Subtitles

Do any of you guys watch DVD's with subtitles on?

I do. Dunno why though? 😕

I do too, its the only way to watch all the new Hong Kong Jackie Chan movies that never make it over here. I think his latest movie, New Police Story, is his best one yet.........

Dude, I even put subtitles on even when it's an English movie.

If it's a non english film I watch it with subtitles yes, I despise dubbing and I only watch dubbing if the film is only avaliable in dubbing(most Dario Argento films).

Foreign films, obviously. I think I had to use them once when I was watching "Snatch", just particular scenes..😂

sometimes... I have 3 little siblings and they're all very noisy 😛

i do if for some reason i'm watching them in a different language - or if i get up early in the morning and everyone else is still asleep and i feel like watching a film but i'm not meant to be watching telly - you can watch them with no sound then you see!! 😄

Yeh I only watch it with subtitles if it's not english or It's late at night or there's noise...

🪩 only if there Hong Kong movies 🪩

I have kids, and they can be noisy so the captions come in handy. I also use them when I have to keep the volume down due to the kids sleeping.

More to the point though, when using the captions, do you find that you spend more time reading the words then watching the movie? I turned on the captions to Fellowship of the Rings the other night (durning the scene at Rivendell), mostly because they were talking soft and the kids were asleep. After a while I realized the I barely new where they were because I was watching the bottom of the screen instead of the movie itself.

That's a good question. Since I was used to watching movies with subtitles for some time now, somehow I can manage to watch the movie itself and read the captions.

yeah - i know that feeling!!

completely opposite to watching a film with credits, i sometimes play the sound through the speakers and turn the telly off, so i can go round the house listening to the film!
it works really well cos i know all my films so well!

You get use to subtitles, and soon you get to read and watch at the same time and not miss a thing, gets very easy over time.

yeah i watch sometimes even if the movie isn't a forign one, but it dosn't help much, my eye sight isn't too good. it would apear that masterbation does dull the sences.
