ikr?

I still don't know half the ♥♥♥♥ Bane says in Batman. Past caring, at this point.

Because Hollywood has become slop. I swear it's like every year the so called ''blockbusters' watches worse than a 1970s spaghetti western. But now it has ugly CGI made by third worlders in it because they love to skimp on every penny.

Bane's speech was always fairly clear to me in that film. I don't understand why people had an issue with it.

The main issue with DNR was that Tom Hardy is only about 3 feet tall so any time Bane interacted with someone else it looked weird and wrong.

I use subtitles whenever they are available in case I tune out and start falling asleep which I might do anyway when the plot is slow or redundant or both.

That's a problem with many TV shows also. Sometimes I only catch half of what characters in a scene are mumbling to each other. Been like that for a decade or more.

It just sounded like "bruhbruhmahhannamahuhmmurramrrnah" to me.

Probably more, but they were sly about it and over time it became the norm. I just can't figure out how producers didn't tell filmmakers to go back and fix it so dialogue is audible. Granted some are worse than others. How these made it past screenings is baffling. I wonder if the increase in aircraft incidents is related. Are we just getting careless and thoughtless?
Ok, now I'm just being paranoid.

I always have to use subtitles when watching movies as there is this obsession by film makers to put music and sound during every part of dialogue. Watching old movies there is silence when the characters are speaking and the music usually comes in after the talking is done to really drive home the emotion and point the dialogue was trying to convey.

Instead now when characters are talking we got BWWWWOOOOOMMM BBWWWAAAAAAAA DUN DUN DUN. Hollywood for whatever hates silence and prefers to cram as much sound as possible into a film therefore over saturating it with needless noise. At this point you'd be better of reading the books the movies were based off of because you are gonna read a damn novel if you watch a modern movie with subtitles anyway.

I watched the Addams Family films from the 90's last night and was surprised and delighted that I didn't have to put on subtitles. The dialogue was clear and there was no needless noise. The music played at the proper moments and the films were fun. I haven't had fun watching a movie in a long time. Which goes to show that Hollywood hates fun as well with it's obsession with "gritty", "dark", and over serious tones.

Two words... D E I.

I found audio balancing to be worse in older movies, for the most part.

Especially if the movie has gunplay. Dialogue is extremely low and gunfire is like quarter sticks of dynamite going off
