This is a personal collection of things I find around the internet.
Alright, so somehow you found this place. Here's what to expect:
- Posts will be random; there are absolutely no themes here.
- Posts may be overwhelmingly frequent (sorry about your sub feed).
- Posts may be unbearably infrequent; you may forget you subscribed here.
- Posts may be oh, so very boring to you.
Due to the nature of this place, you may find a bunch of stuff that you don't care about, but you may also find a new passion.
So, the gist is, this is a place where I'll share random things, and you'll discover the internet with me.
Oh yeah, I didn't advertise this place anywhere, so hey, how did you even get here?
Check out the sister sub where you discover music with me! !andromusiccollection@lemm.ee

Honestly? Sound mixing in a lot of movies and some shows sucks ass nowadays. You have uber loud explosions and then relatively quiet speech.
Tenet was an amazing movie (many disagree, but it's a matter of opinion - I really enjoyed it), but I wouldn't have heard half the dialogue. Subtitles helped.
It's all supposed to be immersive - after all, explosions ARE loud. But I don't want my living room to explode. I want a lower range of volume.
Shit, watch an old action movie. The speech isn't as quiet compared to the explosions and gunfire as it is nowadays.
It has nothing to do with movies, but I was posting my reply here and the page updated realtime itself like three times while you were editing your post. I saw your edits almost instantly. I found that feature neat, compared to reddit. Also, agree on the loud noises.
Strongly agree with the audio mix here, that's my biggest problem.
Additionally, having kids running around making noise, subtitles have become a necessity most of the time for me and the wife.
We try to keep them off as much as possible though because we do find them distracting.
I only have a soundbar, but I found Tenet perfectly understandable when watching at home.
Ah, I watched it in the cinema and while mine wasn't the worst, in some cinemas it reportedly was completely unhearable.
Of course with piracy in particular there's another thing - people will often download a 5.1 or 7.1 audio track movie because that's the first available torrent they find, but then play it on stereo speakers on their TV or computer and the discrepancies in volumes will be huge.
