Can anyone understand what that Sheriff near the beginning is saying?  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

Perhaps the part you didn't hear was him admonishing the younger deputy for cursing: "show some respect, you're in the house of The Lord." I watched the film in DTS yesterday and heard some quality problems with the sound in the center channel. The dialog sounded over-modulated when The Bride narrated the backstory of O-Ren. It sounded kind of like bad analog on the part where she talked of O-Ren being an American Army brat living in Japan with her parents. But the film was playing in DTS while this happened. That dialog quality problem continued until she visited the Man from Okinawa. After that, the dialog improved but was still distorted in parts. What is odd is the quality in the other channels was clear. (equipment in booth: Dolby CP-65, DTS-6 2-drawer player, THX crossover, QSC amps, Simplex projector/Strong X90 console). The Carmike 8 here has 1 print/set of discs for the show. So there's no way to swap them out to tell. I guess the only other way is to see if it sounds the same way in Dolby SR. I guess I'll find out for sure when the DVD gets released. Really pretty wierd and distracting to a degree.  |  IP: Logged
