All software is some ultra developed cyber warfare level shit

No one locks their car door after parking. Nor do they roll up their windows.

Also, they find parking right away in an obviously busy area .

No one locks the door to their house either when leaving.

Maybe every single person involved in the making of the movies grew up in a small town /s

Constant gear changes for no speed, acceleration or grade change of road

I'm a doctor so I know how dying people act. It's unrealistic that a dying person, like a couple of seconds before he/ she's completely gone, to talk much sense. They speak random stuff, disoriented, or in a complete panic state until they lost their consciousness and then die short after.

Every movement with a gun sounds like there's a loose screw in it (it always clicks). Also it usually has a clip of 300+ bullets.

Every mouse or keyboard input into a computer, every loading bar, every screen popping up makes screaching sounds. Except when having a failing DVD drive or broken hard disk I've never heard any computer making these sounds.

A secret tracking or listening device has a blinking red light and beeps.

Every car, always with airconditioning, drives with open windows because of the window reflections. Even during rain, extreme heat or highly contagious zombies trying to bite you through the open window.

I like it when they get real broad with it and picking up a single gun sounds more like clattering multiple guns together.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

the gun sound they always use is the sound of a colt single action revolver which has a very distinct set of clicks.

the sound design of the real world is rather boring and often unappealing. Sound designers on movies are gods of those audiotary universes, they will paint it however they want

I was behind two cars on the freeway, one in lane 1 and one in lane 3. They both decided to merge into the center lane at the same time. I remember the sound distinctly because it was so different than I expected. It sounded like two large, empty cardboard boxes hitting each other. No screeching tires or glass breaking sound (both windshields and side windows broke, but remained intact). It was very unexciting.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

yea precisely. Sound design is less about how it really sounds, but more about how you think it should sound + some flair to make it a show.

Fun fact! sometimes in movies when there's a big fire sound designers will put animal roars into the fire sounds to add an extra layer of fear you don't even realise your body is going to react to

I like the bleep-boo sounds of the command prompt scrolling by on computers.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That one actually has some basis in reality though. My terminal still dings at me, it's just that having it ding too much is annoying and out of fashion now. Does no one else remember PCs piezoelectric beeping, even before you upgraded to an actual soundcard?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I actually used to open them up and snip the wires, you don't get to hear it POST but that never really became an issue.

Don't forget the loud sound when they turn on lights in a theater.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

I worked at a place that had lights like that, took forever for them to reach peak illumination

Headrests would have saved poor Marvin's life.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

1964 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu had a bench seat and headrests didn't come until the 66 model. A 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu could have saved Marvin.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah, I noticed it didn't have a place to put headrests, so it was more of a "if this car had been designed with headrests" sorta thing.

When the character that's "driving" keeps moving the wheel back and forth just a tiny bit at a time.

When two characters look at something off-camera in the distance and stare at different points in space (why didn't the directory catch that?!).

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

I mean tiny bit is somewhat normal to correct for road camber or rutting...but those doing it back and forth like they are in a 70s pickup truck with fully worn out steering rack and bushings is pretty lame

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

When the character that’s “driving” keeps moving the wheel back and forth just a tiny bit at a time.

He's trying to keep the "hands on the wheel" warning from going off.

Mid twenties teenagers with 30 year old parents.

That's not an unfair portrayal in the southern US.
