There's lots of things that take me out of the movie watching experience but Foley jokes aren't one of them.

I mean, FUCK MITT ROMNEY.

Can't it be both? I love a good Wilhelm, but it definitely pulls me out of the movie.

For me, it's jumped the shark or nuked the fridge or screamed the Wilhelm. It's not an inside joke anymore. It's too widely used and it's in the public consciousness now. Hell, they're even talking about it in the Portland Mercury for god's sake.

Filmmakers should use it like they use breaking the fourth wall -- for a specific reason. Knowing it might break the narrative flow of the film for just a second, but if it's used for a purpose, then it just adds more to the overall film.

something something WORSE THAN HITLER
something something WILHELM REICH

Best I can do for now, must clear head.

I was pleased to note that there was a scene where the scream would've fit right in on The Avengers, then was annoyed that I actually noticed that.
I guess it's just that every time I hear it, it's yet another, even subtler reminder of how unimaginative film makers have become.

I love catching the Wilhelm just about every single time.

Please wait...
