I’m a stickler for sound in movies. I’ll sit through a movie shot by a colorblind cinematographer but I’ll walk out of a movie with just kind of shitty sound. Sync problems – flubby lips – are the worse. On a short I directed, I slaved for a week tinkering on a 30-second dialogue scene to get the raw sound, ADR and effects to match. The missus would attribute it to my OCD but it’s really that bad sound is unforgivable.
After seeing Food Inc., I stumbled onto this 105-minute French documentary called “The World According to Monsanto” on Google Video. Whoever uploaded it screwed up the audio rate and the entire movie is about 10-15 frames out of sync but still I watched all of it. It is riveting, terrifying and an absolute must-see.
Since the Monsanto world is a pretty fucking shitty one, we must agitate up to take those fuckers down.
