Stop mumbling in films!


I realise dialogue is alien to the knuckle-dragging generation but if you're going to have it in can we please have it delivered by people who can actually make different shapes with their lips. Oh and while I'm on the topic - can we please stop with all the nose-pinched helium-voiced squeakers too?

I'd just be happy if they would turn down the music, gunfire and explosions so I can hear the people talk.

It's called a "boom mike", people. Learn how to use it!




Speak louder, Mr. Hart! Fill the room with your intelligence!

Might be beyond a boom mike deal. Isn't most dialogue dubbed in post-production - as is sound editing? Maybe that's where the problem lies - pumping up the musical score, street noises, "explosion action" while characters are talking is a bad idea for sure.

You mean, the way they try to create a somber (I guess?) atmosphere by making everyone seem like they're doped on horse tranquilizers? I wonder what is the point of that.
