I grew up reading alot because we didn’t have internet in the house. My parents STILL dont have internet. To each their own I guess.
Yes! Sometimes movies have poorly mix audio and you can’t understand shit.
You can name names. It’s Chris Nolan.
And then you watch something from the 80s recorded with tin cans and bits of string, and none of them suffer from this.
Subtitles are amazing. Many potential or inherent benefits to having them on, few even potential downsides.
I like subtitles for everything except comedies because they ruin the delivery and cadence of the joke. I wouldn’t mind dynamic subtitles though, where script is only on screen as it’s delivered
My wife teases me because I watch everything with subtitles on (where possible - boy is YouTube inconsistent) and she says I always laugh before the funny part as a result.
I went and saw a movie in the theater (which I basically never do). I missed my subtitles.
You can ask for the glass that enables it for you if you really want subtitles at the theatre
I think it’s a legal requirement to have them for deaf people
I never knew those existed! I had to look it up. We’ve had the technology for a while, so it makes sense, but I’m surprised at how widely available it is.
I also saw mention of some theaters projecting captions on their back wall as a solution, then providing cup holder mirrors for whoever requested the accomodation.
