Welcome to IWETHEY!

New movie theaters have better sound systems than homes
but over the years I've found that movie dialogue has been getting harder and harder to hear. Not to mention the major increase in volume when special effects like explosions are occurring. It's something that the late Roger Ebert, film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times, wrote about I don't know how many years ago.

At least at home I can raise the volume when I want to hear actors talking, and drop it when the special effects start going BOOM.




Satan (impatiently) to Newcomer: The trouble with you Chicago people is, that you think you are the best people down here; whereas you are merely the most numerous.

New It's depressing how many shows/movies I have to put the captions on
The fact that there are plenty of them where I don't have to do that confirms it's not (just) that I'm losing my hearing.
