That's the American way, okay? I don't like snide remarks. 3) If they raise the price because of me, SO BE IT! I have a choice to buy or not. 2) I don't like the 'liquid' that's put on popcorn. You stated that we people who do not buy at the concession stands are being subsidized by others who do. I'm writing about the Answer Man remark of yours regarding movie profits. My other favorite movie composer jargon is 'Mickey Mouse music,' which refers to music which exactly mirrors the physical actions of characters on the screen. Or a 'stinger,' according to other mail I've received. In your review of 'Urban Legends,' you mused: 'There must be a name for the kind of loud, sudden chord that slasher movies depend on.' I've been told by a composer that it's called a 'sting.' (Chris Rowland, Plainsboro, N.J.)Ī.
Either that, or they see Jackie Chan with his leg in a cast. Trailer, they know that the movie's over. Once they've seen every scene that was in the Re the Answer Man's discussion of the disappearance of the words 'The End' at the end of modern movies: Audiences no longer require it.
