I want to be the one in charge of monitoring the web for a company, just so I can look at everything and anything and know that I'll never catch me. heh heh Jeff - I can understand what you mean about looking up and down a lot. It can be tiring. I just learned to read subtitles fast and look only peripherally at them to see when they've changed so I can look down again. It doesn't bother me too too much. ShyGuy - Thank YOU for the question. If I had a prize to give out on this, you would have been the winner. Paul C - Thanks much. I'll definitely be up for answering those next Friday. Anyone else? Questions, anyone? Josh - THAT’S the job I want.

And for the obligatory nonsense question: You are stuck on a desert island, what kind of cereal do you take with you? Cheers! Couple questions here Augie:

-Which of the summer comic book related movie are you looking forward to the most?
-Are plans for summer holidays this year or any places you would like to visit?
-Do you ever wake up one morning and decide you can’t be bothered to do a V&S post, or is it drummed into your head by now after going at it for so long?
-Would also you rank the season 5 finale of The Shield as one of the best, most unexpected/shocking/brilliant scenes ever on TV?

And for the obligatory nonsense question: You are stuck on a desert island, what kind of cereal do you take with you?

Cheers!

Of course, if anyone were monitoring, that would be me. The perks of working in the IT department! Sad thing was the getting sick over the holidays actually ended up being my Mom's fault as she brought the bug home with her! Nah, not worried about anyone at work monitoring what I am doing.

We often turn on captions to catch a line we couldn't quite understand, and then sometimes leave them on throughout the show/movie. What I've noticed is that when the captions are on, I spend more time looking down at them than I do at the visuals, and so I end up feeling like I'm missing part of the experience. So I suppose that could be part of people's resistance to subtitles... Regarding subtitles — I have recently come to realize something that applies equally to captions as it does to subtitles.
