Mumbling actors.

I think I mentioned this in another post (as a kind of afterthought), but this comic hit home.  I have noticed the lack of care in making sure the audience can hear what is being said on television shows and in movies.  I have often had to back up (thank goodness for DVRs) and turn up the volume to try and understand what a character is saying.  Then, I have to be certain to adjust the sound for any "action" or commercials that follow.  It is pretty annoying.

Annoying and way too loud.

I have wondered about this because there are several stores whose music has driven me out.  Odd, since I'm sure I have more disposable income than most 20-somethings.  Hard to figure.
