Hear, hear! I agree completely about the state of movie audio tracks
and the dissolution of dialog. I think some of the blame has to lie
with actors who mumble instead of speak lines. I know it's supposed
to be realistic, but I wish some of them were forced to take diction
classes with classically-trained British actors.
I wish more movie critics would remark on bad audio.
That and that DVD/Blu-ray reviewers would list how many minutes of
forced viewing is on a disc before the viewer gets to the movie. But
that's a different soapbox.
