which reminds me of a funny story...When Bladerunner "The Director's Cut" was released, a bunch of us went down to an arthouse cinema on the other side of town to go see it. There was much excitement and tittering as everyone filed into the cinema and the lights went down... the camera zooms across the city scape as the opening credits begin... um... there's no sound! We wait patiently, someone will notice...
... no one is noticing! Then some lark 3 rows down from me starts making the sound effects for us! "Wooosh!" As a pillar of fire leaps from an exhaust port. "Boosshshshshs" as another pillar of fire leaps skyward. "Zweeeeeooommm" as the Police spinner zooms across the screen.
The screen resolves on the opening scene of Holden interviewing Leon. The wags in front of me start reciting the script. Not long before Holden asks Leon about his mother, Wag #1 yells out "LOOK OUT! HE'S GOT A GUN!" at which point the entire theatre explodes into laughter. Fortunately the sound came on shortly after!
