POASTIN

I guess I do that.

Yup. My hearing ain't too good.

Only foreign movies.

For normal movie, considering I have no hearing problems, it's totally fucking pointless.

Sometimes I do, but not every movie

I don't...why would I? I speak English.

Totally me. It upsets me if movies don't have subtitles.

i like being able to read what they say. its still different from just hearing them.

dubs > subs :3

Depends on the movie or show. If I can't reliable make out the dialogue, due to accents, the speed at which it's spoken, highly technical words, etc. I'll leave 'em on. It drives everyone else I know crazy though, so I try to keep them off.

I find subtitles to be distracting. Even if I can clearly hear and understand the words, my eyes will lock onto the text.

I really only use them if the people are British.

I also had to use them all the time when I watched The Wire.

i only watch subs if its foreign, but first with dubs because i would like to see whats going on in the movie pictures first before i have to read shit on the screen.

I think less of people who can't understand accents and need subtitles.

Gotta have subs for every movie I watch.

>>4408741

that's odd, I do the exact opposite, mainly because most dubs suck imo, I like to be able to hear the way the original actors/actresses acted.

>>4408808
>I'm a weeaboo talking about something completely unrelated

>>4408808
i agree that dubs suck, thus why i have to watch the original voices too to better understand their emotion/intent behind their words. i'd rather get what their saying and doing first than get the full emotion behind it all. movies are after all about the pictures, otherwise it would just be audio stories or books.

I don't have a problem reading subtitles and paying attention to whats on screen, but only non-english stuff.

If its in English, I have no need for them.

>>4408808
The english dub cast of Cemetery Man would like a word with you.

>>4408833
>movies are after all about the pictures

i try to get subs to almost all movies, sometimes when it doesnt sync even after i fix synching problrmsi just give up

>>4408758

Myen da pumda dun hoot ta foosha onda pend

You forgot "bix nood"

You fuckfaces can't even properly interpret Japanese actors. So why do you guys hate dubs? I mean yeah some of the shittier animes have bad dubs, but stuff like Cowboy Bebop and Princess Monoke have great dubs.

>>4408851
They are, reaction image. The first movies didn't even have sound.

Film is a visual medium.

>>4408877
There are exceptions. Very few dubs are actually good.

Also,

Try watching something else. Hate to break it to you, but the vast majority of foreign MOVIES don't have, and never will, have dubs.

>>4408695
This, and some movies are mixed like shit, yes we know gunshots are loud, you really don't need to show us every damn time.

>>4408884
Movies have changed

>>4408904
Well, I think that was exactly his point...animated stuff is a lot easier for dubbing, I don't think anybody would really watch dubs of live action stuff :3 I mean, in that case, yes, subs are best...

>>4408904
Dipshit, foreign animation goes along very well with dubbing.

Movies that are actually important like Das Boot and Der Untergang don't need dubs.

>>4408919
You're dumb

Most dubs are awful
Subtitles are silly if you understand the language

end

I can't agree man, the sound makes such a difference. but it's one of those things you don't miss till it's gone.

let me use this example because it happened like a day ago. I saw the hurt locker in theaters and decided to download it (I'll buy it when it comes out) and started playing it on my computer, there was something missing, the movie has an awesome bass track, so I brought my laptop into the basement and watched it on my tv with my 5.1 system and it was perfect.

admittedly the sound is less important than the pictures but the sound is very important, think about a movie like 300, it's full of those epic, goosebump educing scenes but if you take out the soundtrack it just doesn't have the same power.

Not every movie, but most of them. If I watch a foreign movie, even if it's in English, a language I obviously understand. I prefer to have have subtitles it's easy to miss stuff otherwise. Besides I've grown up watching movies and TV-shows with subtitles. I dont even know that I read them. Sometimes subtitles can dissapear from a TV broadcast and I can sit there for half an hour without noticing.

You faggots do realise that subtitles butcher the original dialogue as well, right?

I definitely prefer dubs, assuming that the movie wasn't altered in any other major way in the transition. The imagery in most movies is more important than hearing the original accents IMO, and deserves full attention. Subtitles potentially distract from that, especially in quick-moving scenes.

Not as much as dubs can/do

>>4409023

haha, this ^^^^^^

you seen the comparison of the original and updated LtROI subs? they're absolutely terrible, I'm glad I saw it first time with the good ones or it probably would have ruined the movie to some extent.

>>4409074
For live action, the original accents are way more important, considering they convey all the emotion in the scene at the time of shooting.

If you're talking about anime dubs, go to /a/

>>4409023
Not as much as closed captions :3

>>4409092
Emotion is implied even more by body language than by voice.

>>4409092
that all depends on how good the actors are :3

>>4409111
ok then
