> I have a hard time watching most modern films, it is the dialog, the dialog just sounds bad
I read somewhere that the problem is the trend of actors whispering their lines or talking under their breath for dramatic effect, and that the audio has to be heavily amplified to make it audible, but in that process, fidelity is lost and so the dialog is hard to understand.
I know I'm not the only person who watches movies and TV with subtitles on these days. Watching a movie at a theater is awful because the difficult to understand audio is made worse by being in a large room.
