Dialogue is getting worse and worse in almost all newer films and series. Netflix boss tells writers to “have this character announce what they’re doing so that viewers who have this program on in the background can follow along.” https://www.nplusonemag.com/issue-49/essays/casual-viewing/ https://www.nplusonemag.com/issue-49/essays/casual-viewing/ “Several screenwriters who’ve worked for the streamer told [the author] a common note from company executives is “have this character announce what they’re doing so that viewers who have this program on in the background can follow along.” (“We spent a day together,” Lohan tells her lover, James, in Irish Wish. “I admit it was a beautiful day filled with dramatic vistas and romantic rain, but that doesn’t give you the right to question my life choices. Tomorrow I’m marrying Paul Kennedy.” “Fine,” he responds. “That will be the last you see of me because after this job is over I’m off to Bolivia to photograph an endangered tree lizard.”)” Sounds like all new productions reading this. We really live in idiocracy.
