I still chuckle every time I hear the Wilhelm scream.

Once I knew to listen for it, I find it jarring and cringeworthy tbh. Really takes me out of a movie

[–] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Buzz Lightyear makes that sound when he’s knocked out of Andy’s window.

I think a Nazi or two also scream Wilhelm-like when Indiana Jones punches them off a car.

In TLOTR: The Two Towers, some dude is falling at Helm’s Deep and does a Wilhelm. I think it’s after a scary flying beast that’s naughty picks him up and drops him from really high up.

In Spidey Into the Spiderverse, Spidey punches a crook and the crook Wilhelms about the audacity to be hit by Spidey.

When Luke Skywalker gets his hand chopped off by a sharp light blade that’s burning hot and stuff, he screams Mark Hamilly, and not Wilhelmly. Thank you, Luke.

Man, a comic book speech bubble in a Spiderverse movie that just says "Wilhelm Scream" would be hilarious

This comment could've kept going for another thousand paragraphs.

[–] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Same. It breaks the immersion and reminds people that they’re watching a movie.

They used it perfectly in The Hangover. I never listen for it, but they made it painfully obvious and got a surprised chuckle out of me.

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago

That one rusty door opening sound.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

Noooo! Those are the real sounds of Aquaman swimming through the ocean at 90 mph!

Foley artistry is really cool to learn about

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

It was my dream job, when it was actually a guy making sounds. Now it's all digital and on a computer. That's no fun. I wanna smash fruit with weapons and make weird noises for movies

Good ol' General Series 6000

I swear some ~~comic movie~~ fans are the stupidest people alive

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 66 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mean I still find it funny, I find it entertaining when it's found out that an extremely high cost production used something that I have access to

[–] And009@reddthat.com 41 points 2 years ago

It's more common than you think

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 54 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just a crumb of media literacy for an old seppo?

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He is responsible for making me the way I am…

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A clever folk hero, right?

Right?

If a movie isn't brave enough to put their main actor into deep water with no breathing equipment with a ton of sharks just for the poster picture, then I'm not watching it

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

The movie would have made more money if someone was mauled by a shark and it led to a boycott

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 40 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That last Aquaman movie is genuinely one of the worst things I have ever watched.

I stole it and I still wanted a refund.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

I think I made it halfway through. On 4 tries.

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I thought at first they had left the watermark in (no pun intended). That would've been a big fuckup.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 2 years ago

Are you saying that mofo can't breathe under water? Cause if so, I want my money back.

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

To be fair I would have expected a tiny bit more effort.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 32 points 2 years ago (1 children)

For the poster? Nah. They're right, that's what stock photos are for. What, you want them to whip up a unique CGI model for no discernable improvement in quality in a still picture?

[–] Chadus_Maximus@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No. I want them to photograph real sharks. No CGI.

[–] MacStache@programming.dev 19 points 2 years ago

Good news! Someone already did and is selling that photo in stock photo services!
