In the supplemental material on the DVD for 'Master & Commander', there is quite a bit of information about the sound work that went into making the cannons sound 'good'. The recording of authentic cannons sounded horrible on film.They may not be processing the shots through the editing equipment. Anytime I record audio at the range, the shots all sound pretty much the same, regardless of caliber. I think we're so used to Hollywood's over-processed gunshot sounds that we forget what real gunshots sound like through a microphone.
J-bar, I bet you're correct. If he does make it to the final two, I'm going to have to suspect a set-up due to the coincidence of it. After last years question of "did George give it away, or not?" and then this..... It seems like the start of a pattern of "edge of your seat" endings.Jake will be one of the last two competitors...it will keep the ratings up.
(person would not be in the elimination round if they performed well).
I resent that, as a retired Sailor.Be warned if you listen to Mike Marelli's interview he cusses like a sailor.
There's a lot of behind the scenes stuff, including some discussion of an altered timeline.
I can toot my own horn and (most of the time) back it up. I just don't see the need to deride or ridicule anyone else in the process. Jake has no class. What's wrong with being a great shot AND being classy?
It's the art of trash talking. Tell me you've never done it to your buddies.....
Whoever gets him [Jake] off the show will be a hero amongst the remaining competitors.
