It's one of the reasons I rarely go to the theatre anymore. A group of people at work were discussing that last week too. Always fucking ridiculously loud, no matter what the film is.
You know some exec was trying to figure out how to save falling sales from home theatre setups and decided "Hey, you know what they can't do at home? Crank the volume to 140db! Lets do that!"
The other people in my house have some sensory issues, so we all have decent earplugs for use in noisy environments. Can really save the day.
Same. I stopped going, and definitely partly because of this.Quote:

Haven't bothered seeing a move in theaters in years so I thought it was me... clearly not the case.
Fuck civil war. Waste of time.
Wife and I started watching Shameless a few weeks back.
Almost through S2...
Holy Fuck is Frank G. a Hilarious POS...
Oh you think he’s a POS after 2 seasons? That’s cute.
This was par for the course in the USA years ago. I saw Gladiator in LA, I was deaf afterwards like I came out of a live concert.Quote:

Season finale of Shogun - best 10/etc episode TV series I've seen since...maybe Breaking Bad? It was SO good. If it doesn't get nominated and win a bunch of dumb tv awards, it's time to stop even mentioning tv awards. I would never have thought a modern series that is about 1/2 captioned, would perform, and deliver in such a nuanced and subtle way. Not sure if it can get a season 2, but there is room there IMO to carry on forward with the story from where it ended up at episode 10.
If anyone hasn't watched it yet, and can't find anything to suit their fancy, I'm confident that Shogun is "it".
Now moving on to Tokyo Vice season 2.
okay will start shogun today!
it probably will get nominated, asians need some more equity lol
I can assure you we are way past the point where TV awards or movie awards are relevant.Quote:

But overall, it's a far more enjoyable movie than people were saying it was.
Overlord. Not as good as I was hypeing it up in my mind to be.
They've already confirmed there's no season 2. The story is over in their eyes.Quote:

There's an FX podcast on youtube that goes along with the show episode for episode, done by the producers and directors. It's worth listening to.
Started Fallout. Played the game a little bit back in the day but definitely not enough to know a lot of the details. Through 2 episodes and liking it so far.
Physical 100! I love that show, especially while snacking.
The Sympathizer on HBO. Seems decent and its set on the Vietnam war era. VC 4 life
Very Good Action Movie
