Boy, am I ever glad that twotonetommy, pi87 and others have complained about the sound editing of todays movies and television! Actors mumble, music is dubbed over dialogue, ambient noise from a given scene drowns out what is said, native accents prevent comprehension of the spoken words, and actors are in SPEED-SPEAKING mode-somewhat like a VERBAL EVELYN WOODS version of the script. Think of the old Fed-Ex commercials where the guy spoke about 400 words a minute or Demosthenes who used to study oratory talking with pebbles in his mouth and recited verses while running. Even multiple playbacks on my DVR fail to elicit any comprehensibility. It's NOT my hearing...I can detect a mouse-fart at the far end of the Milky Way!
