Dear GOD this movie is driving me nuts

LOL!!! That's so annoying, especially when you have a sleeping 5 y.o. I'm a huge fan of closed captions. God, I'm such an old lady. I'm both partially deaf and sensitive to noise.

I hate movies and shows like that. Drives me nuts! I get that they want there to be an effect, but it doesn't need to be like I'm in the movie.

Heath Ledger was amazing in that movie. I loved him in Broke Back Mountain as well.

Captions are my friend.

The first time I saw this, I started laughing bc I couldn't hear that there was actually sound, while the people I was with said they could. I thought it was a joke on their part. Nope. Pair a hearing impairment with crappy sound, and it's no bueno.

I have hearing aids now, but this was one movie that the sound was particularly awful.

[fezzik]

Yes! So many action movies and tv shows do this and it drives me nuts. I hate constantly having to adjust the volume.

[gretchenindisguise]

I hate that shit with a passion. I should not need to watch a movie with one hand on the remote the entire time.

Do you have surround sound?

[flamingeaux]

That was one of Heath Ledger's best performances. It must have been so difficult to get into the mindset for that character.

That's a great movie, but the volume is defiantly all over the place.

I feel like I should pour one out. Not only for your youth but your hearing too.   (we need a tipped glass emoji)

H got us in the habit of always playing the captions when we watch movies at home. Helps out quite a bit.

no, just a regular tv. 

That could be why it's all funky. Regardless, I wish they wouldn't make the DVDs this way, just use stereo. It makes me feel like a crotchety old woman!

And another thing that makes me crazy is when a scene is so dimly lit (for "atmosphere") that you can't tell what's going on.  Cops searching a house without turning on any lights?  I want to SCREAM.

DH cannot possibly hear people talking on the TV unless the volume is set to at least 24. That means that when there's any sort of loud noise the windows shake. It drives me absolutely nuts.

Batman is one of the ones I remember being bad. Also that Cloud Atlas movie. OMG I think it scarred me for life.

I don't know if its just our tv, but Mad Men is like this for me as well. Thankfully there aren't any explosions or super loud parts, but some conversations are MUCH louder than others. It drives me crazy!

That happened when we were watching ESPN3 via the xbox. We had to crank it up during the event and then the commercials would literally shake things on the mantle lol.
