Goofs & Clichés

I hate that sound effects companys rely so heavily on old sound bytes. I mean, ever hear a semi drive by in a movie? It's always the same honk! [short beep, short pause, long doppler fading beep]

In Commando, a nice yellow car gets "totaled" on one side, next scene, it doesn't have a scratch!

Characters that wear glasses, their face isn't distorted because they are not lenses, just glass. And when they move about, reflections are not in perspective, it's flat.

These don't bother me that much , but they disappoint me. They pretty much tell you that the movie that you're watching didn't make any serious effort to make it a good one.

Heh, I don't think anyone really honks like that. I usually give people a short honk, just to wake them up, but if they're blatantly disregarding everyone around them, I drive by and give them a nice, looong honk as I cut 'em off and blaze forward. But sometimes I get held on a red light as soon as I cut 'em off, in which case, I glare at them through my rear view mirror for the remaining period... and then I blaze and go back to the future.

Do you mean someone who drives every other day? If that's the question, the answer is no. I drive daily, though not as frequently as I did before the oil price hike. I guess on Sundays, I try and stay home.

Or even worse, glasses that don't even have any, erm, "glass".

Here in the UK, there's this short squeaky little baby laugh that tends to end up in 99% of adverts that features babies.

Semi = semi-articulated truck.
