This is like the uncle of dubbed fart sounds.
I already explained why I found this genius to Jeff, but in case you didn't happen to be in a cramped hallway last Tuesday, the basic logic I find so undeniably appealing is that the sound is so fucking abrasive that you dread in anticipation when it will next strike. Also, it completely pisses on this grand "look at beautiful New Zealand scenery/CGI" moment that is almost totally unwarranted by plot, by making drawing attention to the scene's unnecessary length and its almost cheesy scope.
i agree completely with dave. dreaded the sound. DREADED IT!!!!
that air horn, its different from an air-raid siren which actually has the same feeling of trying to signal some emminant threat. All I can think of is this particular air horn's over-use in rap mixtapes, which to me has the association with loud noise as an attempt to mask knowledge of one's own mediocrity. Which I think nods to Dave's comment... I guess if Peter Jackson had made a 12 hour rap mixtape instead of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, it would have a lot of this.
You lazy, good-for-nothing kids. Is this what I'm paying all that tuition money for? Jeezus-H-Key-Rist!
Im from South Africa. and this is surprisingly very interesting. well not this page, bu the blog in general.
For some reason this go funnier with each air horn. It started with giggles and progressed to tears.
