Just saw Meet The Fockers :WTF:
It was funny and all. Not as good as the first but pretty funny.
The thing is, I was really distracted for most of the movie because the boom mic kept getting WAY into the shot. Like 12 times the microphone was either a little visible at the top of the screen or, in a few instances, THE ENTIRE MIC, STICK AND ALL, WAS JUST HOVERING ON TOP OF THE SCREEN. It was insane. I have no idea how this wasn't edited out but I'm suprised I haven't heard more about this. It actually got pretty surreal just watching this huge mainstream movie and seeing the mic a good distance into the shot. Felt like I was dreaming or something. Crazy. |

Oh yeah and that part at the start is shit, with the answerphone machine, not only was it not funny but it was copied, when they did it on Naken Gun 33 1/3 it was fucking classic.

The answering machine thing was one of the only things I laughed at.

Rewatch Naken Gun 33 1/3, they deliver it MUCH better.

If you can see the boom mic then it is usually the projectors fault... and not the actual movie.

It's throughout the first half of the movie. If you have some sort of copy that you have already aprehended in some way, just keep looking at the top of the screen. IMPOSSIBLE to miss.

nope, don't notice it.
Did you take a "special" substance, not legal in the US, before watching the flick? |

I watched it with a friend who saw it too so it wasn't just me.
Thought whether he was ACTUALLY there or not may be a question. |

Alright, so now that the whole mic thing has been explained...
The movie was really quite funny. Babies in movies are usually awful but this one worked. It wasn't nearly as good as the first but it was better than I thought it would be. |

From what I've seen on set, the boom mic operator has to be outta the shot every take.. Equipment, shadows and all..

A long time ago when I went to the movies to see "The gift", we could see the mic but it was a problem with the image and the guy at the movies fixed it.
