What takes you out of a movie?

I can't stand bad CGI. If I know it's CGI then it's bad.
>>
Tone

If a director doesn't know how to keep a steady or appropriate tone the movie is instantly garbage.
>>
>>66919734
For me it's when a movie can't follow it's own internal logic.

Example: Pixels.

When they're doing the Pac Man run through New York, somehow Peter Dinklage can fucking teleport or some shit. Later, we find out that he had cheat codes etched into his glasses or some shit. How the fuck are you trying to play off the fact that you're using cheat codes in a real-life game?
>>
Sometimes it's something as simple as shitty cuts.
>>
extras looking at the camera during city walks
>>
>>66919905
I was watching the Goosebumps episode about the Headless Ghost because that was my favorite book of the series and there were as many cuts as a Youtube Vlogger. Triggered the fuck out of me.
>>
Overused stock sounds.
Doors opening, wind, children laughing, crowd cheering/gasping.
>>
the wilhelm scream....fuck you directors, the nods to the scream arent necessary in every movie

How about Vase Breaking, or Cat Meowing Loudly?

yup keked indeed, and still no clue.thanks for that

>If I know it's CGI then it's bad.

Even if the CGI is good I still notice it's added in by a computer
>>
>>66920258
Know exactly what you're talking about, but I have no idea where to find it.

Starcraft sound? I swear 95% of that game's sound design was stock sounds
>>
>>66920230
No, that's not the scream I'm thinking of...
>>
cars inexplicably explode on impact .this is more of an 80s and 90s thing but still happens from time to time

vocaroo it. you'll either get an answer or we'll get some laughs.

I was unaware there was a method for bringing a computer to climax

explosion walking away. JUST
>>
>>66919905
Yeah, it takes me ages to engross myself in the film if there's a shitty abrupt cut or something. Another is when movies break the 180 rule, which happens a lot. It just looks so, so ugly.
>>
>>66920284
I'll bet there are hundreds of instances of background and buildings that you've never given a second glance.
>>
>>66920258
>>66920298
Holy shit I know what you guys are talking about but I don't think we're ever going to find it
>>
>>66920258
What is the sheee--whoooo sound played during? What's it an effect for?
>>
>>66920258

Is it one of those classic ricochet sounds from Bond and old Westerns?

>watching Mississippi Grind
>they fuck up the CGI in the opening shot

The secondary rainbow is supposed to be reversed color, you don't even have to be autistic to notice this, it's a rule of nature. If they would've spent 5 seconds and done a google image search it could've been avoided.

It wouldn't be a big deal but if you've seen the movie you'd know it's how the two main characters randomly meet up, "DID YUO SEE THAT RAINBOW THE OTHER DAY?!" and then they spend the whole movie betting on shit related to rainbows and see anything related to rainbows as a good omen.

all kinds of stuff. villain superweapons, star trek machines, i think i heard it in indiana jones. Lately i heard it in the bumper video for Hotel Hell (commercial break)

This. Doesn't. Fucking. Happen. When. Someone. Hangs. Up. A. Phone.'

Holy shit this drives me nuts. I get it's sued to let the audience now the other character hung up and the line is dead, but good fucking god.
>>
>>66920455
no

in the ballpark, but no. This is more of a "big" noise
>>66920592
no, i know that noise well, as a buddy of mine made proton packs for hte comic con and did a fine job of it. We could even hear them starting up over the noise of the crowd. good times.
>>
>>66920621
so carl from the walking dead then, i agree
>>
>>66919734
"The phone number is 555-"
>>
>>66920427
It's the noise that comes up when you launch the Starcraft launcher. I swear it must be this.
>>
>>66920639
maddening, huh? Hard to communicate the memory of a noise.
>>
When it's obvious they just put their own computer graphic/screen over a cell phone screen. I don't know why, it's just so annoying. We all know how most phones menus and stuff work by now, why make up your own screen for an iphone or samsung
>>
>>66920685
I know EXACTLY what you are talking bout but given the descriptions in that post I think you're thinking a different noise?
>>
the way hacking is done. drives me fucking insane
>>
>>66920739
Most of the time that's for copyright reasons.

I agree it's fucking stupid though.
>>
>>66920767
idk

Who's gonna reinstall Starcraft and rip the noise?
>>
>>66920685
>>66920767
it might be. i've never played starcraft. sorry.

Sheeee--Whooooooo...!!

Crappy character development.

Currently half-watching Stealth right now and watching Lucas, Biel and Foxx try to establish themselves as "likable" is just awful. I just want to get back to the mediocre action.
>>
>>66919734
When the characters don't speak the language they should be speaking.

It's why I couldn't take Schindler's List seriously. I imagined Spielberg thinking, "Those fucking idiot Americans won't like shit shit if they have to read subtitles," and it takes me out of the film.

>>
>>66920893
I tried to get a friend to watch Primer, and it was only then that I realized how awful the acting in it is.

He couldn't get through 10 minutes.
He regularly makes jokes about it now "Hey wanna put on primer?" and makes fun of me for having enjoyed it and hyping it up.

I still like it, but I now realize the acting is in fact pretty bad. I don't know why it never occured to me before
>>
>>66920911
Fuck that movie sucks but I get such a boner for AI systems no matter how bad the film is. Somehow a working/thinking AI is just cool.
>>
>>66919813
That annoyed me too, especially considering they could have fixed it by having the aliens be "sporting" enough to provide you with the tools you needed to beat their creations.
>>
>>66919734
People being shot/stabbed and INSTANTLY dropping dead.

okay, i actually found it in an episode of "Hotel Hell". It's at the end of this recording, which is five seconds long. listen carefully as it goes to commercial

I'm not sure how ashamed I am for this but I fucking lost it at the pep talk to the army soldiers scene.
It was the only part I really laughed at.

Took me over half the movie to get over the fact they mad Kevin james president just to justify having access to govt stuff

I actually thought the movie was almost okay, if it weren't for Adam Sandler's Jewery and Josh Gad having sex with literally Q*bert

When the timestamp/video bar on a recording characters are watching in a movie doesn't make any fucking sense at all

>>66921198
Looper literally just told you to not worry about it.

I loved it.
>>
>>66921168
Who the fuck is perpetuating this?

Everybody knows about computers now. Is it the one ancient sound guy who doesn't know better or just someone who tricked everybody into thinking those sounds are "more cinematic" so he gets paid more?

When people have conversations in more than one language.

One character speaks one language, another character speaks another language, they don't speak to each other in each other's languages, and yet somehow they both understand each other. Like, when it's Han and Chewie, okay, I'll allow that, but when it's two people, it's annoying.

More annoying is when two characters, one a native English speaker, the other a native foreign speaker, start having a conversation in the foreign language, and they'll flip in and out of English, usually for the more significant lines of dialogue, because obviously the audience are so dumb they can't pick out the more significant lines, can't pick up on the emphasis if they're having to read subtitles.
