I remember MASH being devoid of music as well.

Is there a list of movies that have no or very little music?

That laughter track, however…

I think they are referring to the movie, which (I believe) did not have a laugh track.

If you can find it there was a DVD release of the tv series where the laugh track could be disabled. It’s so much better.

Only the American release of the TV show had the laugh track. Whole different show without, isn’t it?

Thankfully the BBC aired the MASH episodes that were without the laughter track when I was watching it years (decades) ago. However, I’ve seen it more recently on one of the minor UK Freeview channels, and that came with laughter added… which eventually grates.

“Creep” has no music and it made it so much better for me. I really enjoyed that film.

Music in a movie instructs you on how you are supposed to feel about what’s going on. Even if the music is telling you to feel uncomfortable, it’s comforting to have that instruction. No music, no comfort.

No Comfort for Musicless Films

Maybe the filmmaker realized that even narrative is comforting.

In television too it is a huge factor.

I remember hearing that some reality show (Big Brother maybe?) didn’t have any soundtrack in the beginning, and the audience couldn’t decide how to feel about the somewhat mundane things going on.

No idea if that’s true or not.

Maybe because psychopathy is not a diagnosis. Psychopath is a popular or sometimes criminalism term, it’s definition is vague and its use is not very strict. In mental health there’s antisocial personality disorder and psychopathic traits in personality testing. But there’s no single definition of what being a “psychopath” is.

It’s probably about how belivable in their experience the behaviour of the characters are.

I’m reminded of an old meme, it was a message taped to a dorm’s clothes dryer: “Whoever took my wet clothes out of the dryer and put yours in, you’re an asshole. Unfortunately for you, so am I. You can find your clothes outside frozen in the snowbank. Problem with that? Room 214.”

No, that’s a reasonable response.

It’s too bad that Room 214 had that run of inexplicable bad luck after that. It was probably just the haunting, though.

Bullies don’t like picking on people that stand up for themselves.

You get that from a poster? That’s dangerously irresponsible advice for someone who’s being bullied. 😶

I would’ve put in something like “I did something to your clothes. Have fun finding out what”
