Title: no English subtitles/closed captions!
Product review: (5/4/12) One star for this DVD because of the lack of subtitles/closed captions. It's incomprehensible to me why a studio would do this, unless it's a misguided and callous attempt to economize. There must be millions of movie fans who want subtitles/captions for different reasons, so I'm not sure how the studios think they are economizing by ignoring the wishes of a large segment of the market. I like to watch movies at low volume with the English subtitles turned on so I don't have to strain to catch all the dialog, while my wife is a non-native English speaker who needs subtitles. Certainly there are many cinephiles with less than perfect hearing. So it would seem to be counterproductive for studios to release DVDs like this one.
