    And I can’t see the movie at all if there’s subtitles. Brain won’t stop reading words to watch pretty pictures move.

    Which now makes it nearly impossible for me to watch anything with anyone, since everyone leaves the distraction bars on by default any more.

    But happy for all of y’all who are fine reading your movies. Someday maybe we can watch a book together!

      What sucks is getting older and having a hard time hearing dialog. I can hear everything else fine but dialog is becoming harder to discern every year.

      I saw Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (I think maybe I got that right) in the theater and had to sit in the front row because those were the only seats available. Everybody said what a beautiful movie that was but I wouldn’t know. I spent the whole time reading the subtitles and seeing only the bottom 10% of the screen.
