Hollywood in the late80s/early 90s was run by old fucks really really convinced that 1930s superheroes were the poo poo with youth and (incorrectly) taking Tim Burton's Batman as proof of this. They completely ignored everything that was actually selling.

The only thing I remember from The Phantom was a quick scene with a guy blowing a smoke ring (at least, I think that was from The Phantom)

I'm cracking up looking at the King Features list of comics and imagining them trying to push them on the post-post-post-modern audience of 2023. Brick Bradford? Abie the Agent?? BONER'S ARK??  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Features_Syndicate#King_Features_strips_and_panels Oh and according to Wikipedia, King Features is massive and cool and you should not mock them.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Fun fact: the film's director Joe Johnston co-created the design of Boba Fett and also designed The Iron Giant and his experience on period superhero films later helped earned him a gig directing Captain America: The First Avenger I think the nerdiest series of connections I’ve ever made was when I was watching Star Wars: Rebels and realized the music during a particular scene was lifted 1:1 from The Rocketeer. The scene was the maiden flight of the B-Wing fighter, which was designed by Joe Johnston.

I think about tracking down whatever sfx library people making cartoons in the 90s used once in a while. I'm sure there's some golden oldies in there.

There was s a budget UK crime show that used the CS1.6 sound effects in what I'm sure was a totally authorised manner. My parents were watching it in the other room and it sounded like they were enjoying some casual de_dust2

I think there's a lot of cross-pollination between mediums that must come down to "we all bought the same sound library." I've heard sounds from freespace 2 in a police procedural, something showing up in american cartoons that I later heard in bubblegum crisis, that sort of thing.

Oh definitely, and it's probably been happening since the advent of TV. Back in the late 70s and early 80s there was a whole bunch of scifi sound effects that cropped up in everything and were eventually replaced throughout the 90s and 00s. The laser zaps and dragon roars in the intro to the '79-'82 Flash Gordon animated series got reused in He-Man and a ton of other series, etc etc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKFYZTn2_F8&t=40shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zIoElk3r2c&t=15s

Also a lot of those tunes we associate with silent 1920s/30s movies were actually written in the 1970s Snowglobe of Doom posted:That classic silent movie music that you hear whenever a villain is menacing the heroine is called "Dirty Work At The Cross Roads" and was written by a guy called Sam Fonteyn in 1975, about half a century after those films were made ..... but still get used and reused in dozens and dozens of TV shows right up to the present His credits include The Benny Hill Show, Natural Born Killers, Ren & Stimpy, Beavis & Butthead, Tim and Eric, Seinfeld, Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas, SpongeBob, etc etc. That's a heck of a resume.

credburn posted:/\/\ The Rocketeer was my favorite movie as a kid growing up, but I haven't seen it in so long. I'm worried it sucks It doesn't. Also there's a one-shot comic out this month partially scripted by the late Paul DeMeo, who co-wrote the movie.

Are Foley artists even still a thing? Because it really does seem like there's about a dozen or so sound libraries and Hollywood and many if not most video games have just relied on permutations of those libraries for decades now.

Ghost Leviathan posted:One thing that took me out of Nope was clearly the same horse sounds as Age of Empires II. AoE2, the sound a horse makes when you kill a knight is the same noise Imps from the 1993 Doom make when you kill them too. Supposedly it was just a generic camel sound, but it was good enough for at least 2 uses.

A lot of sounds in doom were chopped up or slowed down, or occasionally a few different sounds were overlaid, but AFAIK every sound from the original game was from a library. I know that's not true for doom 2 because of Romero's icon of sin intro.

in regards to Billy zane, i saw him in Titanic and then I think parts of the Phantom, so I thought it would be cool if his character from Titanic coped with the loss of Rose (well really the sapphire) by becoming a masked man in a jungle. I mean it was the pre-20's, poo poo was crazy.

NorgLyle posted:The thing I remember about The Phantom (aside, for some reason, from the villains name being Xander Drax which is almost a palindrome) is that I personally think that Billy Zane is a pretty attractive guy but for some reason the people making The Phantom worked overtime to make sure he looked like a complete dork through the entire run of the film. They really wanted him to be Clark Kent.

depending on my mood, i weaver from "its cool there's a sonic legacy of stock sound effects" to "im tired of hearing the same stuff, make a new stock of stock" apparently its the same with artificial flavors.

Phylodox posted:The Rocketeer is one of my all-time favourites. I watched it pretty recently and, yeah, it’s still fantastic. Timothy Dalton and Alan Arkin in particular are great, and I was delighted to spot bit part cameos by Rom from Deep Space Nine and Art from Night Court. James Horner’s score is also one of my all-time favourites. Timothy Dalton has a wonderful knack of knowing when to be serious and when to chew scenery like a man who hasn't eaten in a week.
