Using stock photos as intended? LMFAOOO

wait till this kid learns about sound effects libraries

I still chuckle every time I hear the Wilhelm scream.
- Once I knew to listen for it, I find it jarring and cringeworthy tbh. Really takes me out of a movie
That one rusty door opening sound.
Noooo! Those are the real sounds of Aquaman swimming through the ocean at 90 mph!
Foley artistry is really cool to learn about
- It was my dream job, when it was actually a guy making sounds. Now it's all digital and on a computer. That's no fun. I wanna smash fruit with weapons and make weird noises for movies
Good ol' General Series 6000
Or Turbosquid.

I swear some comic movie fans are the stupidest people alive

I swear some ~~comic movie~~ fans are the stupidest people alive
- Touché, seems like every fandom has its mouth breathers.
  Well, except for Our Flag Means Death fans at least as far as the folks I've interacted with. Figures that a queer pirate rom-com would generally have a pretty wholesome fandom (although there's probably shitty OMFD fans too, heh)

I mean I still find it funny, I find it entertaining when it's found out that an extremely high cost production used something that I have access to

It's more common than you think

Just a crumb of media literacy for an old seppo?

He is responsible for making me the way I am…
- A clever folk hero, right?
  Right?

If a movie isn't brave enough to put their main actor into deep water with no breathing equipment with a ton of sharks just for the poster picture, then I'm not watching it

The movie would have made more money if someone was mauled by a shark and it led to a boycott

That last Aquaman movie is genuinely one of the worst things I have ever watched.

I stole it and I still wanted a refund.

I think I made it halfway through. On 4 tries.

I thought at first they had left the watermark in (no pun intended). That would've been a big fuckup.

Are you saying that mofo can't breathe under water? Cause if so, I want my money back.

To be fair I would have expected a tiny bit more effort.

For the poster? Nah. They're right, that's what stock photos are for. What, you want them to whip up a unique CGI model for no discernable improvement in quality in a still picture?
- No. I want them to photograph real sharks. No CGI.
