Yay for this: 50 Times Young People Adopted A “Boomer” Mentality And Were Proud Enough To Share It Online
"Please stop making these movies with dark lighting and inconsistent volume . I literally cannot see a thing. I cannot hear what anyone is saying. I stopped watching a lot of new movies because of this."
50 Times Young People Adopted A “Boomer” Mentality And Were Proud Enough To Share It Online
“We never had these problems when I was growing up.” “It was completely different during my time.” “Kids these days!” You’ve likely heard some form of these statements from an older person and had the urge to respond with “OK, boomer.”Dominyka (Bored Panda)

Last night we went to see Into The Woods (the show we sponsored). It was an Equity production, which means professional actors, professional director, etc. The words spoken on stage, even while singing, were almost always quite clear - no mumbling, no tsunami-like musical overlay (of course, being a musical, there was music, but it was under control), and the sound effects were well fenced (like the giant's steps, via big subwoofers, that moved towards the stage while the trees - real trees - shook.)
The other night we watched a Netflix thing about the rise of Hollywood - it mentioned radio station KFWB (the WB being for Warner Brothers). I used to listen to that station all the time for news. And in law school one of my classmates was one of the news announcers. When he spoke the classroom filled with his voice - it physically occupied the volume of

in reply to Muse • • •I guess my old dumb TV that friends gave to me free of cost (thank you!) has two speakers in the back of it. I still have to turn the volume down/up constantly and enable closed captions so the loud parts don't bother my neighbors while I get the gist of the scene (CC is usually an utter cesspool of inaccuracy - a filthy joke punching down on hearing impaired.)
I'm tired of (IMO) parasitic institutions that are only interested in focusing on exploiting the wealthy.
