But screw British summer time. I hate it that I lost one bloody hour of sleep last weekend. I really pity those who had their birthdays that day. Imagine that - only 23 hours to celebrate.

So who here watches films with subtitles? I know I do. Since the advent of DVD, I almost always watch films with subtitles. It is not because I am slow, but because I find it pleasant to be able to know what the actors are mumbling about sometimes. On a normal telly with non-cinema speakers, inaudible mumblings which contain key plots is an issue.
But I believe subtitles only belong to DVDs. I had the misfortune of watching an English film that had subtitles in the cinema at West India Quay. It was a one-off screening for people with trouble hearing. Cinemas has good enough speakers that I didn't need those blasted subtitles. I left and demanded a refund.

Have a nice weekend.

Late komen, kenORknot?
I also like watch movies with subtitles, like:
War movie, commander yells: Fire! Fire!
Subtitle in Malaysia-eh" Api! Api!
In court, Lawyer says: I'm holding a watching brief on behaldfof deceased's family...
Subtitle: Saya ambil seluar dalam untuk pihak keluarga Pesakit ...
PS: I jest applied for a Translator's job at RTMmm3 at RTElm on Friday!:(
Yes, the subtitles in Malaysia are awful, not to mention they are burnt into the film.
Nothing beats the Chinese bootleggers though:
