...just survivor bias at work. Nobody remembers the terrible summer blockbusters from years past.
But people remember Jaws, Terminator, and Aliens.
At some point somebody is going to make The Searchers of robots beating everyone up
It's about time we got something like that: https://xkcd.com/311/ https://xkcd.com/311/
There was that 1st person movie, which actually was kinda cool, but it made me nauseous.

- CamperBob2 10y agoWeird that this article gives no credit to Brad Fiedel's work on The Terminator. That's the first time I can recall hearing BRAAAM, over 10 years before any of the other movies he talks about used it. As far as the origin of the sound itself, seems pretty obvious that people are just oversampling a Klaxon.
- Declanomous 10y ago> seems pretty obvious that people are just oversampling a Klaxon. Klaxons were designed to make a very specific impression, so even if they aren't oversampling a Klaxon, I am not surprised if they are subconsciously arriving at the same result. But I'm pretty sure you are on to something -- I recall a monster sound being specifically based on a klaxon. I believe it was either the War of the Worlds tripod, or the Cloverfield monster.

- Declanomous 10y agoThat may be what I'm remembering it from. I've played HL2 with the commentary on, and it would be pretty easy to get HL2 confused with new War of the Worlds.
