" respecting the creative intent of the artists behind the movie."
Annoyingly, the 'creative intent of the artist' seems to often be for me to turn the volume up and down throughout the movie.
It seems like a fairly common complaint, even from those with normal hearing, that dialog is sometimes unintelligible while the action scenes are overly loud. If they've mixed it that way then they did it wrong and I feel no need to 'respect' that.
If my car seat is unconfutable but can be improved by adding a lumbar support should I 'respect' the designer and stay uncomfortable?
"but not for respecting the creative's intent"
Does that extend to screen size? Sound system? Are you disrespecting them if you don't have a proper THX approved sound system and a screen above a certain size? What if you just use the speakers in the TV for the sound? Blackout curtains a requirement?
