I dislike crew talk for the same reason I don't like movie editors who feel that every time a horse appears the have to edit in a whinny, or every time there's a dog we have to hear a whimper or a bark, or every time a tree is in the shot we have to hear birds chirping ... etc. It doesn't depict real life for me. I don't hear the chatter of the crew on the radio when I'm watching a train pass by, why should I have to listen to it with my model railroad?
IMHO, crew talk was invented for the people who have the TV on in the next room as they're doing dishes, on in the bedroom as they're sleeping or have the radio on in the car at a volume one can't possibly understand what's being sung or said. It's audio clutter to me, and just unnecessary.
Yup, I don't mind silence once in awhile ...
