    This is the real reason I don’t like subtitles. The terrible dialogue takes away from the scenery and music, and I don’t want it.

        If I had a setting to turn off the dialogue audio, I’d use it. The writing is always awful and ruins the movie for me.

        I watch movies for the music, camera work, scenery, and costumes. I don’t want or need people talking and distracting me from what I find enjoyable about movies.

        Sometimes I watch movies on mute so I can actually pay attention to them without all the blabbing.

        Why is it a sin to mute the video and play a different musical backing track? Why does everybody insist I pay attention to dialogue?

          Because the dialogue is often an integral part of the experience and by wholly denying yourself paying attention to one of it you’re both denying the artists original vision as well as denying yourself the true experience.

          But that’s just me

            But why not deny myself the true experience, if the true experience is not something I enjoy?

            Do you feel the same way about game mods? Fanfic?

            Edit: this is really just another rehash of the dubs vs subs debate innit lol
