714762, The Cinematic Moratorium Posted by SoulHonky, Wed Aug-10-16 01:05 PM
What do we need to stop seeing in films?
For instance:
- Star Trek has to stop blowing up the Enterprise. - X-Men has to stop blowing up bridges - Big lights firing into the sky has been done to death. - The "He's right behind me, isn't he?" and "I'm right here!" jokes
What are some other things you'd like to give a time out?

714763, "I'm okay" and Wilhelm scream Posted by handle, Wed Aug-10-16 01:18 PM
#1: First, get rid of the Wilhelm scream - it's so overused now it's not funny at all.
#2: If someone is thrown out a window and into a wood chipper don't then have them do an off-screen voice over says "I'm okay." Just realize they are not okay - and quite possibly dead.

714764, Also, that one red-tailed hawk cry. Posted by SoulHonky, Wed Aug-10-16 01:26 PM
It's EVERYWHERE! Usually it's thrown in for comedy but it was in a crucial scene of "The Path" and took me out of the moment.

It fucks me up because I use it as my text ringtone for my close friends, so any time I hear it I instinctively reach for my phone

714792, The Inception trailer Posted by will_5198, Thu Aug-11-16 09:06 AM
- dramatic strings - BRAAAM sound - crescendo into silence where the film's thesis one-liner is delivered

714796, BRAAAM sound Posted by handle, Thu Aug-11-16 11:21 AM
Before that (and still) there's the waah-silence-waah-silence-waahwaah-shortersilence-waahwaah-sorter-silence-dopler-efect-waaawaah sound that cam to prevalence during the pod race on Phantom Menace.
I think the BRAAAM sound become prevalent with War of The Worlds?
But the Inception trailer seems to have introduced the use of geometrically folded cityscapes - I just saw one in Star Trek Beyond - hard to believe their city planners would watch Inception and then design a star base after it.

714880, no more 'sudden' appearances of helicopter etc sans presound Posted by rdhull, Sun Aug-14-16 08:32 PM
All vehicles or aircraft should be heard from a distance and louder as it is close
No more mac truck startlingly appearaning with horn blowing just out of nowhere, same with helicopters

714899, I want them to do it in the next film.... Posted by CaptNish, Mon Aug-15-16 12:48 PM
....and have it fail.
I was really hoping it was gonna fail in TFA. I thought it would'e been a brilliant spin and would've made the First Order a legit threat. Now they just seem like a joke that the good guys made look like bitches.

you know, the outsider who within days/weeks or sometimes months not only learns the customs and ways of a culture and people, but becomes one of the most popular members of the community and best at whatever they do in short time. ______________________________________________________________________________
