Last movie you watched......

I'd watch it.

 

I stopped watching about a third of the way through because I didn't want the experience spoiled. I will probably discover the movie wasn't worth it.

 

"I Am Mother" on Netflix. Very intriguing. Enjoyed it.

Trying to get up to speed for John Wick 3 so watched John Wick. Nice story and execution. Brutal killing.

 

Watched the Adam Sandler/Jen Aniston flick "Murder Mystery" on Netflix. It was pretty dumb, but amusing in parts, pretty light fare and it zipped along. Pretty typical Sandler flick these days. I also find it amusing that he has successfully figured out how to get paid to take his friends on exotic vacations with gorgeous women.

 

Eight months late but finally got around to watching A Star is Born last night, since it was about to go off my On Demand. Pretty damn good. My small annoyance was with the sound, as I had to turn it up to like 45 to hear any of the conversations and back down to 20 when any music played. Kind of jarring.

 

Best to watch with subtitles. Bradley Cooper pretty much mumbles the entire film.

 

I have that issue with a lot of movies when I watch on TV. It's really bad when you're watching an action flick or horror movie in bed while the wife is sleeping next to you at 1 a.m. You inch the volume up to hear the dialogue, and then a gunfight breaks out or a stinger hits when there's a kill and that's the first time you realize the volume is at deafening levels is when the wife jerks awake and shoots you a sleepy-eyed death glare.

 

I have the same issue. Have you thought about getting a speaker setup? I have heard speaker bars advertised and their premise seems to make sense for someone like me. I have a cheap tv and the speakers just cannot handle sounds when switching between loud and soft. I think the problem are the speakers and not an input issue so getting a sound bar would clear up some of the problems. I'm guessing the cost and the material/physics/locations of some tv speakers doom them to fail.

 

Our Roku remote has a headphone jack on the remote itself. You plug in headphones or earbuds and the TV itself remains silent. I don't use it much but when I do it is in exactly that "wife is sleeping" scenario.

 

I have a soundbar and subwoofer. It's the movie, not the speakers, at least in this case. As was noted, Cooper just mumbles throughout this thing and it's really, really hard to hear. I had to rewind several times just to make it out.

 

Big Kill - one of the best Westerns I have ever seen. Jason Patric was great as a villain.
