21 Ways Modern Movies Have Become Completely Insufferable

They don’t make ‘em like they used to, and when it comes to movies, that’s literally true. Back in the day, you couldn’t turn on the subtitles to make sure you caught everything rattled off in those transatlantic accents, and you were almost certainly not watching a sequel or any type of franchise. Of course, only five people were allowed to make films and they were mostly about the necessity of slapping women, so you take the good, you take the bad.

But a lot has changed since then. We have subtitles, and they suck. We can’t hear what the actors are saying, not because they’re talking too fast but because their sound sucks. You might not have seen an original movie in years. You might just have a life, though, and you’re perfectly happy to sit through the latest Tron. That’s fine, but please maintain a distance of at least six feet. We don’t want to catch what you have.
