Haha, good call. Freud was right.

Many times the lame stuff is forced upon the crew........

I think it's a more a matter of ignorance, not Asperger's Syndrome. Being a non-Aspie means that it's hard for me to fathom directors micro-managing the foley editors to that extent.

Actually, screw that, I'm lying to myself. If I were directing a movie with guns, I'd probably tell the foley editor specifically NOT to insert the sound of guns being cocked so frequently.
