I know the Movie Gallery up here actually has to warn people if they are renting a film with subtitles.....:rolleyes: that is just so sad. Especially considering most of them have a big yellow sticker on the front that reads "Foreign Film".

oh yeah, i work at family video and we have to put stickers on subtitled films so people will know and can't return them because they didn't want to "have to read a movie." i can't tell you how many people put
pan's labyrinth back on the shelf after realizing it was in spanish. in fact, here's a rather mind-bogglingly hopeless scenario that once happened to me regarding this:
a man brought a copy of
pan's labyrinth up the counter.
MAN: is this movie in spain-ish?
ME: yeah, it's in spanish with english subtitles.
MAN (looking dumbfounded): you mean they made it that way?
ugh. i wanted to spear him through.
