* [[Rewind, Replay, Repeat]]: Almost the ''entire movie'' revolves around this trope.
* [[Technology Porn]]: In spades. Aligning playheads, long distance mikes re-mounted and aimed by snipers, and each multiple audio pass savored for it's methodical slowness. In the digital age, it still qualifies as analog porn that would make the typical [[Diesel Punk]] aficionado blush.
