Slumdog Millionaire, the non-review

[averygoodun42]

Just wanted to note that I saw and enjoyed it. But I also wanted to note that those were the WORST subtitles I've had the displeasure of not being able to read in a long time.

I'm sure they worked just fine in the theater, or on 50" sets. Not so much on smaller TVs. *blows raspberry*


Jane Austen Book Club is next movie up, though Geoff and I have the third season of Dr. Who (10th Dr.) to watch over the week, as well. (yay) It might end up that I watch the movie alone, depending on his priorities. Which would be okay with me.

It's kinda nice watching movies again. Even if it does lead to late bedtimes and restlessness... :-/

Yeah, subtitles not working so well with watching movies on my computer: or more portable media - which I don't use, but many people do.

Yeah, it would have been even worse on the computer monitor, which is significantly smaller than our tv! But even if the screen had been larger, it would have been difficult to read because of the occasional white on white and such. I'll give them points for trying, with the different colored background around the type, but... Bah.

Why does it seem to be so difficult to subtitle well?
