MaudlinMutantMollusk		2012-06-19 12:11:06 PM

Not to be confused with Dolby, Thomas, which will blind you with science

Can one actually "rock" out with an accordion?

Can it reproduce 128 accordions simultaneously?

No reason.

I read nothing about this "drive your car into a river" feature.

I don't know what the headline is all about.

This makes me happy. And cool.

I think this new sound system might be disorientating & dangerous.

I guess I have what one might call an... Atmos fear.

When they develop a sound system with audience chatter cancelling, I'll go back to the theater.

The Atlanta Braves drove themselves into the river many times when they should have won the World Series?

Theaters are really having a hard time convincing people they want to shell out $15 to sit next to someone texting through the whole movie.

Oh, but sound coming from the ceiling will make it all better.

But but but the AMC ETX experience is the ultimate pinnacle of sound quality experience with 22 discrete mother farking channels of audio!! PAY FOR THE AUDIO EXPERIENCE BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T BUY OUR SALES PITCH THAT IT WAS JUST AS GOOD AS IMAX!!

Everyone always wants new things. Everybody likes new inventions, new technology. People will never be replaced by machines. In the end, life and business are about human connections. And computers are about trying to murder you in a lake. And to me, the choice is easy.

What you do is drive to a very very white part of town. So white the only way you'll hear people talking during the movie is if they've been federally required to bus black people in.

Sound coming from the ceiling is only half the story. In addition to the traditional 5+1 channels and the ceiling mounted speakers (already a total of 6 distinct sound channels), Atmos also supports up to 122 sound objects inside your rectum! That stretches belief! Never before has a sound system provided so much richness to the rear channels.

As a side effect, theaters expect less contraband to be smuggled into screenings.

i spent a couple hours last night watching Iron Man 2 on my home theater system. HD video supplied by a Nvidia 550, Dolby Surround, and to my ears sounded farking amazing. 6 speakers (well 7 actually, since I have two center channels connected to double the sound, since it seems in current films dialog gets buried under sound effects and music).

i just don't think this crap is necessary. neat, perhaps.

I've seen a reality show concept that was similar to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9yLKnC5bho (NSFW language)

I refuse to attend any movie screening which does not take place inside of the 828-speaker spherical ampitheatre in the West German pavilion at Expo '70.

In 5 years you'll wonder how you ever lived without it.

New fancy sound system plays 128 sounds at once.

Listens to sample video through sh*tty desktop computer speakers.

pecosdave		2012-06-19 02:02:15 PM

So basically it's Active-X sound for movies? Maybe closer to Creative's Environmental audio?

PsyLord		2012-06-19 02:02:36 PM

Can the human ear even discern 128 different sounds that are being played simultaneously?

No, white people talk during movies too. They also text. Sorry, try again.

farking sound engineers.

They can't even get a stereo mix right, and they want to add an 8th speaker?

While we're at it why don't we have vibrating buttplugs on the seats tied to the sound system so everyone can have a speaker up their ass.
