I saw Tenet in theater and had no issue at all with the sound mixing, so I suspect the issue comes from having a mix that is highly sensitive to bad audio setups in theaters. I guess you still kinda can blame Nolan for that because he made choices knowing that watching the movie in bad theaters could result in a bad experience, but shouldn't the brunt of the criticism be on bad theaters?
Right now with video games you can edit the sfx, dialogue, and music volume. They’re 3 separate audio tracks. I have a prediction that in 20-30 years from now, we’ll have that capability on streaming services where we can personally change the audio to better suit our individual preferences.

If only they would invent some kind of app where you could equalize your sound system. Maybe call it an equalizer.

In 20-30 years audio will be piped in directly through your ScreamCo Catheter along with your daily nutritional supplements. At ScreamCo we put the C in USB-C!

Disagree. In 20 years companies will have either completely locked the consumer out of all user adjustable features. Or sound settings will be defaulted to mono, unless you are subscribed to the "ultra-super-double-plus-good-+++-prime" subscription plan.

Probably true. History has shown services get worse over time and prices go up.

Looking up her bio, she grew up/went to school mostly in Mexico and Kenya. That could explain why - I know US middle/high school used to teach The Odyssey in English class, but it might not be standard curriculum in those countries

US college, outside of classes that might specifically cover that type of literature, isn't going to go over it again because they assume you already did that shit previously

Lives in western society and works in the highest echelons of culture yet had no idea what the odyssey is?

Yeah, plus the whole masters in DRAMA at fucking YALE should have addressed her overseas education.

The funny thing is that Cybsled's logic isn't wrong. I read a short story about Scylla and Charybdis in like 3rd or 4th grade and The Odyssey in early middle school. I can definitely picture it never coming up at the university level even without dumbing things down for the Didn't Earn It admissions. Reasonable argument or not, of fucking course it's Cybsled who comes galloping in to defend her.

Speaking of which, if they'd cast her to play Scylla instead I don't think anyone would be complaining.

Pretty sure most of us read this in middle school or high school


A damning indictment for sure, but...is anyone actually surprised by it?

Also, not reading it and not having even heard of it are two different things. The second just speaks to being ignorant of everything.
