Tired of the same lame sound 'trick' on every movie.
When please g-d, is hollywood going to stop with the same d--ned sound trick ?
Every "scary" movie** for the last 15 years suffers from the same idiotic, and desperate trick. Since writers and directors no longer have any talent for writing a truly interesting or least bit frightening screenplay/movie, they all resort to the same d---n thing
The sound track (dialog) is played so low, that you have to turn your volume up to 9.5 to hear the actors. Not that there's anything much interesting about the dialog, but after you pay to rent the @%$@ thing, you might as well listen. Then, every few minutes they play the same 'creepy' (well it was the first 400 times it was used) build up sound, followed by the same "wham" sound, that is meant to shock the audience. In reality though, nobody is scared, we've all seen / heard it done so f-in many times, there's no scare there.
So now, you fight your remote though the entire @$^%@$ picture turning the sound UP so you can hear the 90% that's played at 'mouse-fart' volume then turning the sound down again, for the 10% played at Shuttle-Launch volume.
Come on hollywood, catch a f-in clue. If yelling "Boo!" at your audience is the best you've got, you're a g-d d--ned hack.
** Lame action flicks do the same thing, but the "LOUD" portion is the senseless CGI exposions [[ Yes Michael Bay, we're talking to you ]]
