Subtitles

[Randy]

Will you watch movies with subtitles?

 

[MrMetroid]

I used to all the time

I used to all the time

Same, for some reason. Not anymore...I'm not deaf.

Rarely. You cant really enjoy a movie if you are constantly reading the bottom of the screen and not paying attention to whats happening above that.

 

[Raven]

No it pisses me off

 

[Nelliel]

Lol I watch it if it's not in english.. like Apocalypto is not in english so I watched it with the subtitles XD I never really mind

 

[Sam.]

With foreign films, yeah. I hate watching, for example, Japanese movies with dubbing. The dubbing for Spirited Away and My Neighbour Totoro was shitty, so I went for how it was intended to be viewed.

 

[MrMetroid]

Yeah I agree with Sam. I use them nowadays only if it's a foriegn language like German WW2 films seem more appropiate to listen in German

 

[Jazzy]

TBH, it drives me crazy. If I want to read then I'll go read a good book.

 

[Mr. Perfect]

I hate friggin Subtitles...it sucks because especially over here. They don't just have the normal English subtitles they have also the Arabic subtitles on EVERY movie

I like subtitles because I am deaf

 

[The Dragon Master]

I'll watch the movie without them for the first time, then I'll watch them with them after that

I agree with that. Especially if it happens to be an Anime in Japanese.

 

[Evil Eye]

Sure, gives me time to reread something I didn't quite understand.

I'm Dutch. We're a culture that, instead of lip-synching every movie or tv-series, just subtitle it.

As such, I'm extremely used to it, and the first thing I do in every game or DVD is look for the subtitles option. I prefer English subtitles over Dutch though, that way I don't miss any of the jokes that would otherwise get lost in translation.

 

[Elvira]

I have to watch with subtitles or close captioning I've no choice.

Ha, how things change in 4 years or so.  
I probably watch films with subtitles 90% of the time.  Stuff on Netflix i just can not hear for some reason.  I also watch alot of foreign films these days.
Dvds usually have quite a good volume setting, but sometimes i will put them on.

Same with games, i always turn the subtitles on.

Once upon a time I thought I'd never get used to subtitles and refused to watch foreign films.

Silly me!

xD funny answers from all these native english speakers. Basically almost every major movie is in a "foreign language" (aka english) for me so yes, 99% of the movies or even tv shows I watch will have subtitles.
