I have already talked about this, but I want to add one little detail I realized makes no sense.
They should never have added the little 'ah'-sound to the 'super bright flash' of that single frame (that would NOT have lingered as long as we are shown, but whatever) - what was that single frame of pr0nography, 99% white picture? - because it presents many problems.
If it had been a 'single frame duration' of sound, it would've worked. However, the 'ah'-sound is OBVIOUSLY way longer than a single frame.
This means that from that moment on, the movie's audio is OUT OF SYNC.
This could, of course, have been fixed, but all and any of the methods for doing so would be WAY too much work for, talk about diminishing returns.
One way would be to re-capture the WHOLE movie's soundtrack to a separate reel, which would be very involved and cumbersome process I don't think someone like Tyler would want to do.
Another way would be to somehow delay the movie's visuals until the sound syncs again, but this would cause the movie to appear a bit jerky and weird for awhile - plus, accomplishing this might be very tricky and require a lot of work, lot of tinkering and testing that would certainly consume at least one whole night.
There's yet another way, of course, he could simply mess up the audio by clipping the exact amount of time off the audio reel and then tape that together somewhere else in the movie - probably the easiest solution - but would he really even bother?
So no matter HOW you splice it (pun intended), this makes absolutely no sense. If he's simply splicing 'single frames of pr0n0graphy' into a movie, why not leave it at that and not tamper with the sound? That would STILL desync the sound, but not as much (1/24th of a second instead of at least one full second or so), so it might go unnoticed.
But the moviemakers like to be dramatic and cinematic, so they HAD to make it a SUPER BRIGHT FLASH in an already well-lit movie (why would a regular pr0n pic be THAT BRIGHT?!), and they just HAD to add a 'relatively long' moan in the mix just to make it clear to the dummies in the audience.
It's hard to watch this movie, because around every eight or so seconds, something just clearly doesn't make any sense.
Other examples; Marla saying 'playing doctor', when he DEFINITELY wasn't doing anything like that! He was trying to HELP her by answering her phone call and doing her bidding, performing a check-up on HER request! Then he gets shamed for it, as if he was 'playing doctor'? Does Marla even know what that phrase is supposed to mean? Definitely not a 'trying to feel if you have a lump', god damnit!
Another weird thing; Tyler's door was locked - sure. But why? It's not like Tyler doesn't know that he can't keep Narrator away with physical means, because he's always there, within the same body he's using! Also, how can Narrator be OUTSIDE the door when Tyler is INSIDE the room, when the door is locked? Narrator looking at the c0ndoms shouldn't be possible, if the door is locked and Tyler and Marla are in Tyler's room!
HOW DOES THIS WORK?? It can't!
I am always irritated that Tyler can get beaten up by Lou, but nothing happens to Narrator, not his face, not his emotions / psychology / anything. How does THAT work? Your body gets beaten up brutally, but you are just 'watching', so you are 100% OK and do not feel ANY of the punches?
HOW DOES NARRATOR'S MIND RENDER PAIN FROM PUNCHES NULLIFIED? I mean, I can suspend my disbelieft only so much, Narrator's mind's rendering engine is ridiculously powerful if it can not only perfectly and seamlessly incorporate imagined and real things and actions, but also BLOCK things like hearing sounds that happen, feeling physical pain from punches to his VERY FACE and so on.
What the F..? How can any of that happen?
I still wonder about the whole 'three pitchers of beer and you still can't ask'-thing. How exactly would that beer-drinking scene look like from someone else's point of view? Narrator offering himself cigarettes and then rejecting that offer? Wouldn't someone come ask if he's all right or tell him he has had enough at that point?
The physical beer amount.. how does Narrator explain that it ALL goes to his own mouth? Does he imagine it disappearing from Tyler's pint? Does he even actually have a pint, or is it imagined? Does HE himself have two pints and take turns drinking from both, imagining it's Tyler? Wouldn't that look VERY weird to everyone else in the bar?
Does he not feel he drank ALL of it, if he thinks he only drank half or so? Does he imagine the pitcher emptier than it is?
The movie doesn't answer any of these questions, and that pisses me off. This movie can only work because it LIES and HIDES information that would be crucial or at least interesting to know. It lies by having two events happen simultaneously that CAN'T, because there's only one physical body. Does Tyler steal a car, or does N. only imagine the dildo convo?
