And then stuff like SX and ZX are just used as referring to sex.  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 12-29-2010 03:49 PM                     quote: I think the 3 letter thing is more because the major chains love acronyms: Great, that makes me Ton....

Crescendos ending with a sustained note have existed before the "Deep Note" was processed. But, I feel the RPX trailer was just cheesy, all of it. "The best picture you've ever heard?" C'mon! And that voiceover, it ruins the experience reading the logo on the screen!  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."
