Subtitles ruin native-language movies. I'll enable them if I'm watching something in public because I'm not a monster but otherwise I hate them.
Get some decent speakers, FFS. A 'sound bar' does not qualify. A good center channel speaker is essential. Don't even need the rear surrounds with a good front setup.
Why is that?
You end up reading and not watching the movie. Focus is split between the two instead of just enjoying the experience.
I have this problem with games, but there's no rewind on games, and for some reason every game maker has decided that the most critical information you ever get happens when there's loud sounds going on as some climatic event is happening and you can't understand a fucking thing they say.
So most of the game I don't need it, except for what ends up being the most important times I need it and don't have it, so I have to leave them on in games.
And ya it's distracting. At best I'm concentrating on not reading them which is distracting itself.
