Qryos Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 ~ I'm on the comp in a room where I can't see what's on the T.V. & so I find it fun to guess from what I hear.I'm often wrong but often close.Last night I heard the music & yelled out, "It's the one with the windmill & fly in the beginning! Fonda's the bad guy!"... Yep, 'How the West was won.' {The only film where Henry Fonda portrayed a bad guy. & did it evilly great!}How often could you get the right film with just the opening music or noise? Not seeing it. Just hearing it. ... This is a really goofy dumb topic, huh?~ How about dating them?It's pretty easy to date a movie by hair & clothing. 'Period' movies recreate such pretty well, including the music.BUT, where & when the music is used in a film, background noises, different now than then.Some are easier, 50s, 60s sci-fi by the woooEeeeyooo background, etc.But generally, just by sound, no visual, could you date a movie?

I'm a movie freak. I also do great impersonations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bel Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Not goofy or dumb Claire, I've just never noticed if I could do that or not. Mostly because, if the telly is on, it's just background noise, or someone else is watching, I don't pay that much attention to it. Most of the time I am having music piped directly into my brain. I'll have to unplug and see if I can figure out what the boys are watching upstairs by the tunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
