no control over subtitles.

Really most theaters I know you can rent a little plexiglass thing which gives you subtitles from a rear projector.

What the fuck?
Most theaters I know simply put the subtitles in the local language in EVERY movie.

Yeah but the thing about being British is the local language is English. So I don't need subtitles to watch John Wick.

Usually subtitles are only for the benefit of people who are deaf who obviously aren't very large percentage of the population so they get a little plexiglass thing so everyone else doesn't have to look at pointless subtitles.

I have working ears and I always watch media with subtitles. Don't pretend to speak for me.

Good for you?

I have nothing against people watching with subtitles if they want to watch with subtitles. When did you get that idea?
