Years ago, I worked with a friend of mine who videotaped and edited weddings, bar-mitzvahs and the like. In the editing process, we used to try to intercut scenes from movies featuring celebrities at formal attire parties (i.e., Frank Sinatra in High Society) so it would look like interactive footage. While editing these clips, the editing machine would roll about two seconds before and after the edit point, so we would hear it play backwards ad nauseam. We got to hear these so many times that we eventually became obsessed with how hilarious they were. Below is an example. It's a scene from Goodfellas featuring Ray Liotta gambling and shouting very loudly showing a mouth big enough to drive a truck through. The first clip is the scene played forwards and backwards at regular speed, the second is forward and backwards at a slower speed.
Download the clips below. Enjoy.
