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.

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.

97porcentofracassado ,

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

BCsven ,

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

chiliedogg ,

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

ElderWendigo ,

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?

nomous ,

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.

shneancy ,

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

r0ertel ,

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.

shneancy ,

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

jenny_ball ,
@jenny_ball@lemmy.world avatar

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

Jank ,

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

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.

@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

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.

some_guy ,

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?!).

anachronist ,

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.

BCsven ,

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

Well that’s me with Messmer yesterday…

tfw_no_toiletpaper ,

I love this fight. Very punishing, but this one and Midas were very hard and still1 fun to learn, also reliable to dodge. Rennala though… took me at least 60 tries and I only got through with parry & bleed dagger (My build is FTH / DEX with colossal 💀). And then the endboss - honestly no idea how to do it…

Kiosade ,

Rellana was fun! I was using backblades at the time, and so with my mimic and the summonable NPC, it was like a freaking anime battle. Just constant dodging and sword slashes from all sides. Much more fun than the lion.

MonkeMischief ,

And the story is set in modern times but it sounds like an 80’s arcade cabinet. Bwoop-bwoop pew pew!

Granted some people are so focused while gaming that they look like drowned salmon, but streamers have proven you can still be emotive and act whilst gaming lol.

Getting over it is overrated anyways.

Most of the time when someone talks on a cell phone the screen stays on. Like wtf is the purpose of that?

Matriks404 ,

Drivers also tend to keep attention on the road a lot less in the movies.

Ookami38 ,

I dunno, have you seen the drivers out there? Pretty sure some of them are watching movies.

RememberTheApollo_ ,

They are. I’ve seen phones being on magnet mounts or held on the steering wheel with videos playing.

uhN0id ,

And I always anticipate an “unexpected” crash that almost never happens. Even in shows where it would never happen.

ElderWendigo ,

That view of the driver, looking out from the front passenger side out the driver’s window always makes me anxious for this reason. It’s like Chekhov’s gun. Why would they pick that angle unless the characters were about to get T-boned?

Sprokes ,

For it is :

  • Preparing a huge breakfast and then they take a bit and they say I need to go
  • People drinking coffee or other drinks but you see clearly that they don’t, why film that ?
  • Turing the wheel of the car like crazy when they on a straight road.
  • Wearing shoes inside the house even when they are about to go to sleep.

Turing the wheel of the car like crazy when they on a straight road.

Just drive like Nicholas Cage drives.

Annoyed_Crabby ,

Wearing shoes inside the house even when they are about to go to sleep.

As an asian that will be scolded if i ever do that, it weird me out and it does left an impression that westerner wear their shoes inside their house.

Slovene ,

I think it’s a USA thing. We don’t wear shoes inside the house in Europe.

BCsven ,

Could be, when I came to Canada and aome Canadians wore shoes in the house I was stunned. Like, it is just not right; Nevermind all the nasty shit you stepped in all day.

margaritox ,

I agree. Wearing shoes inside is really gross.

johannesvanderwhales , (edited )

A lot do, but also a lot don’t. It’s household by household.

I’ll also mention that you can probably expect people who grew up in no-shoe households to have strong feelings about it.

dditty ,

My boomer parents have dedicated inside shoes for this purpose. When you get old and have hardwood floors you need the extra arch support and traction. Podiatrists recommend wearing shoes inside.

Katana314 ,

Eating and drinking on set is notoriously difficult to pull off. You see one take, but the crew has done about 17 takes of the same scene. Even with chefs on hand, they can’t bloat the actors up with food. Hence why in most dinner scenes, there’s a lot of cutting and mocked chewing but little goes in their mouth.

Sprokes ,

It is not that difficult as other directors do it well. I see that in Japanese shows. It is OK if actors pretend to eat or drink when it is believable. In many episodes of Seinfeld we see the actors drinking coffee but we can clearly see that they weren’t taking a sip.

jsomae ,

I hate that people never say “bye” on the phone.

MutilationWave ,

I say it sometimes. Is “aight” a good enough bye, what about “later”? Sometimes if it’s a quick work call hardly anyone says bye.

allywilson ,

I say bye all the time. Every phone coversation.

yokonzo ,

Nah, same for the work calls

jsomae ,

Nah, I don’t think “aight” suffices, but “aight, later!” would work.

noisefree ,

You have to tell them that you love them, everytime, or it’s not even close to a proper bye. That’s how you get an in with the HR folks really quickly so you know that they have your back. Work on easy mode, more or less. Like and subscribe for more social lifehacks.

wieson ,

Are you even allowed to end a phone convo without 20 byes and 30 ciaos?

DNOS ,

What Is ciaos ? Is It commonly used also in english or are you an Undercover italian ? 🤔

wieson ,

I’m German, but we use ciao all the time (we spell it tschau)

Slovene ,

Same in Slovenia. Čau!

DNOS ,

That’s curious I knew some German gettings but never heard of it … Seems most languages have a similar one somehow kinda cool …
