English subtitles

[just_me]

Anyone ever watch an English speaking movie with the English subtitles on? I've really gotten into the habit of doing that. You, or at least I do, get a lot more out of the movie. You never say "What did he just say" because it's right there on the screen.

I'm weird, I know, but I love it.

that's weird, but wait, you already know that. I've never done that but you know what it's a good idea for some movies that are hard to pick up on some of the lines!

Why just last week we were watching a movie and we uttered those exact same words: "What did he just say"

playing it twice did not help!

well I dunno about subtitles for English movies but I suppose it would be good if the movie had a lot of slang or heavy accents in it

I never used to like movies with subtitles but you get used to it and there are a lot of excellent foreign films you would miss if you didnt try
kinda get used to it and it doesn't detract from the movie

i do that sometimes, but if it is forced on me I don't like it. I always end up reading the movie instead of watching it and that is no good. might as well have gotten a book.

I never have. I know some people who do that to watch everything, I just find it weird.

we actually watch most of our movies in our bedroom while the kiddo sleeps ion her room (our living room is right next to her room) ...anyway it's a small DVD home theatre system ,very cheap one - if it's a quiet movie we often have a tough time keeping up with the dialogue b/c it's just not loud enough.

that would be an instance where it might behoove us to turn on the captions!!

I also love having english subtitles as there are some parts of the movie that we cannot grasp and having subtitles just solved the problem.
