I am currently watching this movie...
on Netflix. However, a ways into it, I realized I had forgotten to turn on the subtitles. (Yes, I watch movies with the subtitles on. No, I am not eighty, nor hard of hearing. Don't judge me.)
So, having turned them on, it took me a while of watching (while doing other things around the room) to realize I was actually reading something different than they were speaking. The dialog was actually from this movie...
Now, to clarify, and also to prove I am not abnormally dense, I do in fact often think through the other representations of a movie while watching one. So it wasn't unusual to be thinking the very words I was reading, while hearing what I was hearing. Of course, I know these two movies well enough to quote most of them start to finish. For anyone who doesn't, this could be very distracting. Especially for someone with actual hearing issues. Lol. I would say I can see it now, except that my eyes are still teary from laughing so hard about watching two movies at once. Finally, someone has come up with a way to keep up with me...
I guess the next step is to have one with sound, video, & subtitles all be different. That is the only way I can think of to do the "Shop Around The Corner/Good Ol' Summertime/You've Got Mail" series. I think I just developed a twitch, though.
