I just want to be able to clearly hear dialog. Apparently that's an unreasonable request in modern sound mixing.

It'd also be nice if they stopped having scenes so poorly lit you can't see what's happening.
Darkness and mumbling punctuated with lens flares and BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM because sensory assaults are cruise control for EPIC 
Yeah I can't stand when people move around on my pirated cam videos
I want every movie to have the sound mixing fuckery of tenant during important dialogue. You can't stop the future 
It's so awful. I've been watching an HBO show the past week and I've gotta crank everything in my setup to 200% to be able to hear everyone's voices (and of course when they decide to get loud it peaks the shit out of my speakers), don't have to do that with any other channel.
Don't forget the slow tempo remix of famous song from movie they're rebooting for the 6th or 7th time.
I had to laugh when the Beetlejuice 2 trailer did this with the fucking Banana Boat Song
You spin me riiiiight round...

I'm so sick of that canned-epic template that I deliberately arrive late if I'm going to the movies at all.

This is why you pirate that shit, except Deadpool and Aliens because those were actually good this year.
both those are prime pirate fodder to me. the only major studio release that I saw in theaters this year was Furiosa and it flopped :/
Oh yeah and it also needs a "dry humping against wall face-eating kiss for 1 second" moment. 
Didn't you also forgot the Abba/Mama-mia song troupe for slutty girlboss, who ends up with a "pious" old-money hunk, and senior-citizen-coming-of-the-day movies?
And explicit rap song for kids movie - who cares if there's racial slurs, adult slangs, and textual graphic content, right?

The new Space Jam had the Droogs from Clockwork Orange for le epic kid friendly reference. 
Everything was run through a color filter that turned absolutely everything black. I'm literally looking at a black screen but hearing audio. Is this hysterical blindness? Is the scene supposed to be completely invisible? Is my computer about to explode?
Trailers aren't a part of the movie?
But modern trailers just spoil the entire film, and well, I am already picky when it comes to watching movies.
The best movie that came out this year was Love Lies Bleeding, and it had a pretty great trailer too. though I'd recommend just going in blind
Are you just watching movies from 1998-2010? Trailers donβt say those lines anymore unless itβs a childrenβs movie or low brow β#1 comedy in amercaβ movie.
I swear that the 2024 remake of the "Crow" movie has the exact same sequence of presentation. There's the 2024 Transformers animated movie, which is also similar. And there's more, which I can't seem to recall at the moment.
