[QUOTE="SolidSnake35"][QUOTE="no_more_fayth"]Because just watching doesn't give you the full experience, especially in movie theaters. You can miss important dialogue. I wish theaters had subtitles, that's why I'm reluctant to even go to them.no_more_fayth
It could be argued that spending time reading text also takes away from the experience. Pros and cons either way.If people would read more, then they wouldn't have a problem reading quickly to not deter their visual experience.
I really hope you aren't being serious. I am a very fast reader, and I can usually read the entire line in less than a second. But I just don't like them. I find that when there are subtitles, I spent the time reading and not listening. Sure, I sometimes miss things that I don't hear, but nothing important that can't be figured out later in a movie. The important plot elements are never in parts that are hard to hear, unless you're watching a bad movie. Personally, I prefer straining to listen more than reading. It gets you more involved in the movie. I also hate how subtitles how give away what they are going to say. Knowing what the actor is going to say makes the movie a lot less dramatic in some parts.
I just don't see the point of reading English subtitles when I can hear and understand English. If I'm watching a foreigh film I will turn them on, but never for an English film.
