Imagination?

[Matheous-2]

Have any ABrs noticed in the last year,or two that some movies & documentaries now have such LOUD incidental music that it drowns speech out and makes for difficult perception?
My apologies if I should have this question elsewhere ....

[Butterbun]

Yes, I've noticed it for much more than a year. It spoils the enjoyment of many a program.

[RATTER15]

I cant say I've noticed!

[Khandro]

Drives me nuts. I wonder if a karaoke type device isn't available to remove music and leave the dialogue. Sometimes I resort to switching off the sound completely and reading the subtitles.

[Baldric]

Nope! I use TV mainly for background noise nowadays, every now and again they'll put on something that makes me look up, but it don't happen often!

[Mamyalynne]

I must admit on occasions the background music is intrusive.

[Khandro]

baldric; Dare one ask what you are doing?

[Togo]

Matheous you will have to speak up. I can't hear you for the bleadyn background music. Oh and turn the brightness up while you're at it.

[ummmm]

Yes...isn't annoying. And the brightness, as Togo says.

Talking, Reading, Crosswords, Sudokus, Accounts for Rentals, Out and about with OH, Dog Walking, Sleeping, Eating, Navel Gazing, Whatever I damn well like to be honest, I just have very little interest in TV as is at the moment and I've just checked, we have almost 200 channels available here, the Freeview Radio ones are my choice a lot of the time, we're lucky we have a property where it's very easy to get your own space if you want/need it.

[ummmm]

I mainly use it for background noise.

[Khandro]

just watched on my smart tv Woody Allen's 'Blue Jasmine' on youtube. Smashing film. No intrusive music, music yes but appropriate, and just one f word also appropriate and with effect. Cate Blanchette, gotta be the best screen actress ever!

[Matheous-2]

Will look for that film- I'm a Woody fan!....

[Tilly2]

Even on the News headlines, you get that stupid background drumming. Really irritating!
