I'm pretty happy that the dutch use subtitels too. Dubbing is just soo horrible. I really don't see the problem with subtitles. I actually even switch on the english subtitles for an english spoken movie while watching a DVD. It's just easier if you can also read it (when someones makes a noise or something).

I was just in Bulgaria and they dub almost everything on TV there. They even let the original audio still a bit audible (because of the effects and the music I guess) Just drives me nuts. Watching Fawlty Towers while someone is apparently reading the lines of a piece of paper just doesn't have the effect as the great vocals from Basil and Manuel. Oddly enough the movies on the big screen are not dubbed there.

ok, i went and saw this last evening. not bad. only prob i guess is that the reviewers were touting it as 'funny' in the same way as films like 'evil dead'. thus, everyone in the cinema was laughing at all sorts of things- even the production title (show box) animation at the beginning. they were primed to do so. there were some deliberately funny moments of course. i found myself overly distracted by the device setting up the premise: the premise being that formaldehyde is disposed of into the han river. the reason? the jars were dusty! WTF?

the effects were pretty good, the two main studios were from new zealand and san francisco. the cinematography was great. lots of rain, reminding me of 'seven samurai' for that atmospheric feel.

the cinema i went to only charges $6.80 (about $5 US id guess) so at that price it was worth it.

I saw The Host this past weekend. It's a great movie. I've seen a ton of subbed movies, and I've never had a problem with them.

There are, in fact, a couple of scenes involving Americans where they speak in perfect English and the subs are dropped. I'm sure it works in reverse in Korea.

We took my brother's fiance (a Korean girl). She didn't need the subs, but she never comments on how accurate they were or weren't. So they must have been at least decent.

Kung Fu Hustle was on last Saturday.

I was watching it for about a half an hour before I realized I was reading subtitles.

I love that show.
