Somewhere between Interstellar and Tenet I decided that I was never going to try to watch a Nolan movie without subtitles and preferably a volume knob. I think he must be deaf/hard-of-hearing the way he wants the sound mixed.

It’s incredible to me how terribly loud The Odyssey is. At the cinema I have been frequenting I have found the sound from it travels two houses over. Both houses have decent (but sure, not great) soundproofing. I was trying to watch the rather quiet The Invite and getting distracted by the wall of noise from The Oddysey.

I was also complaining about how loud it had gotten while I was in the bathroom and thinking it was one of the houses to either side of the bathroom, but the hallway was even worse and it was the house on the other side of the hallway from the bathroom. Both doors were closed on that house, too. That has to be ear damage levels of sound inside the house.

So maybe someday I’ll catch it on streaming or find a open captions showing on a day I remember ear plugs.
