Monday Morning Mock Draft: Hey, Not So Loud!!

(I can’t think of a decent featured image for this one; someone hit with me some little people!)

Greetings, folks.  I write this after having gone out to dinner with some friends who know the owners of the restaurant, (and who I suspect bankrolled at least some of it), and let me tell you, an unexpected friends and family discount appearing on the bill after a good three hours of various wines, beers, appetizers and far too much pasta than is healthy, is a true delight.  My stomach is groaning in all kinds of weird but good ways.

Speaking of sound effects…

(You like that segue?  Smooth and subtle as hell, unlike this tequila, Grand Mariner, Triple Sec, leftover watermelon juice margarita I’m working through right now)

this week’s mock draft idea comes from the esteemed Rikki-Tikki-Deadly.  No doubt inspired by the near constant hum of vacuuming COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE, Rikki has suggested “movie sound effects.”  As RTD notes this could be a tough one, but they can’t all be “let’s fuck a cartoon”; at some point we need to put a little work in, and this does lend itself to some interesting choices.

Rikki has the first pick, and he’s gone with Die Hard’s scene where the vault opens to the tune of Beethoven’s 9th:

Hopefully that works.

With the second pick I’ll take the alarm guy from Kentucky Fried movie.

The rest of you are on the clock.

This isn’t a movie, but it has a great fart!

That’s great value.

There has to be a GOT-related fan edit of this song out there somewhere:

500 thrusts per minute is almost ten thrusts per second. That seems like too many.

Not when you compare it to a vibrator…

When Ricky is taking the equipment JRoc bought with the boys’ weed money, the keyboard keeps going, “Jroc Baby!”

Here’s the greatest sound design in motion picture history. It’s from the movie “Which Way Is Up.”

Watch the whole video or just go to 4:30 for the payoff.

I hereby draft the sound of Richard Pryor getting a vibrator shoved up his ass:

Ok coming for value–Indiana Jones’s whip crack

He’s got a little brother still in his redshirt year that’s an even better prospect:

Last one (for now, at least) – The sound of a TIE fighter. Based on the sound of a Stukka dive bomber & created by combining the sounds of an elephant call and a car driving on wet pavement, apparently.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RD9NapbTeKs

WCS

sound cannot travel in a vacuum.

BugEyedBoo

I’ve made my peace with that, and lights pointing at faces inside space helmets. Ex: The Expanse. There’s a lot of details done right, but we still have space noises and lights in helmets. Have to get our attention and have to see the actors’ faces.

I’ve always wanted to be a foley artist, but have the imagination of, well let’s be honest, an old white suburban IT guy, so that’s gonna limit my ability to do the work.

I thought this movie sucked pretty hard. But I did like the tripod sounds.

I liked that movie.

BugEyedBoo

Pretty much every character in that movie annoyed the fuck out of me.

not seeing how R2D2’s sounds weren’t already picked…

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem

Because they are closer to dialogue than sound effects

SonOfSpam

Hurley staying at UConn.

One of the rare cases where Horatio and I are both happy with a sports outcome.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

4. Pretty much any gunshot from any Michael Mann film would make for a solid pick, but I think I’ll focus in on this one from Collateral. My understanding is that the sound is recorded live; it’s not added in later.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Correction: in the Heat shootout they used the original sound. Not sure if that is true for the Collateral gunshots.

Also, since I’m late I’ll go ahead and Minnesota Viking my second pick:

3. How can we forget the simple delight of Ferris Bueller’s coughing, sneezing, and farting keyboard?

The inspiration for Gene Belcher, I’m sure!

2. Transformers…uh, whatever number, they’re basically all the same movie.

The sound of the 105 shells firing absolutely blew me away when I saw this in the theater. Felt like the whole building was shaking.

Modern day weaponry makes Michael Bay’s dick hard.

IIRC, the wet, squishy sound of Dr. Beeper sitting in a puddle of Spaulding’s barf was disturbingly realistic.

The sound the weapons in the Flash Gordon movie.

I just watched Godzilla Minus One a couple days ago and it was pretty good. A solid 8 on the Matt Ryan scale.
