shot and removing them when the door opens. This is frequently crap because when do you not turn off the radio before getting out of the car, but it's especially crap in Species because the car was a convertible with the top down.

My favourite little playing around with music was in the casino episode of What We Do in the Shadows, where excitable vampire Laszlo (played by the sublime Matt Berry) is all hyped up and plays into the opening credits by starting the theme song on the piano. But that isn't quite the same because I suppose you could say that 'You're Dead' is the theme song of the 'documentary' in-universe. Also it's a silly comedy. e: he also explicitly is the composer of some of the incidental music they use, which is fun

This is frequently crap because when do you not turn off the radio before getting out of the car, Agreed, but: you turn your radio off before you get out of the car? Worst use of diegetic for me is in Gone in 60 Seconds where they have this ritual where they listen to Low Rider by War before they go out and steal cars. Except because the movie can't just sit there for 3 minutes and 11 seconds while the characters listen to this song, Nic Cage just abruptly cuts it off after a few seconds. It'd have been okay if they just switched it to non-diegetic and got on with the story, but they just stop it and it's (a) jarring as gently caress and (b) what was the point? It's like you wanted to establish this cool funky car-stealing mood, but then you just rug-pulled before you did it. Edit: Watched Mission Impossible: Fallout the other day. Okay, the masks that magically change not only peoples' faces but also their voice, height, weight, and gait are a rationally irritating moment, and I think JJ Abrams insisted on random light bars all over the place, but aside from that: Lark's this incredibly careful mastermind, but early in the mission he jumps into a lightning storm and almost loving dies.

The diagetic car radio thing is weird since all cars handle their radios differently. My old Ford Escape would keep playing the radio after I cut the engine, and would shut it off when I opened the door. My current roommate's car cuts off the radio as soon as you kill the engine. I could see it being an irrationally irritating movie moment if you're used to how your car works e: now that I'm not sitting in the break room at work, I can see I didn't read the irritation right. Yeah, that poo poo doesn't make sense unless they clearly left the engine on liquidypoo has a new favorite as of 01:56 on Jul 13, 2022 |

Voices are supposed to be taken care of by throat mikes but I think it is one of those things that gets kind of glossed over after the first couple of movies showing it. The first movie kind of did it best with the masks because outside of the ending all the times where Tom Cruise was pretending to be someone else it was just Tom Cruise in make up.
