Mom: "Is it just me or has movie dialogue gotten harder to hear?" Dad: "Actors mumble these days. And if I crank up the volume to hear the lines, then the music and explosions are deafening" Mom: "Can you turn on subtitles?" Dad: "Yeah. Just a sec..." Mom: "My, how flattering: "Subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing." Seem like just "Subtitles" would do" Dad: "I think it should say 'here's what the actors are mumbling under the blasting sound effects"
@IamJayBluE – I always loved my summers at the pool diving and playing around and no school. @davidhuiegreen – I agree! Its a stretch. I’ve never seen subtitles/captions labeled like that. Why would they even do it? Have I missed something? Has anyone ever seen it? Commercial level: I always heard the allowed volume level was related to some average of the loudest moments in the current show and that the whole commercial could be that loud throughout. No facts though. Popcorn: does anyone still make popcorn in a pot with real corn and oil, then cook it perfectly with almost no burned popcorn, then put it in a brown grocery bag where you pour in butter, then salt to perfection. I do. Learned from my dad and taught my son. Now that boy can make some popcorn.
