I have a perfect example of bang! bang! bang! and marble talk.
Go see "The Expendables 2" and listen to Sylvester Stallone. That guy doesn't talk - he mumbles and I wish they had subtiles right there and then.
Plenty of bangs alright, but I sympathise that Stallone had his head knocked around so much in the 'Rocky' movies that he cannot put a sentence together any longer.

These days, movies are more of an escapade with loads of action rather than dialogue.
Some of the classic remakes have technological advances......but are not making money because fewer people watch them.

But hey, maybe our HSS is getting more of an Apek and turning sentimental towards nostalgia?
What do you think?
