Amen. Also; subtitle your fucking special features or commentaries. If you want to show off all the cool stuff you did to everyone, and you’re not an actor, subtitle that too.

It’s not just the deaf. My wife is Bolivian. She speaks English very well, but at times she still has trouble understanding other people when they are talking in English. So we watch all our movies with subs… it just makes it easy for her to be certain she’s following everything that’s going on.

And I find that I like being able to read the subs, too!

I love it when you flex your claws in a good cause “But these folks have trouble with overlapping dialogue or weird audio effects on voices or echoes or any of a bunch of other stuff that you thought made your film better.” describes me pretty well (too many Grateful Dead concerts), and movies without subtitles are becoming unwatchable. Thanks!

Chalk up another fan of subtitles. I watch a lot of movies late at night while the kiddos are sleeping. I don’t mute the sound, but I do turn it down so low that it’s really hard to make out what people are saying. It’s either subtitles or headphones, and headphones get old after a while.

And, like LateBit mentioned, my ears also tend to garble movie dialogue, especially things that are whispered. I wish movie theaters had subtitles. Actually, I wish real life had subtitles.
