Talk:Glen Glenn Sound

Corrections made to this stub

Whoever wrote this stub didn't understand the services provided by Glen Glenn or the parent company Todd-AO Studios, using the unknown term "sound system company" to describe it, as if they rented out PA systems. I replaced that with the term that is currently in use, audio post production company.

I removed the nonsensical statement, "The company was acquired by Todd-AO in 1986 to accurately partner high-definition film and sound together as one package." What's "accurately"? Nonsense. Todd-AO bought out Glen Glenn Sound to expand and continue their move towards being a monopoly in the audio post production business. Todd was long out of the widescreen theater projection business by then, and both companies were doing the same thing, audio post. Therefore, it was merely an attempt to "accurately partner" sound "and sound together as one package." I rewrote this to make sense.

I also removed the unsourced and bogus claim that Glen Glenn Sound had a monopoly on the sound business; When does a monopoly get bought out by a company that couldn't exist if the other were a monopoly?

People, please buy a set of knitting needles to occupy your time instead of writing articles about topics you don't know about using writing skills you don't have.

That's it? Are you kidding me?

So... of the legendary, almost fabled, Glen Glenn studios, we get... this?

This is the best that Wikipedia can do. On a studio that has been involved, as the current article states, in over 20,000 TV shows an movies. And this, pathetic, one-paragraph-and-a-list is the best that can be provided? Really?

I started to grow up in the 60's, really started to grow up in the 70's... and one of the few constants was that I could count on Glen Glenn Sound being credited in almost every show I watched.

And... THIS... travesty of an article... is what I get, when I finally get around, reminded by a nostalgic look at some old DVDs (DVDs mind you, not even VHS or earlier) that mentioned how important Glen Glenn Sound was?

Ok... disappointed.

If I knew how to fix it, I would. I don't, so I won't try. The rest of you would just shoot me down, ridicule me,and tell me I don't know what I'm doing... hurtfully and insultingly... and make a point of reversing my additions, no matter how diligently I try. I know, I've tried elsewhere. So... OK... you um, Wikipedia "people"... I use the term loosely... know best, so... fix this travesty, then.

To those who have never belittled or harassed someone trying his damnedest to genuinely help, and "failing" by whatever your idiotic and seemingly completely arbitrary standards are, I apologize for the above. For the rest of you, who think you are better than everyone else and that your excrement doesn't stink the same way mine does... well... you're wrong... it does... and you really aren't any "better" than me... you're just more of a jerk about it.

I try to make comments and additions that are useful... at least to someone. Sometimes, I don't know what the rest of you are in it for.

I don't log in anymore. What's the point. The fascists (who claim to be the liberators) have the guns.

Ignore me as you choose to. I'm bitter... extremely, about Wikipedia. But still, this particular article is a total travesty... doesn't anyone else agree?

I get your point there, it would be nice for us to be able to read something about the great Glen Glenn Sound, but that is what websites are for. If you know so much, write it and host it. That's the rub with Wiki, everything has to be properly sourced, and since Glen Glenn was bought out and essentially shut down before Wiki existed and before most people had used the internet, there aren't going to be a lot of sources that are verifiable online. Wiki doesn't allow original research. --99.24.218.252 (talk) 06:42, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
