Sabra, why do you have a problem with subtitles?

Hi, Tribade:

You know the answer, Girl! Old age!

I am in the very, very early stages of cataracts and my vision isn't as clear as it was a year ago. Even with correction, old fashioned subtitles are hard for me to read now. They look fuzzy.

If the subtitles are the very latest kind, in yellow or relocated from the bottom of the screen (think Slumdog Millionaire) I'm fine with them, and grateful for them too.

Subtitles reduce my appreciation of film acting, but if I l ike an international film I usually watch it twice, so I don't have to read and can just appreciate the acting, etc.

I have a large monitor, and I sit very close! But I am very sorry to hear about the cataracts.

I'm still watching Sauna/Filth, once even in slow motion. Unfortunately I can't convince anyone else to see it. If I were the director, I would have cut a couple scenes. Other than that, for me, it is close to a perfect movie. But, yes, subtitles. Unless, of course, one speaks Finnish and Russian.
