100% right on. This isn’t funny any more. I’ve been wanting to write this exact post since it started appearing in video games.

As somebody who’s deaf, I’ve never had any problem with hearing the same scream soundtrack repeated over and over again. Whenever I’ve seen the captioned note that somebody screams, I always have a different scream depending on the situation or circumstances. I had no idea that pretty much every Hollywood scream sounded the same.

whenever I hear a Wilhelm Scream I am taken out of the movie experience.

I don’t even know what it sounds like! Haha, sucker!

Scott Kurtz has had a successful web comic for over a decade. You’re a one hit wonder who made some funny Civil War scans five years ago which, predictably, did not secure you a career in mainstream comics.

To top it all off you appear to not understand what Kurtz wrote at all. I don’t think he’s the bad writer here.

So this book will be in the Comedy section right? We really are slipping in to Idiocracy down here I guess.

What a baby, movie sound effects artist use the scream ON PURPOSE. It’s part of history and an inside joke among sound effect artists. If something as lame as a scream ruins a movie for you, go watch the Disney channel. It’s a part of movie history, and should give you a chuckle not ruin a movie.

I agree viz a viz value in expression of anger and disgust. It’s a peculiarly internet chic thing to dismiss anything that shows emotional investment.

“or argued that Lee had anything to do with Kirby getting screwed over.”

Here you go, from the man himself. The whole interview is pretty interesting, but there’s lots of interesting Stan Lee stuff from Kirby’s (and his wife’s) POV:

So I take it you’re not a big fan of French New Wave films?

Same thing started happening to me about 2 years ago, I’m glad to hear i’m not the only one. It’s pretty annoying.

carl, I thought the same. I think that one is much more recognizable, and I was pretty sure that was in the movie too.

Just like there seems to be only one hospital PA message.

I am baffled both that Harbin apparently doesn’t know what fisking is, and that he considers it an illegitimate tool for commenting on somebodies work.

I consider you a humorist first, a dispenser of insights second. As a result, when you choose to be both funny and insightful I’m willing to grant you some leeway, even if you are ridiculing the people you disagree with.

At the same time I think Mr. Harbin is right that you are primarily preaching to the choir. Your wit might sway a few but for the most part your article speaks to people who already agree with your position. That may just be the way it is. The value of scorn in this case is simply motivating people who agree silently to be less silent by voicing what they are all thinking. In my experience, it rarely wins over new believers.
