I’ll admit - I don’t watch much tv or movies anymore, but I can’t help but think the “problem” here is how many of these programs are the equivalent of “ouch my balls” from Idiocracy - that is to say, the dialog is just filler between explosions anyway (IE: it’s being watched for the over-the-top action, it isn’t like the dialog is Goethe.)
- goostavos 5y agoYep. You nailed it, man. Everyone who watches TV or movies is a big ol' dum-dum consuming real bottom of the barrel entertainment. They should really be doing more enlightened things with their time, like... commenting on Hacker News about things to let people know that they're not involved in the consumption of such drivel.
- poulsbohemian 5y agoNo - you misunderstand my point. My point isn't to denigrate the viewer, but rather to acknowledge that in some genres the dialog simply isn't the point. Even in the article they appear to acknowledge this, noting that in romcom and whatnot that the audio is more clearly articulated and audible, versus the various examples of action type movies.
