| bezoar: | The sound of the phaser in the original Star Trek TV series was the sound of a cicada brood. I know this because I went on a camping trip in 1982, just as these little fuckers were coming out of the trees and flying everywhere. I woke up, and heard the sound of phasers, everywhere around me. Worst. camping. trip. ever. |

Haha, genius.
eXistenZ... how much I loved that movie!
FUCKING GREAT!
To each his own, but I grew up in Maryland and always thought the cicaidas sounded great. I loved falling asleep to them.
my guess is they were set to "Stun"

No shit?

Um.
Do you think that ...
maybe...
The reason the image is LINKED TO THE IMDB ENTRY FOR EXISTENZ might indicate something?
Maybe?
That I like...
knew that?
Why... yes. It could. Why would I say something so asinine... only to have you respond and call me out on it?
and i've hated james woods since the spirits within. he plays such a great evil prick though.
A friend of mine worked on the "Gun out of the TV" effect", which I always thought was the coolest effect in the movie, even before I found out Rabbit (his nickname) worked on it. It might even be his hand you see...

They did call it the noisy cricket.
