Don't you hate this?

[theotherguy]

Notice how whenever there is a computer in a movie or TV show, its incessantly making beepy noises?

As in, say CSI, whenever there is someone on a computer, its making these ugly, highpitched monophonic beeping noises like something out of a 1960's startrek episode. Whenever someone moves the mouse, it makes high-pitched clicks, whenever they resize a window or close a window or a loading bar comes up, it makes annoying beeping sounds.

I hate it, and its in almost every form of TV show or movie...it's as if they think its "cooler" to have computers make "high-tech" noises. My god, I would enjoy it much more if they were completley silent.

It annoys me too, computers in movies/TV are always so flashy and filled with unnecessary graphic interfaces and stuff. Everything's always done with the person madly typing away too.

 

[Qonfused]

Yeah. I hate when they type a full sentance to bring up a 3-D interface which is then controlled by more key presses. I guess mice are too expensive and software is free.

kinda how in cops they make tires squeal, even on dirt roads.

We all know that they aren't ACTAULLY researching the case. They are downloading porno.

Don't you hate this?

Yes. It's horrible.

A lot of movies have stupid sound effects that are really noticable and ruin everything. It feels like 99% of movies don't pay any f*cking attention to the realism of their sound/effects, makes me wanna RAAAWR!

 

[theotherguy]

ugh yes, I hate how the interfaces are always so flashy too.

watch from about 1:25 in that video and you'll see what I mean.

 

[Naudian]

LOL!! I love how the computer shuts up whenever it isn't in the view of the camera

just..ugh...that's the only word for it...UGH.

 

[Raziaar]

I've always hated those super flashy graphical interfaces that make no sense. And how in the past, the computer and computer hacking was represented by dungeons or futuristic landscapes. lol.

OVER AT THE COMPUTER,

Lex slides quickly into the command chair at Nedry's terminal.
She stares at the screen for a moment - -

LEX
This is a Unix system. I know this. It's the files for
the whole park. It's like a phone book - -it tells you
everything.

- - and then her fingers start to fly over the keyboard. Tim
watches, amazed, as the computer starts to respond to Lex's commands.

LEX (cont'd)
I've got to find the right file. Oh no, this isn't
right. This might be right, no this isn't it.

TIM
C'mon, Lex! C'mon, Lex! Go, Lexie!

Reaching another menu, Lex spots a box on the screen that reads
"DOOR INTEGRITY." She reaches out and touches it. The screen BEEPS -
-

LEX
There it is, I got it! This is it, I did it. Yes, yes!

- - and the door latch panel BUZZES. Grant and Ellie put
everything they have into it and finally the door SNICKS shut, locking
the raptor outside.

Yeah, it's as though all the computer programs in TV shows and movies are run by EVA from the Command & Conquer installer.
