> My dad, brother and two cousins were like that too when we went to see "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" I loved it, while my cousins (both 16) didn't stay awake and my dad and brother thought that reading subtitles was too difficult. I have no idea where I got my genes.

Crouching Tiger was my first theatrical experience with subtitles. [Since then, i've seen one opera in Italian, with the translations on an upstage screen.] I enjoyed Tiger so much that i haven't been able to make myself rent the video, because i can't find it except with English dubbed over the voices. I guess i'm scared it'll seem too much like the old Kung Fu Theater things with somebody like John Wayne doing the hero's voice--great for a laugh, but a story as noble as CTHD deserves better.
