Sound tradition at it's greatest.

I laughed my ass off, a couple weeks ago, when I heard it in LOTR: Twin Towers. It is my mission to use this in at least one of my future films.

It's also in Return of the King, and I'm pretty sure in FOTR.

It's also in King Kong.

If I do any of your movies I'm definitely putting it in. It's a tradition.

LMAO, too!
But I ain't watching twelve minutes of that shee-ite.

However I will offer: http://www.freesound.org/samplesViewSingle.php?id=13797

Don't say I never give you anything, now.

Just wondering, if the official Wilhelm scream is public domain? If not, the studio owning it should make a big deal of making it so, it would be a great marketing campaign.

Don't you mean "when"?

"A Slow Death" (the next Cracker Funk feature) has many death-scenes, including a 2-3 minute montage of death, to open the movie. Don't worry, it's a feel-good comedy, I swear. Also, about halfway through the movie there is to be a violent car crash, with a lone male driver. Many opportunities for the Wilhelm scream.

Yes Cracker, I did mean that!

I like to do "light" research.

I'm loving the audiophile pissing contest.

Yeah, yeah, I get the joke; can we move on now?

It's gotten to the point where the Wilhelm Scream can pull your audience out of the film unless you are doing a comedy. So if you use it it had better be mangled and buried.

That's a very select audience. I believe it flies over the head of 99.99999% of general audiences. And it's pretty new to me. I still get a giggle when I hear it.

I'm sorry, but when my nine-year-old is always pointing it out - without any prompting from me ("Why do they always use that sound da-da?") - the joke is getting tired.

 

[Utopia]

Just think of the residuals... Boy oh boy.

I noticed it when I saw Star Wars 300 times as a kid.

I also noticed the Goofy Holler "yaaaaaaa ha ha hoooeyyyyyy"

Hah. That's kinda cute, actually. I guess the fruit don't fall too far from the tree.
