discussion The 'What are you watching' Thread

I generally prefer subs. There's the odd anime where with a really good dub, it's still fine since you don't notice the mismatch between mouth movement and the sound of English speech like you do with live action.

Once you start picking up another language you definitely notice how 'generous' some subs and dubs can be with translations too. I notice it in some French and Japanese media where the translation can be pretty different from what's actually being said (though usually you're still getting the jist of it). I've noticed it a little in Spanish media too, but I don't know enough Spanish to really judge how much is due to idiom and slang that doesn't transfer over versus creative changes.

myself being a not to fast reader tend to have issues watching the show and reading the texts dont get me wrong I have seen allot of great movies that are better them most American made movies with subs but I am sure I missed at least one 1/3 of them just reading the subs hehe

Loved the season finale for Legends of Tomorrow. Was hilarious.

I think that show was kind of a little to slow for me I did like some of the mood music they used

@CMetaphor was right, watching Doom Patrol. Show is awesome af. It is hilarious.

It is quite the great show, ain't it Lowfat, lol. Second season is crazy good too.

Funny yes. But also a show that can be shockingly serious, dark and emotional. I was - and still am to this day- shocked at how many issues DP addressed, and how well it is all handled.

I'll just come out and say it: if there were more good people in the world like them, we'd be a hell of a lot better off.

there is a distinct lack of stuff to watch right now...all the shows I was following had their season finales and nothing new will come from them for another year.

Just finished Ad Astra. SciFi movie, sort of, with Brad Pitt. Snorefest...

Maybe it just went over my head somehow but the whole premise just seemed daft to me, with lost of parts that just made me go "whaa...?!". Complete waste of time.
