What's this trash thread about? If you want to watch a movie in English you can do that. However, can you watch any movie in Norwegian? Didn't think so.

And subtitles fucking suck...  only elitist nerds would watch a movie in a language they don't understand and read subtitles all the time.

Haha, I just find it funny!

I know... we dub anything. I prefer a well-dubbed movie over a subtitled one. Easily. Since I'm fine with American English I'd much rather watch the Embed Movie with original sound - but if I couldn't understand it, I'd prefer the dubbed version over the English one.

What's the problem with subtitles? Dubbing is so fake. It takes alot from the actors, I'd say. If I was to watch a Spanish movie, I'd never want to watch it dubbed to Norwegian.

It definitely takes a lot from the actors, no doubt. Good voice actors are often better than the actual screen actors, though. In those niggerish movies it is pretty ridiculous to voice act over in German, of course. But in regular movies I don't see the problem. I've watched Spanish movies with subtitles and it's often just annoying when you can't focus on what's actually happening (facial expressions of the actors etc) because you have to read. Also, some languages I don't understand can be really annoying, sound-wise.

It still doesn't mean Germans should know it. Unless they are talking to some American they really have no need. Same thing with anyone else, even the same with english speaking mother fuckers. If they wanted to talk to someone else of another language they'd need to learn it.

subtitles > some bullshit dub that probably looses the context of the joke or tone of the scene.


for example, City of God would of been ruined, imo, if some whack ass voice actors fucked with it.  id rather watch the movie with the original sound and language while reading subtitles.

Yeah, ok - but why don't they just subtitle it? It's not that hard to read the subtitles AND follow along with the movie.

Subtitles are all good, can't stand voice overs, only dubbed movies I'll watch are old school kung fu flicks.

LMAO  But K Dub's got a point. ESPECIALLY when they try to translate slang, this never works. And not translating movies make people get used to English. No surprise that i.e. Scandinavians and Dutch folks speak English that well. Germans are average English speakers but if you're going to Southern Europe, good luck...  ;D

BTW how many foreign languages do YOU speak K DUB?

Germany has great voice actors, but to be honest I would prefer subtitles with original language, simply because a lot of jokes can't be translated properly.  The thing is, if I'm already used to a version, I can't switch anymore. I couldn't watch the Simpsons in English, becuae I watched it for 10+ years in German. The other example would be Chapelle's show, first they showed it with subtitles, but later they dubbed it and I thought 'WTF this is so wack' and switched the programme immediately.

English obviously, I understand Danish, Swedish, had German at Junior High (did not see an advantage there, so I gave it up) and I studied Russian in High School but that shit was too hard, so I gave that up too.
