Am I getting old?

[lexin]

aunty_marion and I have been watching action movies. Last night we saw Justice League.

I think I’m going deaf or it’s a sign of getting older: the dialogue was too quiet, we could hardly hear what they were saying, but the fights, special effects and music were all too loud. No amount of fiddling with the settings seems to help.

The other thing we’ve been watching is Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. A full report when we’ve seen “Yeoman of the Guard”, but so far “Cox and Box” is the most stupid show I’ve ever seen in my life. Unless you know different?

Was about to recommend the same thing. Subtitles change your life (I found it impossible to understand half the dialogue in "Gosford Park", for instance; Altman meant half of it to be inaudible. Watched it with subtitles ten years later and it was like wearing good glasses after peering at a screen for years.)
