I didn't want to make the impression dubbing should be banned entirely. If someone simply prefers not to read when watching a movie so be it. That's perfectly fine. My point was you used to have a choice. It's that option I dearly miss. As Colleen said, if given the choice she goes with the original audiotrack. I'm the same way. But wait, I'm a fool. It's probably best to play the latest Harry Potter in German for ten weeks in two half empty auditoriums of the same theater instead of having a German and an English version. Sorry, I think at this point I'm just repeating myself, basically rephrasing my rant. I'm just fed up with this bullshit. It's well past an annoyance. They frickin' ruined going to the movies for people like me and I loved going to the movies. I used to go around fifty to sixty times a year. I've gone to the movies twice this year so far. I'll shut up now. This belongs in the 'I just need to whimper' thread anyway.
