i don't know....forgive me for blowing steam, but we're alone up here and this is my only outlet for humor or whatever comes to mind.........
regarding tv dramas or crime shows....the background music or sounds are so loud, i can hardly hear the dialogue....and the actors mumble and talk through their rear ends.....haven't been to a movie in years, may be since avatar, which was lovely....so wife and i went to check the avengers end game cause of the publicity.....yuk....couldn't understand half of what was said...mumble mumble......maybe these actors don't go to school and learn diction or elocution...even if one talks with slang or dialects, one should be able to understand them.....and the actors to me, were just reading lines ....dead pan......gads.....and people were enjoying it!....
we left after an hour of agony....i've read sci fi and fantasy all my early life, but this was just a bunch of special effects interspersed with dispassionate mumbling.......and everything is shoot em up or blow em up these days...guess people are being trained for the next war or whatever......came home to find a simple british mystery or whatever to watch .....yea...i'm getting old....i'll probably turn into ferdinand the bull who just loves to lie in the field and smell the flowers............the only american dramas i enjoy are blue bloods, and blacklist, and sometimes the medical and ncis dramas.....
