I know you have all been waiting for my two cents on subtitles: they're bad and distracting.

Have you considered that you're bad and distracting?

it is not!

also there's the things some opera houses do, where every seat has a little LCD on the back of it to display captions to the person sitting in the seat behind it

I've seen systems where the LCD display is on the back wall and captions are displayed reversed. Then you get a piece of reflective clear plastic from the theater with an adjustable stand.

Ever theatre I've been in over the last like 20 years has had off screen subtitles and close captioning that you need a little mirror thing to use. Is that not standard practice across NA?

What have I become, my Swedish friend?

What’s the meme framework where the guy is looking at a dog and goes “yeah”? Like, he’s sadly agreeing with everything being terrible? I’m having a hard time googling this one

I think it’s portraying when your sense of dismay and disappointment with humanity overloads and all you can manage is a feeling of mild surprise. Googling "yeah meme" doesn't help though and now it’s bugging me.

No, it's mocking the oblivion crisis and mehunes dagon being unprepared for the argonians of black marsh sheer badass nature to counterinvade the realm of oblivion.

Weirdly, I learned that fact from a book I found scattered in pages across a park in Portland favored by the homeless, so results may vary.

Subtitles are a loving necessity if you’re watching a Nolan movie.

Nolan is probably the worst offender, but nobody talks about loudness wars in terms of movie mixing but it is absolutely a thing. The last time I went to a theater and the sound effects and music weren't painfully loud was when an arthouse theater was showing the original Suspiria film which was actually purposefully very loud compared to other movies from the 70s.

It doesn't count as Lore unless it was assembled in fragments from rumours and scraps of forgotten knowledge.

I'm just happy that Larry Flynt lived long enough to see all of the christian conservative slimeballs that built their careers attacking him spend 4 years kissing the rear end of a porn-peddling sex criminal that spent more time in Stormy Daniels than he did in a church.

You know Larry Flynt was grinning ear to ear every time Pat Robertson went on TV to defend a sleazebag president that paid a porn star six figures to gently caress him while his third wife was pregnant at home.

subtitles are great because netflix is to cheap to pay voice actors to dub their work so they have 5 interns do it all and 4 of em should be fired from their non paying job they are so bad at it.
